  • Sometimes I get very surprised by head to head testing and this one is just that. It's hard to explain but the results are crazy and we may need to redo this test, let me know your thoughts!

    I’m a huge Ryobi fan, but that 5 ah battery really handicapped the Milwaukee.

      you had a duller chain on the milwaukee, judging buy the lack of chips, the chain was spinning and all there was was dust while the ryobi was throwing chips, do better.
      you are bought and paid for.

    What condition was the Milwaukee chain in? I own that saw and it’s not as slow as you show.

    Great video. Thanks. I have the Ryobi 40v 14-inch chainsaw which I purchased before the 18-inch version came out. It looks like Ryobi is using the same 40v motor on both chainsaws. I contacted Ryobi support about this issue and asked if I could upgrade my 14-inch chainsaw to an 18-inch bar and chain. They said it would work fine. FWIW, I find the Ryobi chains OK, but you can upgrade the chain quality with brand name chains and get even better performance. I am very happy with the performance of my Ryobi 40v chainsaw for my jobs around the house.

    problems with this test:
    As others have noted, the Milwaukee 5 Amp Hour battery is NOT a High-OUTPUT battery (They may refer to the 5.0 as "high capacity", which it was considered to be when it first came out.) To get the full performance out of the Milwaukee saw, you need a true High-output version of their M18 battery.
    Second: the chain on the Milwaukee appears to be dull. This will greatly slow the cutting speed and also put a significantly larger drain on the battery. The test shown is really more of a comparison of which saw has the sharpest chain.
    Please repeat the test with a Milwaukee High Output battery and a properly sharpened chain on each saw. (If you are not adept at sharpening, then use a new chain of the same brand on each saw.)
    It's still possible that the Ryobi will out-cut the Milwaukee (the Milwaukee has been around for quite a while as battery saws go, without an update), but let's make it a fair comparison.

      While I agree with all you say here, I will point out that of all but one of my m18 batteries have lasted for years and still work great. The one, single m18 battery that has now failed me, is the high output HD12.0ah. The HD12ah battery is also the newest out of all my m18 batteries at about 3years old. It was also obviously by far the most expensive. Huge disappointment, and I am now moving into the Ryobi line of tools because they really seem to be getting competitive and can be had at a great value.

    Looks like one saw had a sharp chain

    Does the reason I didn't get the Milwaukee You have to put a 12 amp our battery 8 amp For it to work right

    I'm glad I bought that chainsaw a while ago!

  • @justindavis8077
    @justindavis8077 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So is it a 5ah or a High Output on the Milwaukee? Also, I can see from the ejection even if they were used similar, the chain on the milwaukee must have touched dirt because it isn't cutting so much as grinding through the wood. Chain tension is also out of wack on the milwaukee. Not saying the 40V can't kick the 18vs butt (it better actually), but this isn't really an apples to apples test that I'm seeing here.

  • @DadDoingThings
    @DadDoingThings ปีที่แล้ว

    The Milwaukee also has an issue where the chain gets too much slack when the bar is pushed up, you can see that in the video that the chain loses tension. I was going to get the Milwaukee but after several other reviews and since I'm also in the 40V platform I'll be getting the Ryobi.

      @bengdady961769 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's why you push the bare up and then tighten

  • @IMEGADETH454I
    @IMEGADETH454I 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    No such thing as a m18 5.0 high output battery. Supposed to run a 12.0, 8.0, or 6.0 high output with the Milwaukee. Also would help if you tightened the chains before cutting

    No one company has the best in every power tool made. If you want the best, be prepared to be in several lines and battery platforms.

  • @shoover2889
    @shoover2889 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Should have used the 12.0 on the Milwaukee. It’s the battery that is advertised with the product.

    • @shoover2889
      @shoover2889 หลายเดือนก่อน

      And only for the sake of showing the full potential of what it can do. Just used the Ryobi yesterday and loved it.

  • @TacticalThib
    @TacticalThib ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You can't say that's a 5 ah high output battery there is no such thing brother you know you need a 12.0 high output battery for that saw that's how it's sold and what's recommended

  • @yac9ningun

    I had the Milwaukee and I changed it to a Ryobi, big difference... Ryobi chainsaws are much better thanks to their batteries

    That chain on the Milwaukee was worthless, looks like it was backwards 🤣

  • @bread-gz3rl

    Put a 12AH on the ryobi and a 12AH in the Milwaukee then see who wins

    • @stephenpryor5063
      @stephenpryor5063 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That 12 ah RYOBI 40v battery has 21700 cells in it and is INSANE! The RYOBI would dominate with that battery

  • @user-gy9fy9sj4l
    @user-gy9fy9sj4l 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Put a 6AH on the ryobi 40V and a 12AH in the Milwaukee 18V and put new chains - then see who wins.

    Did anyone notice how loose the Milwaukee chain was? I don't think this guy chainsaws.

  • @wanderingsailor5503
    @wanderingsailor5503 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I believe the Ryobi is a better saw but goodness you need to redo the Milwaukee proper. Use a higher amp hour better, tighten your chain tension (shouldn't have that amount of chain sag) and sharpen the chain (if it's going at an angle then it's pulling to one side because the cutters on one side of the chain are nicked or duller than the other). Also, my Greenworks Commerical 82V smokes them both :P. It's a little more money though.

    Um... did you try cutting a cinder block that milwaukee first? Everyone knows that saw throws massive chips. Not here....

  • @xLTxVEGAx

    At the size of 18 inches Milwaukee should have made it 36v like their leaf blower.

    Every guy with a Milwaukee saw like 😂😂.. is the chain dull or the little battery. I’ve done full tree jobs with my Milwaukee saw and never had these issues. I think both saws need to be fresh out the box. Ryobi 40v is no joke it’s worth every penny also .

  • @lancemorgan7422
    @lancemorgan7422 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    cutting at an angle chain is dull put new chains on both then do this again

    i like Ryobi tools and have almost everyone that they make. however, i also have the same Milwaukee 18 volt saw that you used in this comparison. YOUR RESULTS CANNOT BE ACCURATE! the chain on your Milwaukee was obviously not as sharp as the one on the Ryobi and you can clearly see that the Milwaukee chain was WAY too loose. that tells me that the chain on the Milwaukee is probably very used and "stretched." I KNOW because my Milwaukee will act EXACTLY the same as your saw did when the blade is dull! i also have a Ryobi 14" 18 volt chain saw and i found that these battery saws MUST have new or very sharp chains on them to work well. i would suggest you do another comparison of the two saws in the above video but have two NEW CHAINS in packages and put the new chains on both saws AND THEN do your comparisons. i just built a large deck with a 22' ramp going to the deck and used my Milwaukee saw to cut the 6x6 posts used in this project. the Milwaukee saw will cut through a pressure treated 6x6 post in about 10 seconds. i've had my Milwaukee for at least a year and your video does NOT reflect the experience i've had with THE SAME SAW.

    This comment section full off the copium.
    Even if they use a 12AH battery as the manufacturer suggests, that's a $250 battery + $280 tool.
    The Ryobi tool and 4AH battery is as much as the Milwaukee tool only.

    The battery was a handicap this is not an apples-to-apples comparison at all man come on
