For those unfamiliar with Home Depot "Hack". The hack involves only getting the chainsaw kit. You will use the value of the free battery to reduce the main kit price.
How to do the Hack:
Option 1: Order the battery to one store and order the Chainsaw kit to a store near you. Pick up the chainsaw kit then go online and cancel the pick up on the Battery at the other store. This will result in only getting charged the prorated value of the chainsaw kit which will be the "Hack" Price.
Option 2: Order for home Delivery then just return the battery to a local store. Can also ship it back but that's more of a hassle.
Happy hunting.

Home depot often says product no longer available remove it from your cart from deals but usually goes away after waiting some time. No idea what resolves it but I can usually order after waiting a few hours unless truly oos
My store could not cancel the battery order. That's why it sat for 3 weeks past the final pick up date. They ended up marking the order as picked up and refunded me instead. So going forward a return is always the best solution.
The leaky bar comments are hilarious to me. You want a chainsaw to piss bar oil everywhere. The more the better. Makes your blades last longer, your cuts faster and in this case, more cuts per battery. A chainsaw that oils the bar properly is always going to dribble oil. Drain it when you're done or store it where it doesn't matter, its a chainsaw people. "I wish my chainsaw leaked less bar oil" is a sentence spoke by no arborist ever.
It works with other universal attachments (not just Dewalt). I have the edger, pole saw, and trimmer.

I assume this one can take a 9AH 60V battery as well, as I see ACME has the 16" saw + 9ah battery for $329. Seems like a decent deal also unless I'm missing something. https://www.acmetools.c
Debating on getting one of these. I typically only use my saw a few times a year and its a PITA to get it started and keep it running. At this point I only keep the gas/oil mixture for my saw and blower and have moved to electric for everything else.

The 18" and 20" 60V are considered "Gen 2" in the 60V line up and most reviewers say they dont leak.
I just ordered one so I cant speak to personal experience.
If you store it on its side so the cap faces up it does not happen(I had same experience til I found that)

You just have to store it with fill cap up so blade is horizontal instead of vertical and it doesn't leak.
