This compact 8 inch brushless cordless chainsaw is built for quick limb cleanup and small branch work, with enough power to handle the awkward middle sized cuts that are too much for loppers. The oiler is a standout for a saw this small, and the tip guard helps as a kickplate for upward cuts. It also feels easier to control one handed than a reciprocating saw, especially on a ladder or around tight yard work. The main caution is battery compatibility, since it does not seem to use standard 18 volt Ryobi packs, and the nose tip may vibrate loose. A handy pruner for light yard jobs if the battery setup fits.

  • The compact chainsaw includes an oiler, which helps keep bar lubrication convenient for small cutting jobs.

  • The saw can be used one-handed for smaller branches, which makes quick yard cleanup easier than loppers.

  • The tip guard can act like a kickplate for upward cuts on smaller branches, improving control during trimming.

  • The tool can fill a gap between loppers and larger saws by handling tiny limbs and saving thicker branches for firewood.

  • The chainsaw can cut small limbs quickly, while a reciprocating saw can still handle dirt cuts and small stumps for broader coverage.

  • The battery platform may not match standard Ryobi 18V packs, which can complicate compatibility if you already own Ryobi batteries.

  • The saw can bog down when cutting a roughly 6-inch tree with a poor cutting angle that lets the tree pinch the blade.

  • The nose tip can vibrate off during use, and reinstalling it may not be necessary for continued operation.

  • The oiler feature is not consistent across similar compact cordless chainsaw models, so this one may not match expectations if you prefer no-oiler designs.

Weird.. it doesn't seem to use the standard 18 volt Ryobi batteries. Never saw a Ryobi that uses a 20 volt battery.
This is DeWalt, not Ryobi

Both my Kobalt and Milwaukee 6" saws have oilers. Not unusual really.

I can't speak for this one, but the M18 Hatchet or whatever they call it is awesome. Lightweight and I took down an entire diseased pear tree with it just yesterday…..

If you have a battery or gas powered chainsaw, and not a smaller pruner like this, I can't recommend it enough.

I don't get this. It doesn't do anything a reciprocating saw with a longer blade can't do??

Faster mainly. Good for cutting small limbs off of a felled tree quick. But with a recip saw you can cut things off down in the dirt, roots small stumps etc. So I like to have both.

FWIW, I ordered this Thursday when posted. I have an 18" Husqvarna Gas Chainsaw, a corded Sunjoe 8" pole saw, and loppers. I don't do a LOT of cutting....but some yard cleanup for myself and a few customers. One of my main annoyances is those "middle sized" cases with limbs/trees. Too big for the quick loppers, not worth getting out the heavy Husqvarna (mid 50's guy that tries to work out, but also have elbow tendonitis) and the pole saw just too unwieldy.... completely unnecessary for certain tasks as you might imagine.
I took this out on the back fenceline yesterday after putting oil in it and using a 4ah battery (which I JUST got on the Dewalt Oscillating Multi-tool and 4ah battery deal from HD).
  • One handed use - Yes I could/can. Soooooo much better for cutting smaller branches that are too big for the loppers and for cutting up thicker branches I want to save for firewood (better than big saw and polesaw).
  • Power - only time it bogged down a little was cutting a small tree that was about 6 inches in diameter, and I didn't get a good angle on it...letting the tree pinch the blade.
  • Super easy to zip down the side of a small tree to get rid of tiny limbs etc
  • I don't have a sawzall, so can't compare to that....but this fills a gap I've been 'annoyed' by for some time
  • I personally LIKE the tip guard so far (some in forums say it's the first thing they removed). It makes a good "kickplate" for cutting upward on smaller branches in my opinion.
These are just my "2 cents" in case it helps someone. I'm not a tool junky but have a few Dewalt tools and have been back and forth about just getting one of the "seesi" or other random brands that keep coming up on here for a similar saw. But there's a part of me that just didn't want to get ANOTHER brand of battery and charger.
So far, very pleased. Will it hold up? Time will tell. 👍

I'd have to guess this is much easier to handle with a single hand than a reciprocating saw, which would help if you're trying to operate from something like a ladder.

Not just a little faster, but 5-10x faster. If you need to cut 1-2" branches it's probably 2x faster to use a chainsaw like this. But cut anything larger and it get exponentially faster with no violent shaking on loose branches. But honestly these days anything under 2 in is most efficiently handled with the battery loppers(amazing). A recip saw really has no place here.
