How do they get 1.5hp on an elec chain saw, how does this compare to the Ryobi 10" 18vt cordless? Thank you

I am a 75 year old female. I love the electric saw; it is easy to start and light weight for handling. Cuts clean and no hesitation, no bogging down. I always look forward to using it with ease.

I don't know. But for the money this cuts firewood as well as my gas Husqvarna. Easy to use for trimming and my bbq wood.

hello Brittanyi'm a licensed electrician and i use this little saw alot. i know the batteries are expensive but i would only use a battery of the same voltage and the same type battery with any cordless tool. it may harm or ruin the motor that runs the saw.

If he has dewalt battery tools it is a great addition this saw has good power and good battery life I recommend the XRP battery pack for this tool as the bare tool does not come with anything. But will work fine with regular battery pack as well.I work in construction for a living and you cant beat this tool for the price. Its not gonna replace a corded circular saw but can handle small projects. You cant go wrong with dewalt they make great products I own alot of dewalt tools.

I'm going to say, "YES." I have a Makita corded saw and it works great on it. I can't imagine the 18V version is too much different. As other have said, there's a bunch of room for adjustment on this tool so I'd be surprised if it didn't work on most all circular saw. BTW, my son has a Craftsman and it also works well on it.

I have been using this saw on a Generac 5500W generator using a 75 foot 12 gauge cord. It works quite well in that mode. I recently cut an oak tree (about 16 inch dia near the bottom) and there was no problem.

-This Great Electric Chain Saw comes with a Great Charger!-It does the same work that I do with my Gas powered Poulan Chain Saw!-Just be careful to not FORCE the tensioning knob!-I have requested and received FREE, two extra Tensioning knobs because I forced the knob when I firsttried tensioning, and turned the knob the wrong way!The 'meshing' gear is made of plastic but works fine when used correctly.But I did suggest that the tensioning gears would be better if metal!The Saw is Perfect for my use! Works great!-

I own a battery-powered model (with no extension arm) that weighs 12 lbs. I am a man of 87, and I find the saw does everything I ask of it easily and safely. I especially like its ability to slice up branches once they are on the ground.

My girlfriend weighs 100lbs and she didn't have any issues with the kickback cutting some trees in the back, honestly I can't think of any reason to go with a low kick back chain if you need any serious cutting done. My saw came with a low kickback and I couldn't get anything done. Replaced it with one of these and cut through several trees in the same time it took to do one with the low kickback and I did it with less effort because you are holding the saw a lot longer per cut with a low kick back chain. Low kickback chains make the work exhausting, I hate em. If you're elderly or a small child, maybe low kickback is the way to go, but then why are you using a chainsaw lol.

The saw works like a charm. I especially like the chain oiler. Although it is manually operated, it works great. It ran like a champ, and was just as good as a gas powered saw. I cut the limbs and part of the tree down in good time. I like it, it was lighter, and easier for me to use, as my hands are getting worse by the day.

I am not sure if it is more powerful. I have a 20v brushless hammer drill also and I interchange the batteries. Both are very powerful and really amazing drills. I have not used an 18v so I cannot compare the two types. The DCD780B is a great drill, I highly recommend it.

Not sure about your saw? but I use it to run a water make on my boat, the water maker has a 1 HP motor, starts right up!! Plenty of instant power.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought a Mac electric saw to do some one-time pruning around the yard, then dulled the chain when I hit a bolt in a piece of wood. It was quicker and not much more expensive to replace it than to have it sharpened. But if you have a Home Depot or other big-box store nearby, they should have a cross-reference guide. That's how I found mine, and the in-store price was the same as Amazon's. I just tacked mine onto another order for the sake of convenience.

good question.... why not look at the specs.... the chainsaw works great for me

I have both, and I use them on a chainsaw and a cultivator. The 2AH can go up to 20 minutes of hard continuous use on either machine, and, obviously, the 4AH can double that time. But it's almost double the weight, too, so if you're going to do a lot of overhead limbing with the chainsaw, the lighter battery is the better choice. I am glad I have both.

I like this saw, but my battery is totally dead. :( I used to use it when I climbed my avocado tree to trim the branches. I liked it because it was lightweight. Battery dies after about 20 minutes of continuous use. So I would use it until the battery runs down. I ended by getting a cordless reciprocating saw which gets the WHOLE job done! My neighbor calls this B&D; saw a toy. Hope this helps!

This is an electric chainsaw and so hp doesn't apply. As far as amps it runs on 14 amps. Only concern with electric saws is if extension cord is use it should be of proper length and guage. I burned up one motor with undersized cord but since using proper cord have had no problems. HP is associated with gas chainsaws.

I don't know how many amps but it works pretty good. Keeping the chain sharp is important. I've used to cut 20 -25 diameter trunks no problem.
