Chainsaw Showdown: From Regret to Reliable – Ranked from Worst to Best

#4. Dewalt 60V Max FlexVolt – Power Meets Portability

Regret Rating: ★★★★½

Dewalt’s 60V Max FlexVolt chainsaw might be the closest a battery-powered saw gets to gas-like power. It’s compact, powerful, and built for people who want a tough saw without the noise and hassle of fuel.
Perfect for contractors, firewood cutters, or DIYers with big ambitions and little patience for carburetors. Bonus: if you already have Dewalt tools, you’re halfway there on batteries.

What users rave about:

• Cuts fast and clean, even through hardwood
• Swappable battery with other Dewalt gear
• Starts instantly, runs smoothly

Minor gripes:

• On the expensive side
• Heavier than it looks
