Battery Powered Chainsaw

On a regular chainsaw, open the oil cap and put it back on before storing.  Sometimes that relieves a little pressure.

On pole saws, leaking the oil is a feature.  Pretty sure that across brands.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. Thanks.
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

That guy is the best no BS  no agenda reviewer I've ever seen.  The only drawback I can see is his tests don't account for long term reliability. Rob Robillard is pretty close, but appears to be more connected with some of the manuf. than PF.

Watch some pro user reviews too. His "lab tests" are just the start of the story...

I store all my chainsaws chain down in a 5 gallon bucket.  That way any mess is contained to the chain, bar and the bucket.

Forget the Dewalt. It's related to the Exxon Valdez. No o-ring seals anywhere in the oiler system. Even the fill cap is a plastic to plastic seal. It over oils the bar, slinging oil everywhere. No oiler adjustment on it. And the tank will drip until it's empty.
Other than that, I don't like the saw. Bar is thin and spindly. Battery's don't last long even just trimming small branches.

Yeah...but 3 Amp-hour or 5, 8, or 10???

I'd be surprised if you cut much of anything with a 3 Ah battery...but I'd expect better that what you describe if you used a 10 Ah battery.
