        Broke in less than a weeks work
        Broken in less than a weeks work. Internal pin broke and retainer made of plastic. Gear driven tightener failed as well. Chainsaws need metal parts not plastic. The saw cut well and was well balanced. However this thing is a waste of money, as it won’t handle light work.

        Hello, we are sorry to hear about your experience with your M18 FUEL 16in Chainsaw. Our team would like to gain more insight into your experience. Can you please reach out to us at social.media@milwaukeetool.com? Thank you! - Milwaukee Tool Social Team
          Used almost daily
          The hatchet was recommended to me by a friend. I was skeptical I wanted a gas powered chainsaw blah blah blah. Took his word got this and happy I did. My new property needed a bit of maintenance and this saw has put some work in! I burn through a lot of bar chain oil. But other than that no complaints.

            Great unless you want to cut wood.
            Chain came of 13 times while downing and bucking up 3 small tree's. I know it sounds like fun to stop working 13 times to reattach the chain, and if your goal is to not cut wood, it can be. If you are cold during winter because you couldn't collect enough wood, you can always keep active by reattaching this chain over and over.

              Good mid-use Chainsaw
              Pros: Starts every time. No carb to clean. No gas. Quality. Cons: 12ah bat is costly & is known to be a paper weight within a year or 2. 12ah battery = about 2 hrs with med. trees. Does not compare to a gas chainsaw in speed or continuous run time. Can't freely turn the chain to sharpen it. Drinks bar oil very fast. I am a new wood-stove owner, and after this first season cutting with my Milwaukee Chainsaw along side friends with gas chainsaws, I am selling this and moving to gas.

                Bought this to trim some limbs at my Mom’s property. Turns out a tornado broken some larger limbs. This saw is great and handled everything quickly and safely. Highly recommend.

                Versatile Saw
                I use to cut cordwood that I get delivered when I get some pieces that are too long. Also to prune some trees in my yard. Picked up a 14" bar and chain to bring to a hiking trail I frequent and clear some 16" hardwood blocking some culverts. The Hatchet and 14" bar and chain fit in my backpack. I took the bar and chain off while I carried it in my backpack. I picked up the heavier duty battery and everything works well. I do feel like the bar oil will continue to drain even when not in use.

                  Watch what type of oil you use
                  Right out of the box I followed instructions and filled it with “loggers choice” bar and chain oil, held the trigger for a generous 30 seconds and chain was still dry. Held it again for 60 seconds while holding tip and looking for overspray, still dry as a bone. Removed chain and bar and still nothing coming out. Returned to store and exchanged for a new one. Filled with PowerCare brand off shelf at Home Depot and worked great.

                    Super convenient, powerful saw for medium use.
                    Love it. Few years of home use, up to the task every time. Every person I've lent it to wanted to buy one after using it. Onboard wrench storage makes it easy to change or adjust the chain on the fly. The 16" bar gives me ample clearance for any log I should be cutting with a battery powered saw, anything larger I'd use gas. Cut up the neighbors tree pictured on 8amp battery with ease, only overheated a few times. Wish there was a case, it drips a bit of oil from the bottom afterward.

                      Handy Tool
                      This is a handy tool for trimming tree limbs or shrubs. It uses the M-18 battery that fits any of the M-18 series Milwaukee tools. The handle allows one-handed use with another stabilizing handle for awkward positions. The 8 inch bar is sufficient for most limbs, and actually , if a larger bar is needed, it is probably best to get a bigger saw. The chain speed is not as fast as a larger saw, but will trim and prune with ease. It is a perfect tool for small quick jobs !

                      This Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 8 in.

However the best feature to me is...No Heat or Gas Fumes!!
