Bought a Dewalt electric chain saw for the wife awhile back. 40V battery operated. Pretty impressed until it locked up tight. Probably around 2 hours run time or less. It is under warranty but the repair center is closed to the public because of COVID. Won’t answer the phone. One place that works on them says he has been waiting almost a year for parts. I used to like Dewalt but will be buying a different brand from now on. Any suggestions?

Even though I am a big Dewalt guy I do think Milwaukee builds a better tool. It would cost me thousands to switch over now. Good luck, Dave

Dewalt is good for some things but not necessarily all things. They are great for battery operated hand tools. I have had no issue with any tools using 20v lithiums and I have built up quite a collection. I think my most useful and favorite is their tire inflator. I have used it for truck tires, lawn mower tires, trailer tires, atv tires, and yard cart tires. I have a greenworks 80v chainsaw and a 40v pole saw. Want to get rid of the 40v pole saw and go 80v with it also just so their batteries are interchangeable. I have not had any issues with either other trying to keep the chains sharp enough. If I could find a battery chainsaw as powerful as a gas, I would never use another gas chainsaw again. Just pop the battery in and pull the trigger.

I had the same problem with a Dewalt weedeater so I went and bought a new one, put the broken one in the box and returned it because it was used. I’ll play their game and I’ll win!

Don’t let the fact the box they come in says made in China deter any of you.

Just went through this with a dewalt miter saw.

Fugg it. Bazterds cannot support their products so I did what AcesNeights did. Why should I be the one suffering if they aren’t able to support their own warranties.

Customer service is at a very low point right now. I'm cautious of where and what I buy even more now than ever. Sometimes good used stuff is better than new too!

I have both Dewalt and Milwaukee 18v tools. We get along ok with the dewalt, but I prefer the Milwaukee. Have an m18 brushless 1/2” impact that is strong enough to change tractor tires with. It’ll do everything our 3/4” air gun will do. We have a dewalt 60v chainsaw that seems to work pretty great.
