I have a Stihl and couldn't be happier. I have made a living with gas saws for 40+ years. Zipping oak is no problem as long as you keep it sharp. I actually find using it enjoyable.
Another very good and useful tool that I have is the Ryobi extendable pole saw. 8”, 18 volts batteries. It is great for trimming higher limbs and reaches out really far and cuts big limbs well.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
I got the Milwaukee. It's a beast! I have several other 18V Milwaukee tools that use the same battery, that's the main reason I went with the brand, but I'm very happy with it.
I started to get me one. But as far as know every phugin one of them is made in china. Phug them bastards... I’ll cut my wood with a pocket knife before I send my money to em.
I got my Dad a Ryobi 40v a couple years ago. It's become our go to for running around keeping the trails cleared off. Got the polesaw, weedeater, and leaf blower since.

My 18V Ryobi is the only one of their tools I do not like. It doesn't have enough velocity. When trying to cut small flexible limbs, it has a tendency to bounce.

What diameter logs can you cut with it.
Could you cut a 1/2 a pickup bed full with one charge?
I have the 18volt Milwaukee Chainsaw, polesaw, and their little 12 volt chainsaw. I love them all the 18 volt chainsaw is great cuts up a pile of firewood in no time. Awesome for camping. The little 12 volt is probably more impressive than the 18 volt just because of how much wood you can actually cut with it for a tiny package.
I've got the fuel pole saw. My understanding is their chainsaw is very similar in bar length and power. As higginez says it does leak oil but its a beast for power and battery life.
It doesn't leak. What both of you are experiencing is drain back from the bar and chain, All saws will do this if they are providing enough oil to the bar and chain. If you aren't getting drain back you ain't getting enough oil on your chain.
The solution is simple, fold a rag and lay it under the saw.
And yes The Fuel is an incredible saw, I no longer have any gas saws, I also do not heat with wood anymore or I would have gas saws.

Bought the 60v DeWalt 16" and it's a beast I'm here to tell you. Plenty of power to rip through anything I've thrown at it so far. Drinks oil fast so you have to keep an eye on that. I also recommend getting 2 other batteries. Takes 30 min to get a full charge and the battery lasts about 45 min with constant use. Great limb saw....
