Dewalt Chainsaw Pruning CRDLS 20V 8IN DCCS623B

I love this little chainsaw. I've been looking at them at my local big box and small hardware stored for about a year but the prices were beyond my reach. I don't have large amount of land, but what I do have is about a third wooded, mostly with HUGE oak trees. I have an 18" Oregon chainsaw so that if and when one of those falls it handles it easily. It is, however, big and heavy. Tiny acorns sprout into new oak trees and it's a yearly battle trying to keep up with them, made even more of a pain by the size and weight of the big chainsaw or the tediousness of a hand pruning saw. I tried a reciprocating saw with a good pruning blade and it worked but was still too slow, I already have several DeWalt 20c batteries (original and after-market) so getting the bare tool was a no-brainer. It's perfect for my needs - it blasts through anything up to 7" in diameter and beyond that I'd use the big saw anyway. This one is less than half the weight of the big saw, even with a 6Ah battery, which balances it perfectly. Also, I can't say enough about the seller Toolup of Las Vegas, NV. They shipped my saw, brand-new in the box, the same day I ordered it and it arrived on the specified day, at a great price. Here's a couple of tips. Spend some extra and get the DeWalt biodegradable bar and chain oil. It's what they recommend, will help prevent seal damage and subsequent leakage and, since you should dump any remainder after each use, there are no disposal issues. Next, while the Dewalt chain that comes with the saw is fine, get an Oregon 8" R34. It's a little more aggressive and will make all cutting go a tad faster. Finally, consider getting one or more 16 oz. squeeze bottles for the oil, the kind they use at some restaurants and many people use for cookouts. They allow for precise, no-mess oil-filling. I got two, because this saw and the big one take different types of oil, and it works like a charm.

Whoa... This thing is a demon! (In the best way, of course). Cut through some good size tree limbs like butter. Just the right size to be easy to handle and not too heavy. Can't go wrong with the DeWalt brand. Góod purchase. Well worth the money.

I bought this saw to handle small to medium sized trees and branches on a piece of property I bought up in the mountains. I could not have had a better tool on me to get the job done. The battery life is fantastic lasting me through an entire weekend of cutting underbrush, branches, and small trees on a single battery/charge. This saw is worth every penny and is a workhorse. I've had no issues with the saw and have used it for many weekends already and I have yet to have to sharpen it. The blade that comes stock is highly durable and has remained sharp with proper use. This saw adds the perfect combination of comfortability in your hands with good length and reach. I have yet to find a situation that it has had issue with. Definitely a must have for property owners who need a tool much lighter than a chainsaw that can last all day for all of that pesky underbrush and small trees that a chainsaw is just simply not practical for.

Real pleased with this little guy for bush sized trimming and some backyard tree limbs up to 5 or 6 inches. Very light and easily handled with one hand. It worked great with my existing Dewalt 20V batteries. No bar chain oil leakage and seemed to have plenty of power for the small yard jobs. In the end I returned and replaced it with the DeWalt 12 inch battery chain saw to handle those slightly larger 8-9 inch tree limbs that are prevalent on my property. It has the same high quality attributes as this model.

Many of the bad reviews complain of oil leaking. That is because those reviewers are storing the tool in the wrong orientation. Instructions say to drain oil after every use, but if you leave the oil in and store it flat and horizontal, with the oil filler cap up, there is no leaking. In other respects, it does what it's designed to do. Not super powerful but adequate for its intended purpose, and very easy to use.

This is the most awesome pruner. Have cut up 2 cords of 6 inch and smaller 16 in lengths. Wont be buying fire wood for years after talking down 2 big dead maples. I use with a 60v flex dewalt battery and it lasts more than a day of constant use. Way better than the sawzall I have. Wood for fireplace and scrap branches for solo stove with pine there. Absolutely best tool.

I’m not sure how I managed before I had this. I have a lot of trees and something is always needing to be pruned or cut up after it falls on the ground. I had a big branch come down after the last wind storm, so I ordered this. Works fantastic and the battery lasts a long time. It made much quicker work of the limb than anything else that I have. Highly recommend.

Works very well. I cut a full 30+ (tall and wide) foots tree down (in pieces). Down to the Trunk with it. It tarted as a trim but tree was affecting plumbing, so I decided it had to go. Cost time, but saved $1,800. It muscled through it like a champ (with two batteries)

Muy buena experiencia al cortar con esta motosierra. Yo ya contaba con la batería (de otras herramientas Dewalt). Realicé mi trabajo super rápido. La volvería a comprar

This is a great little saw. It works on decent size branches when pruning trees. I very solid piece of equipment.

La regrese porque no trae cargador, sabia de la pila, pero es confusa la descripción. No quise gastar otros 1,500 en un cargador. La pila la pude regresar.

Cette petite scie est légère, facile à utiliser et coupe des arbres jusqu’à 6 pouces de diamètres sans difficulté. Sa charge dure plusieurs heures. Très bon outil, mon mari en a plusieurs grosses à gaz et il préfère la mienne. On en a acheté une deuxième!

Big DEWALT fan. Ask my wife, the shop is filled with DEWALT tools. This one i really looked for yard work and occasional small wood to be cut. I may or may not have taken the guard off the tip. I know some comment if it stops mid cut. 99% of the time that’s to save you from getting hurt. Chain can be easily replaced. Runs well, comfortable, get the job done. I cut up some old docks we were removing for the lake clean up and it did it really well. Ended up in the lake (slip and fall in the lake on an old dock), cleaned and lubed with electrical cleaner and cuts and runs like new.
