My Personal Experience

You see, I’m a person who loves to keep their yard pristine. It gives me a sense of fulfillment, and let’s be honest, it’s a great way to keep fit. One essential tool in my yard work arsenal is the chainsaw. And when it comes to chainsaws, the DCCS672B 60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 18 in. Chainsaw holds a special place in my heart.

The first time I held the DCCS672B, I could immediately feel its balanced weight distribution. It didn’t feel heavy or unwieldy, which was a big relief. Over the years, I’ve dealt with chainsaws that would give me a muscle ache within minutes of usage, but the DCCS672B was different—it felt comfortable and balanced.

It’s one thing to feel good in the hand, but what about the performance? Well, let’s just say it didn’t disappoint. I had an old maple tree stump in my yard that I’d been meaning to get rid of, and I decided to put the DCCS672B to the test.

The chainsaw cut through that stump as if it were a hot knife slicing through butter—smooth and effortless. The power was evident from the get-go, and the way it operated silently was a pleasant surprise. The days of waking up in the entire neighborhood with my noisy gas chainsaw were a thing of the past!

What sets the DCCS672B apart for me is its convenience. The tool-free chain tensioning and bar tightening knob make adjustments on the go a breeze, saving me a lot of time and frustration. Additionally, the automatic oiling system ensures continuous lubrication, which enhances the lifespan of the chainsaw and maintains optimal performance.

But, it wasn’t all perfect. The chainsaw didn’t come with a battery and charger, which meant I had to shell out a few extra bucks. But given that I could use the same battery across other DEWALT 60V tools, it felt more like an investment that would pay off in the long run.

In short, the DCCS672B 60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 18 in. Chainsaw has not just been a tool for me—it’s been a reliable companion that makes my yard work more enjoyable and efficient.

Innovative Design

Where this chainsaw really stands out is in its design choices. Its tool-free chain tensioning and bar tightening knob allows for proper bar clamping force, a feature that saves you precious time and energy in the field. The ergonomic design and well-balanced weight distribution of the DCCS672B result in reduced user fatigue—a godsend for those extensive wood-cutting sessions.

Comparing the Competition

When stacked against rivals, such as the Husqvarna 120i or EGO Power+ CS1604, the DCCS672B holds its ground firmly. While the competitors offer similar cutting power, the battery longevity and user-friendly features of the DCCS672B are hard to surpass. Plus, the automatic oiling system ensures continuous lubrication, enhancing the chainsaw’s longevity—a feature missing in some counterparts.

Pros and Cons

Like any tool, the DCCS672B has its pros and cons. On the plus side, the chainsaw offers powerful performance, ease of use, less maintenance, and excellent battery life. The brushless motor ensures an efficient, quieter operation—a big plus for noise-sensitive neighborhoods.

On the downside, the chainsaw comes without a battery and charger—you’ll need to purchase those separately. However, if you already own other DEWALT 60V tools, you can use those batteries interchangeably—a perk in the long run.
