Cordless Chainsaws, Pruning Saws, and Pole Saws
This chainsaws collection runs from one-hand pruning saws to 20-inch bars. Milwaukee offers the M12 FUEL HATCHET 6-inch and M18 FUEL HATCHET 8-inch pruning saws, M18 FUEL top handle saws, a 16-inch rear handle saw, a 20-inch dual battery saw, and a QUIK-LOK pole saw. DeWALT covers 20V MAX compact 8 and 12 inch saws, a 20V MAX XR pole saw, and FLEXVOLT 60V MAX saws up to 20 inches. Makita adds 18V X2 (36V) LXT saws and a 10-inch top handle model.
What to Look For
- Bar length. 6 to 12 inch bars handle pruning and limbing. 16 to 20 inch bars take on felling and bucking firewood.
- Handle style. Top handle saws are for trained arborists working in trees. Rear handle saws are the safer choice on the ground.
- Battery. FLEXVOLT 60V MAX, dual battery M18, and 18V X2 LXT saws draw more power for bigger cuts.
- Reach. Pole saws trim limbs overhead while you stay on the ground.

Chainsaws FAQ
What is a pruning saw like the Milwaukee HATCHET for?
A pruning saw is a small chainsaw with a short bar for limbs, shrubs, and storm cleanup. It is light enough to use with one hand on the ground and runs on the M12 or M18 battery you may already own.
Do I need bar and chain oil for a cordless chainsaw?
Yes. Battery saws still need bar oil to lubricate the chain and bar. Husqvarna X-Guard bar and chain oil is listed in this collection.
