re: Anyone have experience with DeWalt’s 40v 16” bar chainsaw?

My old man has older 18v dewalt stuff and it goes much farther than my dinky 20v stuff does. Seems like I can get about 5 cuts from the skill saw before it goes down the tubes. I built a pirouge with dads on 4 charges.

I cut and ripped nearly a dozen 3/4" decking panels for my workshop walls on a single 5Ah battery and that was with swapping it into the sawzall to trim a few studs to frame in the windows. The old 18V stuff, even with the newer Li-ion battery packs for them, only have 3.0Ah unless you get the clunky adapter to use the 20V line batteries. I gave my dad my old 18V XRP drill and driver and my fiancée got my 14.4V XRP kit, the 20V tools are simply better and if I need more than 5.0Ah batteries I can get a bigger 20V version or the 60V ones. There's no way I'd go back to the old stuff, I make money with these tools.

Update: this little thing is phenomenal. I would recommend it to anyone. I bought the weed eater for the extra battery and for obviously using the weed eater. The 7.5ah battery I got about 100 cuts through pin oak and live oak. It cut the oak MUCH better than I thought it would. The 6ah battery didn’t last as long and it was noticeable. I’m glad I got it.
