Cordless chainsaws... (help!!)

[DinkyDau]

I bought one of the Kobalt 40v pole saws, love it. I also bought the string trimmer, edger and the blower. Going to sell all of my gas powered stuff. Went Kobalt for the 10% military discount

I ended up ordering a Dewalt 20V tool only to use w/ the batteries that I already have and will order a bigger one later if needed. I do have several gas saws if I really need them...

I have the smaller DeWalt chainsaw and it's been more than enough for what I need. Small trees, large fallen branches, or cutting up firewood. I wouldn't bother trying to use any batteries less than 5ah though, as they won't last very long.

First off, I am NOT a serious lumberjack or pulp wooder, but I need a small chainsaw for cutting up limbs and small trees. I despise pulling on a cord to start a machine. And am limited by the weight I am comfortable swinging around w/ a moving blade w/ my current health issue (a completely different problem). So, I am looking at cordless chainsaws. I am leaning towards the EGO POWER+ 56-volt 18-in Brushless 5 Ah (Battery and Charger Included), primarily because Lowes has it in stock and available today. But am also considering the Kobalt 80-Volt Max 18-in Brushless 5 Ah (Battery & Charger Included); but not available until Monday. Although I have a buddy w/ a used one he is willing to sell at an unknown price. Have looked at Dewalt and Stihl as well, But narrowing it down to something that is local and available before this weekend. I am having a heart catheter next week and want to get as much done before that as possible.

So, should I stick w/ the bigger name brands or go for bigger power? The prices are comparable between the two above saws. BUT, I do have other Dewalt tools, but only 20V batteries. So should I stick w/ Dewalt to have the extra (but small) batteries as backup? Others to consider? What says this brain trust?

I’ve been using an EGO 14”, 16”, a blower, and a weed eater for about 3 years and you couldn’t give me anything that make noise and eats gas now. You can’t kill the damn things. I’ve got five batteries I’ve had since I bought the saws and I can’t kill them either. Don’t let anybody sell you one of their lawnmowers because they’re a brick when they break down but the other tools are great.
