DeWalt Chainsaw Kits: Genuine Saws vs Battery-Compatible Options

Best for
Serious cutting with genuine DeWalt 60V gear

The Dewalt Saw Chain BRUSHLESS Bare 18IN listing is for the DeWalt DCCS672B, and it is the only full-size genuine DeWalt chainsaw here. The item type identifies it as a DeWalt 60V 18-inch chainsaw sold bare, and the listing credits it with 2.85 horsepower. That makes it the heavy hitter in this group for bucking firewood and clearing fallen trees.

This listing is unusually thin and has errors, so read it carefully. The title begins with “Saw Chain,” which could be confused with a replacement chain, yet the item type and dimensions of roughly 39.5 inches long describe a full saw. The listed weight of 1.5 pounds and a power source of “hand powered” do not fit a 60V chainsaw either. The listing does not specify runtime, chain speed or what battery ships with it; “bare” means no battery and no charger are included.

It is also worth noting that this is a 60V tool, not a DeWalt 20V MAX chainsaw, so it will not run on the 20V packs that the third-party saws below use. Buy it if you need real cutting capacity from genuine DeWalt equipment and have, or plan to buy, a compatible 60V battery. For a smaller genuine option, see our 20V battery chainsaw guide.

Best for
Buyers wanting a complete cheap-to-start kit

The 10 Inch Cordless Chainsaw for DEWALT batteries is made by DOOYUTOOL, not DeWalt. It is sold as a complete kit with a 4.0Ah battery, a charger and a user manual, which makes it the only third-party saw here you can use out of the box. The listing does not say which brand makes the included battery, and it states compatibility with DeWalt 20V MAX packs such as the DCB200, DCB203, DCB205, DCB240 and DCB606.

It has a 10-inch bar and a brushless motor rated at 1000W, with a self-oiling system and a see-through oil tank so you can check levels at a glance. A battery indicator shows remaining charge when you power on, and DOOYUTOOL lists a weight of 4 pounds. The maker offers 12 months of after-sales service.

This suits someone who wants a compact chainsaw for yard trimming and small logs without buying batteries separately. It gives way to the 12-inch SXGSXG for slightly larger cuts, and to the DCCS672B for real log work.

• 10-inch bar with 1000W brushless motor
• 4.0Ah battery and charger included
• Self-oiling with clear oil tank
• Battery level display

Light pruning and one-handed trimming

Best for
DeWalt battery owners wanting a longer mini bar

The 12 Inch Cordless Mini Chainsaw is made by SXGSXG and sold as a bare tool: no battery or charger. It is listed for DeWalt 20V MAX batteries including the DCB200, DCB201, DCB203, DCB204 and DCB206. With a 12-inch chain length, it has the longest bar among the third-party saws here.

SXGSXG lists a 1000W copper brushless motor with overload and overheat protection, an automatic copper oil pump with a 100mL tank, and a manganese steel chain. Two chains come in the box. The dual safety lock requires two buttons to start, which helps prevent accidental startups, and chain tension adjusts without tools using a double-nut design.

The listing calls it lightweight while stating a weight of 12 pounds, which is heavy for a “mini” saw; treat that figure with caution. This saw suits DeWalt 20V owners who want to cut thicker branches than a 6 or 8-inch pruner handles. If you want a genuine DeWalt option around this size, our 12-inch chainsaw guide covers it.

Best for
High branches with genuine DeWalt quality

The Dewalt DCPS620BDCB240C-BNDL 20V MAX XR Brushless bundle is the genuine DeWalt pole saw kit DCPS620, paired with a DeWalt 20V MAX 4Ah battery and charger. It is the one DeWalt-made tool here that runs on 20V MAX packs, and the one to buy for high limbs.

The extension pole gives up to 15 feet of reach, and the 8-inch low-kickback bar and chain handle branches overhead. Auto oiling keeps maintenance low, and a cutting grip with a metal bucking strip and tree hook helps pull away pruned branches. The brushless motor and comfort grip handle round it out. The spec table lists 80 watts and 72 teeth; the wattage figure looks unlikely for a brushless pole saw, so we would not rely on it.

This suits homeowners with overhanging trees who want genuine DeWalt quality and a battery included. The 8-inch bar limits it to branches rather than logs.

• Up to 15 ft reach with extension pole
• 8-inch low-kickback bar and chain
• Auto oiling
• 4Ah battery and charger bundled

The Cordless Mini Chainsaw Compatible with Dewalt batteries is made by DEJUNPIOOL and sold as a tool only. It is listed for DeWalt 20V packs such as the DCB200, DCB203, DCB205, DCB208 and DCB240.

Its twist is a 2-in-1 design with both 6-inch and 8-inch bars, and the package includes two chains of each size. DEJUNPIOOL rates the brushless copper motor at 1200W with a no-load chain speed of 36 feet per second. At 2.7 pounds for the tool, it is the lightest saw here and designed for one-handed pruning. Automatic lubrication, tool-free installation, automatic chain tensioning and a battery level display are included.

This DeWalt mini chainsaw alternative suits gardeners trimming bushes, small branches and storm debris. It is not a log saw; for that, look at the 10 or 12-inch models or the DCCS672B.

Best for
Yard owners wanting saw, pole and pruner

The 4-in-1 Cordless Pole Saw & Electric Pruning Shears set is made by MILBIS, not DeWalt, and ships without a battery. It is listed for DeWalt 20V MAX batteries including the DCB200, DCB203, DCB205, DCB230 and DCB240.

The box includes an 8-inch mini chainsaw, electric pruning shears, an extension pole that telescopes from 4.1 to 8.2 feet for up to 15 feet of reach, a bar cover, a shoulder strap, safety glasses and work gloves. MILBIS lists a brushless saw with 38 feet per second chain speed and automatic lubrication with a primer cap.

This suits yard owners who want one kit for high branches, handheld cutting and hedge-style pruning. It gives way to the genuine DCPS620 if you would rather stick with DeWalt-made tools.
