I want to sell my stihl ms 170 and get either the new makita or dewalt chainsaw I have plenty of each battery so that’s not a deciding factor just want the one with the most power any help
Depending on the when you need it there could be a difference. I don’t thing the FlexVolt chainsaw is shipping yet.
MAKITA! That thing is a beast dude

Flip a coin, but makita is more powerful and likely has more run time.

Same here, I’m just hoping they have a kit so I don’t have to go buy batteries separately.

They do.
They say the x2 is more powerful yet the flexvolt wont be released until April 1st. The flexvolt should be a bit more efficient since it has higher voltage and possibly a bit more powerful but we cant really say until it has been tested.

That’s great, $389 for a kit with a dual port charger and two 5.0 batteries, bare tool is $279. Even if I had a bunch of batteries I’d probably spend the extra $110 because you can’t get a single 5.0 for that cheap let alone two of them.

Found a video of the Flexvolt trimmer and blower vs the m18 versions. Power wise the guy says the Flexvolt was better.

milwaukee stuff seems to be mediocre, egos the way to go
I love my 18v x2 Makita chainsaw. Battery life is awesome, you would never know it’s not brushless. Weight and balance are also surprisingly good. Would recommend highly!
