This thing is top notch
I want to start by saying I've not purchased one of these neather do I own one. I barrowed one from a nearby friend in kinda an emergency situation. I winter camp all winter long, I've got 2 chainsaws that I normally bring but 1 died early season and the other yesterday. My stove can handle up to 19in wood but my wood guy dropped off 22in wood I was away. Long story short, this thing cut down a half cord of wood on 3 batteries. Like I said, I don't yet own one but I'm fixing to just for anymore unseen events in the future. It's dark not but I'll probably edit this tomorrow with a few pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Because Lumberjacks Need Naps Too!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the Milwaukee 2527-20 M12 FUEL HATCHET - the cordless pruning saw that's so fabulous, it makes Paul Bunyan look like a lumbering amateur! If you're the kind of person who's ever looked at a tree branch and thought, "You're toast," then this saw is your new best friend. It's a game-changer, a tree-tamer, and it'll make you feel like a lumberjack with an executive assistant.

First things first, the ease of use. This saw practically begs to be used with just one hand. It's like it knows you're a multitasking genius who needs a free hand for other lumberjack-like activities, such as sipping on your artisanal coffee or taking a selfie with the vanquished branches. The one-handed operation is so smooth that it'll make you wonder why you ever struggled with two-handed saws.

Now, let's talk about the cutting power. It's like this little hatchet has been blessed by the tree gods themselves. Branches that used to put up a fight are now sliced through like a hot knife through butter. It's almost like the saw is saying, "Hold my battery, I got this." Whether it's thick branches or thin twigs, this saw makes them all submit to its will.

And don't get me started on the cordless convenience. No more fumbling with extension cords or searching for power outlets in the middle of the forest. With this hatchet in hand, you're like a ninja in the wilderness, silently and effortlessly conquering the arboreal world.

In conclusion, the Milwaukee 2527-20 M12 FUEL HATCHET is not just a tool; it's a revelation. It's so amazing that it might just convince you to start a new career as a lumberjack, or at least give you some serious bragging rights among your friends. So, if you want a pruning saw that's easier to handle than a butter knife at a pancake breakfast, don't hesitate to add this hatchet to your toolkit. It's a must-have for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life, like beautifully pruned branches and the satisfaction of a job well done. Get one, and let the tree-taming adventures begin!

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s powerful and fast. A bit of an investment initially.
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
I do tree pruning and removal every day. I had low expectations and honestly just wanted something comparable to my silky handsaw. No matter how good a handsaw is it still requires you to put in effort. This m12 hatchet is not only effortless but also well made and has almost as much power as a small gas saw. It feels so much easier on me to reach for this saw, check battery and go to work. Versus lifting a gas saw and then trying to start it. They’re good but after some time they develop fuel issues that lead to no start/shutting off randomly.

You will need 4.0 battery or more to really get some decent run time but 2.0 will work for a very limited time. After a week of use I’m buying 2 of the m12 5.0 high output batteries. Should get me through most of the day or about 5 or 6 pruning jobs cutting small limbs and 3in to 4in limbs.

The cons i can think of with this saw is that there’s no intelligent system that detects kickback. Not that it’s much of an issue with this saw but I think if you’re not going to have a chain brake at least have some kind of safety that gets triggered by inertia. Also be careful or just don’t cut with the top of the bar. The saw bar is just not long enough to perform well that way. It will jump around, leave a bad cut and increase kickback chances. Remember this thing cut through wood, it will hurt you badly. Keep your distance.

Had to remove over 40' of hedge growth climbing a block wall. Recip saw catches branches and they flex back and forth with the blade-- useless. Hand held pruners-- impossible. This small chain saw made the job easy. The automatic oiling system is a must. Protects chain and bar and keeps everything clean. Can use with left or right hand. Nice chain tensioning system. Had a couple of other M12 tools already so this fit right in. Highly recommended.
