  • The Dewalt DCM 565 is a 18v cordless chainsaw that has a brushless motor, it also has an automatic lubricator- like most chainsaws. This chainsaw is really easy to use and is safe and very quiet, when compared to a petrol chainsaw. Cutting logs or branches is a piece of cake with the DCM 565. In the video I show how many logs it can cut from a single 5AH battery charge. If you are going to be using this chainsaw for prolonged periods of time, you will need several batteries!

    Apologies for the lack of uploads! I’ve been busy working on site, then one of the huge trees blew over in a storm. It’ll be months before I get the other garage rebuilt, so I have very limited room in my other garage. If anyone has ever dealt with an insurance company, you can imagine how annoying and time consuming the whole process is! I hope everyone has a great Sunday 😉

    Sorry to hear about the damage caused . I've got the same saw . Its very handy . I bought it when a friend was quoted £650 to take down a dangerously leaning tree . The pair of us spent a day together . Me cutting , he fetching and carrying . It's a lightweight tool , we ran it on 5ah batteries . It spurts out a fair amount of oil . Easy to dismantle and clean . My friend paid me £275 so got the tool for free

      I forgot to mention about the amount of oil that it uses! It’s really noticeable when compared to a Stihl chainsaw, as the saw dust is much drier and contains much less oil!
      I like jobs like that, where I get the tool for free 👍

    Great chainsaw, and great to have a new video, was just wondering how you were doing. I hope your insurance company gets things sorted. I had to make a claim a few years ago for a damaged garden wall. The concept of time or deadlines is non-existant with them, had to phone again and again for months to chase them on their progress. Looks like some nice timber anyway!

    • @ultimatehandyman

      Thanks, the insurance company have been difficult to deal with. I’m just hoping they get a move on soon, as it’s holding up my next door neighbour, as the garages are adjoined.

      Hi Neil, Yeah, that poor squirrel must have needed a new pair of underpants after the tree fell. Most of the wood has gone to friends with wood burners, the larger stuff is going to the wood carver, who is cutting up the tree 👍

      @ultimatehandyman  Před měsícem

      Yeah, it was such a shame. The tree is probably 300+ years old, but the sodden ground due to the vast amount of rain and the high winds just blew it over. The insurance claim is still ongoing, I’ll be glad once it’s all sorted!

    What happens when the oil gets low? Does it stop?

    • @ultimatehandyman
      @ultimatehandyman  Před měsícem

      No, I should have mentioned in the video, that I check the oil level each time I swap batteries. If it is run with no oil, it can damage the chain and bar- it will probably start burning first, due to the friction!

      @@H4rleyBoy It’s mainly the insurance company! Originally, they told me to get a tree surgeon out to make the tree safe around the garage and conservatory, so I phoned a tree surgeon, who attended quickly and removed the dangerous bits. The surveyor turned up a few weeks later, then said he could not survey the damage as the rest of the tree was in the way of the patio, so I had to get most of the tree cut up, then it took another couple of weeks for the surveyor.
      I must have asked 4 builders, only one of them gave me a rough cost for the price of rebuilding the garage, the others either were not interested or did not turn up. The conservatory part of the claim has been settled!
      Yesterday the insurance made an offer for the garage, patio area (which is smashed badly) and the railings. To replace the railings you are looking at £3500, yet the offer for the garage, patio and railings, would only just meet the lowest price of just rebuilding the garage- the only quote I could get. I have rejected the offer and asked them to send out their approved tradesmen to sort everything out 😉

    Those saws are a piece of shite. Got one exactly the same and it ran for about 20 to 25 minutes and it stopped altogether. Nightmare getting Dewalt to fix it. Was not worth the hassle. When looking on line how to fix it i saw loads of posts of people with the same problem. Very unreliable product.
