These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
Milwaukee 2527-20 M12 FUEL HATCHET 6-Inch Pruning Saw (Bare Tool)
Light pruning by someone who already owns M12 batteries
A 4.1-pound M12 pruning saw with a 6-inch bar, an automatic oiler and a 1.7-ounce oil tank. It ships as a bare tool with an Oregon bar and chain, a scabbard and a scrench, so battery, charger and bar oil are separate. Milwaukee's page claims 3-inch hardwood capacity while the manual's table says 5.5 inches.
Published specifications
- Manual: 12V DC, M12 battery and charger, 2,650 RPM, 984 ft/min chain speed
- Manual: 6 in. bar, cutting capacity 5.5 in.; maker page claims 3 in. hardwoods
- Manual: chain oil tank 1.7 oz; automatic oiler, flow not adjustable
- Chain 3/8 in. low profile, .043 in. gauge, 28 links; chain 49-16-2732, bar 49-16-2733
- Included: bare tool with Oregon bar and chain, scabbard and scrench only
- Manual: three-year warranty, original purchaser, prepaid insured return
Strengths
- Light enough for one-handed steadying work, with a fixed automatic oiler
- Maker publishes the exact-model manual, chain size and replacement part numbers
- Scrench stores on the tool and tensioning needs no extra tools
Caveats
- Bare tool: no battery, no charger and no bar oil in the box
- Maker's 3-inch hardwood claim and the manual's 5.5-inch capacity are never reconciled
- No chain brake appears in the manual's parts list or the maker's specs
