DeWalt DCCS677Z1 60V MAX Brushless 20 in. Chainsaw 15.0Ah Kit w/ Spare Chain

The DeWalt DCCS677Z1 60V MAX Brushless 20-Inch Chainsaw Kit is DeWalt's most capable cordless chainsaw — a 20-inch bar, 15.0Ah FLEXVOLT battery, and a spare chain included in one complete package. Built for serious timber work, storm cleanup, and all-day cutting sessions where runtime and bar length matter. Model Number: DCCS677Z1.

The 60V MAX FLEXVOLT platform delivers the power needed to drive a 20-inch bar through hardwood and large-diameter logs without bogging. The 15.0Ah battery is one of the highest-capacity packs available in the cordless chainsaw category — designed for extended runtime on demanding cuts. The included spare chain means you can keep cutting when the primary chain dulls, without stopping to source a replacement.

This is the right saw for property owners with large timber, professional tree service crews who want a gas-free option for specific applications, and contractors who already run the FLEXVOLT platform and want a chainsaw that matches the power of their other 60V tools.

Large Timber Felling & Log Bucking

The 20-inch bar handles logs and timber that a 16-inch saw can't reach in a single pass. For property owners clearing large trees, bucking firewood from mature hardwoods, or managing storm-downed timber, the DCCS677Z1 delivers the bar length and battery capacity to get through serious cutting sessions without stopping.

Professional Tree Service & Storm Cleanup

Tree service crews use the 60V MAX platform for applications where gas is impractical — residential neighborhoods, noise-sensitive areas, and jobs where instant starts and zero exhaust matter. The 15.0Ah battery and spare chain mean the saw stays productive through a full work session.

All-Day Property Maintenance on Large Acreage

For rural property owners with significant tree work — clearing fence lines, managing woodlots, processing firewood — the 15.0Ah battery provides the runtime needed for extended sessions. The spare chain keeps you cutting when the primary chain dulls mid-job.

FLEXVOLT Platform Users Upgrading to Maximum Bar Length

Contractors and tradespeople already running DeWalt FLEXVOLT tools can add this chainsaw to their battery ecosystem without investing in a new platform. The 15.0Ah battery also works across other 60V MAX and 20V MAX FLEXVOLT tools.

DeWalt DCCS677Z1 vs. Milwaukee 2827-22 M18 FUEL 20" Dual Battery Chainsaw

The Milwaukee 2827-22 runs on dual M18 batteries for combined power on a 20-inch bar. The DeWalt DCCS677Z1 runs on a single 60V MAX 15.0Ah FLEXVOLT battery — simpler battery management, one pack to charge. Both are professional-grade 20-inch cordless chainsaws. Choose based on which battery platform you're already invested in.

DeWalt DCCS677Z1 vs. DeWalt DCCS677Y1 (12.0Ah Kit)

The DCCS677Y1 includes a 12.0Ah battery at a lower price point. The DCCS677Z1 includes the 15.0Ah battery and a spare chain — more runtime and immediate backup cutting capability. If you're doing extended sessions or professional work, the Z1 kit is the better value.

DeWalt 60V MAX Cordless vs. Gas Chainsaw (20-Inch Class)

A 20-inch gas chainsaw requires fuel mixing, pull-start maintenance, carburetor service, and produces exhaust. The DCCS677Z1 starts instantly, runs clean, and requires no fuel management. For most property maintenance and tree service applications, the cordless advantage outweighs the gas runtime edge.
