I know this is pretty sissy to some of you guys but the older I am, the sissier I become.
I watched a video review before I bought and the reviewer commented that the bar and chain oil cap was "insanely tight." Now I can't get it off any more. It unscrews about 120° and just stops. Any ideas?

Would it happen to be at that point it should lift off? Give to manufacture a call and talk to them.

We just got a Dewalt with a 16" bar and a Stihl with a 12" bar at work. I like both but prefer ths Stihl. The Dewalt has a week chain adjuster. When cutting small diameter brush it throws the chain quite often. I much prefer either over the larger gas saws we traditionally use. Ear plugs aren't necessary though I wear them anyway, less vibration, and the soft tooth safety chain makes chaps unnecessary  . A charged battery will last 5-6 hours. And that with hard usage. I really like not having to pull start the thing. |

I've been running both for a couple months now. Stihl all the way. Have yet to throw the chain off. When cutting Oak or a harder wood than pine or poplar, about 4" in diameter is about the limit. Have a sharp chain and let the saw do the work. Of course that goes with gas saws too. My partner and I have 250 miles plus of ATV trails to keep up. Lots of brushing, it's never ending. I have run a battery down a couple times, but that's with pretty steady usage. This saw reduces the work load by 50% easy. Easily worth the extra money if you're cutting a lot, especially on uneven ground.
