Best electric cordless chain saw for trail clearing? ***DeWalt Flexvolt 60V Max 16 inch or Greenworks Pro 80V 18 inch***

Friends have pretty much every cordless tool brand among them they all work good with varying levels of torque depending on voltage and ah battery size. The tool-less chain adjusters seem to be more trouble than there worth still work but you have to be a little more careful of angles or the chain comes off. I've been waiting for DeWalt to come out with a new 60v one that uses studs and nuts for the bar which will be out this spring. specs look pretty good on paper so I'll wait and see. I already have a lot of DeWalt cordless tools and batteries so makes sense to stick with DeWalt or just keep using my Stihl saws

Curious to those who carry a chain saw…how much use to you get out of it while overlanding?

Since we now have a "fire season" out here in the west, I'm realizing having a chainsaw to clear roads and trails will become somewhat regular. Last trip I went on, there was a lot of clearing needed and I didn't have a chainsaw. Fortunately the 2 other guys did. I have a hand-saw for cutting small branches, and a hatchet, but was thinking if I was caught out and needed to evacuate I don't want to be hand sawing a fallen branch from a previous fire while trying to escape.

I'm looking at getting a 14" Makita since I already have batteries for other tools I use.

Does it matter if it's a rear hand, or top hand? Besides hand position, is there a difference?
