EGO CS1804

What works

  • 18-inch bar — longest mainstream cordless option, handles larger-diameter logs
  • 56V dedicated OPE platform — optimized for high-demand cutting tools
  • ~300 cuts per charge on 5Ah — excellent standalone runtime value

What doesn't

  • EGO 56V is a separate platform — doesn't share batteries with other tools if you're on M18 or 20V
  • Heavier than Milwaukee with large battery

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2727

What works

  • M18 battery compatibility — integrates smoothly with existing M18 tool collection
  • Milwaukee M18 FUEL motor durability and 5-year warranty
  • 16-inch bar is more maneuverable for limbing and brush work

What doesn't

  • 16-inch bar limits single-pass capacity on larger logs
  • M18's lower voltage ceiling limits top-end cutting speed vs EGO 56V

Bottom line

Our pick: EGO CS1804.
