Frequently asked questions
Who is the Milwaukee 2826-22T built for?
Milwaukee lists the 2826-22T for professional arborists, power utility linemen and landscape maintenance crews. The T in the name marks the top-handle configuration, designed to be worked one-handed from a rope, harness or bucket by trained climbers. It is a working tool for those trades, not a general-purpose homeowner saw.
What bar length does the Milwaukee 2826-22T take?
The Milwaukee 2826-22T is specified with a 35.56 cm bar, and that is both the recommended and the maximum length. There is no longer option: the saw is deliberately capped at a short bar so it stays compact and controllable for one-handed cuts aloft rather than being pressed into felling large trunks.
How powerful is the Milwaukee 2826-22T?
The Milwaukee 2826-22T produces 2.01 kW, or 2.7 hp, from its battery motor. Concentrating that output into a bar capped at 35.56 cm means the chain is well fed for its length, so limbing cuts finish quickly, which matters when the operator is holding position on a rope or in a bucket.
Why is the Milwaukee 2826-22T battery powered rather than petrol?
The Milwaukee 2826-22T runs on a battery, which matters for the trades it targets. There is no exhaust beside an operator working in a canopy or a bucket, nothing to mix or prime, and the saw starts on a trigger pull instead of a cord that is awkward to work while suspended.
Should someone cutting firewood at home buy the Milwaukee 2826-22T?
Probably not. Milwaukee positions the 2826-22T for professional arborists, utility linemen and landscape crews, and its top handle is meant for one-handed use by trained climbers. With the bar capped at 35.56 cm, a rear-handle saw with a longer bar is the sensible tool for bucking firewood on the ground.
