What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
455 Rancher
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews (Jan 2024), covered the exact 455 Rancher; it names the saw its best professional pick for cutting firewood, praising a low-vibration 55cc engine that 'cuts through firewood like butter,' toolless air-filter access and single-screw chain tensioning. No lab-measured numbers were reported. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Low-vibration 55cc engine cuts firewood easily; Strong value and performance at around $500; Toolless air-filter access and quick single-screw chain tensioning.
FLEXVOLT DCCS670
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, hands-on tested the DeWalt DCCS670. In its 8-saw shootout it placed 4th overall, praised as a fast, well-balanced cutter (5.93s through 8-inch pine) with wide, comfortable handles, but dinged for a side cover that clogs with chips and flimsy plastic bucking spikes. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Fast, well-balanced cutter — one of three saws to break the 6-second mark (5.93s avg) on an 8-inch pine log, 3rd in cutting speed; Wide front and rear handles feel secure in the hand, especially the full-wrap rubber rear grip; Strong feature set: easiest tool-free adjustment, coast-down chain brake, and a glove-friendly quarter-turn oil cap with the best oil-pouring access tested.
Flagged: Enclosed side cover lets chips pile up above the tension knob and clog the saw, spraying chips out the front and impairing visibility; Small plastic bucking spikes weaken leverage on vertical bucking cuts; Idiosyncrasies keep it out of the top tier — ranked 4th of 8 overall.
