Dewalt announced its new 60V Max chainsaw. The chainsaw has a brushless motor and lacks the engine maintenance required of a gas-powered instrument. The 16-inch Oregon bar and chain uses auto-oiling for continuous lubrication. The chainsaw is part of Dewalt’s Flexvolt system, so the same batteries that power Flexvolt outdoor power equipment will also work with Flexvolt power tools. dewalt.com
Kebony announced the North American launch of Kebony Clear. The decking and cladding line is treated with a bio-based liquid that, once cured, will make the wood cells 50% thicker and will make the wood harder, according to the company. Made from Monterey pine, the wood is initially brown, though Kebony says that exposure to the elements will give the wood a silver-gray patina. kebony.com/us
