“this is a late review as covid 19 problems held up use of the chainsaw and i wanted to give the c,saw a good amount of use. Well i am well pleased with the amount of logs i can cut,with 2 batteries that are a good 2 year old. as far as im concerned a very good buy and if i wanted to use it for a longer period of time then all that is required is 2 spare batteries .”

“Great bit of kit. Does what it is supposed to do and does it well. Great battery life with the 5Ah batteries.”

“Great chainsaw for the money. I was a little worried about getting the larger 16inch bar version but it's perfect for small to medium sized trees. I already had the batteries for it. They felled the whole tree before running out. Great tool and service from power tool world.”

“Bought this as a "chain bow-saw" due to shoulder injury. With batteries installed, still lighter than a small petrol chainsaw. Battery life was adequate for most jobs and has enough torque to chew through very large and stodgy wood (at a cost of batttery life), but clearly not suitable for cutting down or logging large trees. Chain guide has a habit of coming a little slack with prolonged use (or maybe I am wary of overtightening it). Unit does not come with enough chain oil to fill the reservoir. Overall happy with it - does what I need of it. I cannot comment on long-term ownership gripes yet....”

“Excellent tool. Well balanced and reasonably powerful. Not in the same class as my butch old Husqvarna, but fine for most work. (I was cutting logs up to 24 inch in dia.) So much quieter and lighter than the petrol job.”

“I bought the Makita cordless chainsaw to replace my two stroke Stihl. Two main reasons - the first is that with the petrol saw there is so much faffing about every time I want to use it. This includes replacing the chain oil that has leaked everywhere, checking the exactitude of the two stroke mix and holding my breath when i pull the cord to start it in the hope that the plug doesn't need cleaning or replacing or something else I don't know about. The second reason is that I have a number of Makita cordless tools and have been exceptionally impressed by their performance. I also have collected several 18V x 5AMP batteries. The chain saw is fantastic. It took me a couple of hours to do all the work I've been putting off since the winter. This involved one change of batteries. I have to say that this Makita cordless chain saw is powerful enough to do anything I'm likely demand of it. We have a two acre field with two thirds of it a small woodland and the saw will fell and cut wood up to 45cm in diameter. There's no messing about with this machine - just plug in two batteries and go!”
