  • Fantastic tool. I had the most expensive and beloved ...
Fantastic tool. I had the most expensive and beloved Stihl Arborist climbing saw (MS 200T) for 5 years. When it ran, it was great. That was about 25% of the time. Most days I just fought with trying to get it to run at all, using best gas, etc. only to find out finally that they had put a carbuerator on it that simply was flawed, which ended up scoring the piston, losing pressure, hours of research, and they never notified their customers, nor did their dealer notify me on the many trips I made there about it. I don't climb anymore (and only ever did for my personal usage) so got this Makita. Wow was I surprised. The chain is a low kickback, that stays sharp much longer than full chisel designs and I cut 12-14" pines into pieces 15 inch lengths for about 6 hours the first Saturday, and it didn't even need sharpening, continuing throughout to send shreaded chips out, rather than the more dusty material all chains do when they become dull. If you have plenty of experience with Kickback - here's another great surprise.The Oregon chain 91VXL056G professional. You simply won't believe how aggressive this saw becomes, and it's a semi chisel chain design that stays sharp through a lot of lumber. (Only good for cross cuts, not planking) But you do need to go to youtube and study Kickback first, because you aren't going to get any kickback experience with the chain that comes with the saw. (Quite adequate for most work and safer.) Kickback can leave you bleeding to death, or knock you out of a tree, or off a ladder, so take this advice VERY seriously, and never put your head in the line of Kickback to "see better, or push the saw." But if you've STUDIED, are smart, and careful - with a lot of big trees to whittle down, this saw will do it and make you happy in every way. It's light, strong, and gas free. You can also run with a generator. Be smart with extension cords. They have to be REALLY GOOD ONES. (preferably #10 wire for 100ft and #12 for 50 ft but #10 is always better.) Interior design has a problem with oiling. The hole in the bar that fits right over the hole where the oil comes out gets clogged within cuttinging dust in minutes, so chain runs dry. (This is BAD.) You can help this problem a LOT by simply putting a piece of tape over the whole in the bar that allows the dust IN to the oil hole. (The oil can still run up through the slot in the bar to the chain.) The factory should only drill out ONE SIDE of the bar to fix this problem. Makita technical phone help is good, as is their turnaround (2 days) on fixing. The tube inside the oiler came off of mine, and oil was pouring out of bottom when running. I'd tried to make sure the oiler wasn't clogged by forcing compressed air in before I understood what the problem was and probably blew it off it's seat from backpressure. They paid for shipping anyway, and even gave me a new bar due to wear from running the chain too dry. Nothing is perfect, but this is a beautiful tool you'll come to love and depend on. It starts every time. If you push it too hard as chain is dulling - it shuts itself off, but restarts within seconds with the next pull of the trigger, and it's overall build quality is wonderful. Do yourself a big favor - skip the damn gas saws if you possibly can. The cord is no problem at all unless you're high in a tree. And if you use the more aggressive chains, remember when you're cutting a big horizontal log on the ground - when you release that last little bit and the cut end drops - it often falls back against the other side of the cut - which PINCHES the chain and shoves the saw back HARD against you.This can come as a very big surprise and easily knock you over, or send you down a ravine, or worse. When "Limbing" a fallen tree on the ground, cuttting with the TIP can send the saw back towards your face very rapidly so use this convenien Tip cutting with special attention and visibility. DON'T let the TIP touch a branch further INSIDE, or hit it quickly as another "bar" cut quickly passes through the limb. And NEVER have your head in the PATH of a vertical Kickback so you can SEE inside the cut as the saw works. YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE INSIDE THE CUT! Keep your head out of the way. Stay off of ladders if at all possible, or hand cut saws with extension poles for that. Enjoy, but be smart. These thing can kill you, and having been a paramedic in college - eveyone whose hurt always wants to tell you ... "I was just ... ... show more

  • why did I wait so long???
this is an awesome tool! I have a good well-maintained stihl saw but I don't use it all that much so its very reluctant to get going & stay going...so when faced with the large project of bucking up into 16" long chunks for stovewood the manageable parts 4" to 14" diam of 2 enormous trees left behind by request by the tree service I decided it was finally time to go electric...I was initially wary about power & did a huge amount of research & reviewing...this makita can draw 14.5 amps & is astounding...cutting through everything with ease...unlike many of the electric saws available the makita has an inline design motor which vastly improves balance & maneuverability...I have experienced absolutely no cons about this tool at all...I have other makita tools that have endured rigorous professional use & I'm hoping that this one continues to maintain their reputation for quality & durability. getting electricity to the saw: I already had industrial extension cords...at the initial use site I was able to use a 50' 10 gauge cord without issue as expected...next site was a bit further away & I had to use a 100' 10 gauge cord...again no problem...the saw ran perfectly...the last site was further still I was wondering if I would have to coax the stihl into life...but I hooked up the makita with the 2 10 gauge cords now at 150' & much to my surprise I could discern no decrease in capability or overheating of the motor...bottom line...ya gotta have 10 gauge cords! thanks makita for a great tool!!! ... show more

  • Execelent Unit, Quality build. The last Chain saw you will ever buy.
I was on the fence about buying this unit versus the Oregon or Greenworks corded chainsaws. Good thing I went with my gut. It's a Makita! Opening the box and pulling out the unit, the first impression was oh yeah, this is going to last me and do what I want it to do. it's size feel and weight gives you an idea of the quality it's made of. Putting it together, was a breeze. No tools needed what so ever. Everything the chain touches is metal. Anything plastic, is made of high quality flexible plastic. The chain tension-er, while attached to the plastic grade, is all metal, and work very well. imagine being able t tighten the chain with out tools. Once assembled and plugged in, the unit has a soft start and stop, which is good as that prolongs the life of all the mechanical parts. I was initially concerned if an electric chainsaw could perform as well as my gas powered chainsaw, but now that I have seen the build quality of this unit, I'm confident that I will never need my gas powered chainsaw again which makes me happy, because I have come to loath 2 Cycle gas engines. Loud, smelly, hard to start after being on the shelf a long time. I am happy knowing that anytime I need a chainsaw from now on, I have one on the shelf always ready to plug in, pull the trigger and go at it. ... show more

  • Very Strong! Easy operation!
Don’t hesitate to try this corded chainsaw. It’s remarkably powerful, durable and trouble free. *Note the power demands and make sure that your outlet can provide the power needed. It really is a great tool without the motor starting hassle, noise and hot exhaust gasses at the point of use. *Important Edit: My outdoor power outlets will no longer properly support the electrical demands needed. I rented a battery powered chainsaw and it worked very-well. Motor technology has matured and there’s no reason to be tied to a cord or fuel. ... show more

  • A real nice saw
As others have said, this is no toy. You can feel the quality in the design and construction: it's well balanced, good power, and it inspires confidence while using it. It doesn't have the power of a large gas saw, but it could easily replace 95% of my tree work without the hassle of having another engine to care for. The Oregon bar and chain are good quality and cut well, and the chain brake and running brake work well and are effective as safety devices. I also like the oiling system. The output of the oil pump can be set with an adjustment screw in the bottom, and it doesn't leak oil like every other saw does. You can shut the oil delivery completely off for long-term storage. I like this saw so much that I feel foolish for not buying a better saw sooner. For the money, I feel that this is a very good value. I plan on buying an 18" bar and chain as a second set, along with a nice chainsaw bag at some point. ... show more

  • Just buy it
I bought this saw to cut down four very large holly trees. The base of one of these trees was 12” across. This saw cut off all the branches, cut down the trees and bucked all the trunks into logs and didn’t blink. Ample power and never once bogged down. I have a lot of top quality tools and this one is a standout. I would give it six stars if possible. So much easier to use than a gas saw and so much quieter. The tool oozes quality. I am SO GLAD I bought this over one of the cheaper options. ... show more

  • The best corded electric chainsaw, hands-down. My old gas saw is now just gathering dust in the garage.
Great! Yes, it is corded, and that does cut down a little on how freely you can swing it around, but - once you have replaced the stock chain with a really good one (the chain that comes with it is, presumably for the safety of beginners, a step back from razor-sharp) this thing will tear through wood almost as well as a similarly sized gas-powered saw. But the real, massive advantage is that after three months of not being used, this thing still starts up instantly - whereas with my old gas saw it could take me a good half hour of emptying out the old fuel, finding a safe place to dispose of it, mixing a new batch, and then yanking the starter cord 20+ times before it finally sputtered to life. All you gas-powered owners who use your saw only three or fours times a year know EXACTLY what I am talking about. This electric saw's ease of maintenance is game-changing, and if that means maybe 5% less total power - taking two seconds longer to make a 6" cut - I will make that trade-off in a second. Another huge advantage is when you are high up in a tree, not having to challenge your potentially precarious balance by needing to pull the starter cord multiple times. And re: the question of corded-electric vs. battery-powered saws: yes, not having to run an extension cord 100' to where you are working is probably nice. But all else being equal, you will get a good bit more power from a corded saw, and you'll never have to stop working for an hour in the middle of a chore to recharge your battery. Plus battery-powered saws are significantly heavier. Finally, there are cheaper corded electric saws out there, but I shopped around a lot, and read a ton of reviews. Anyone who knows tools will tell you, you get what you pay for. In the long term going for quality always pays off. ... show more
