Impressive Little Chainsaw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
Review Image by W. Mitchell
Review Image by W. Mitchell
I was looking for a small chainsaw to use around the house and on small projects. I had an old Poulan Pro but it has seen better days. I'm slowly converting many of my gas tools over to electric so that's where I started. I have a number of Ryobi One tools and really like them so that was where I started looking. The reviews for the Ryobi showed two things I did not like. One was a lack of a chain-break. That's just a glaring omission in my opinion. The second was a propensity to drool bar and chain oil. This was a common complaint in Amazon reviews as well as professional comparison reviews. In these pro reviews, the Makita did very well when it was tested. I have always loved Makita tools and have a number of their 18V tools so I decided to bite the bullet and spend twice what the Ryobi cost but hopefully end up with a better tool that will give me years of service. I'm not disappointed. The kit I bought came with an extra set of batteries and the dual fast charger. The only real workout I've given it so far, if I can call it that was pruning a large tree in my front yard that required removing and cutting up a number of low hanging limbs. The largest limbs were around 8 inches at the trunk. Butter. The chain speed seemed close to what I'm used to with gas chainsaws but it seemed odd to work so well making so little noise. I worked on that tree for several hours and the batteries stayed at 4 bars - I do really like how you can check the battery level on the tool itself. The chain adjustment is simple and effective. It has a flow adjustment for the bar and chain oil but the factory setting seems good. It's not a super-light tool so if that's a consideration, this isn't a saw I'd want to use up in a tree - though it would probably work OK. There are saws with top handles that would be better for that. It's no heavier than a good gas saw though. Makita just has that premium build quality and strong materials tend to be heavy. So far I'm very impressed and look forward to years of service out of this little work-horse. When I was deciding whether to get the 14" or 16" saw, I compared the parts lists for both. The bar and chain are the only differences. I decided to get the 14" because that will be more than enough for what I generally need but I can always get a 16" bar and chain for an instant upgrade. Update 12/2021: My second job with this saw was a massive tree that fell and crushed a chicken coop on my brother's farm. He and my dad had matching 18" Stihl gas saws (the lower priced models) and though I'm sure I just keep my chains sharper I was cutting circles around them. It reached the point I was the only one running my saw. I was finally stopped in my tracks with a simple ground strike that bent my chain. I didn't have a spare. These narrow chains cut like butter but they are more delicate than traditional chains. I now always keep a spare just in case. I've also cut and remove several good sized trees that fell in both of my neighbors' yards during a big storm. The more I use this saw the more I love it. If you're on the fence, just do it. This is a great saw. Update 3/31/2023: This saw is still the bomb. It has been my go-to saw for clearing trees on our local trails. The 14" bar is short enough to stay out of the way in my backpack while riding, but long enough to get most jobs done. I'm still using the original batteries, and knock on wood, they're still going strong. I love this saw! ... show more

Better than I hoped, and I had high expectations based on my other makita tools.
Style: Chainsaw Kit
Since purchasing this saw about a week ago I have cut over 150 cedar trees of various sizes, and a few others including oak and hickory. So I have put this saw to work, hard long days, with short breaks while I ate and drank, I have gone through 2 chains mostly from hitting fence, some of which had grown into the trees. This saw has taken it all like a champ. I have run big logging saws, topping saws, and other small saws similar to this one before, so now that you know my background and how I have tested this thing, here is my review. Overall this saw is one of the best that I have ever used. Not because it has an overwhelming amount of power, but simply because of everything that comes with it being an electric battery powered chainsaw. To keep this short and sweet, I'll make a pro's list and explain the only con. Pro's- The biggest pro is that you hit the button, pull the trigger and it goes, NO more cranking an engine, or cold starts, no gas, no fuss, it just goes. It's quiet, you don't need earplugs or anything, you can't talk over it, but you can yell over it. Good battery life, can cut a little over an hour per charge per pair of 5AH batteries Batteries charge fast with dual charger, about 45 minutes for the 5AH batteries and it works with all other makita 18v batteries Plenty of power for what it is, You can cut down trees bigger than the bar with a bit of finesse Uses surprisingly little bar oil Easy to make adjustments, and no tools needed other than a file for sharpening the chain weighs slightly less than comparable gas chainsaws The only con The tool-less adjustment is a bit finicky sometimes, especially with a new chain. It's not quite as precise as a traditional chainsaw setup, but once you get it all running right any further adjustments only take a few seconds, so the time taken probably evens out, and the fact that you don't need any tools to do the adjustment is quite nice. If you need a chainsaw and have Makita tools already, get this one. If you want a saw that doesn't take much maintenance, get this one. If you want a quiet saw, get this one. If you are using it for camping, definitely get this one. Honestly unless you need to have a serious logging saw, or are already married to another brand that has an electric saw, I would tell you to get this one, it will do everything you need. ... show more

Another professional grade tool from Makita...
Style: Chainsaw Kit
Makita XCU03PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless 14" Chain Saw Kit with 4 Batteries (5.0Ah) I use this saw to trim and cut down small trees on our home lot, but almost didn’t buy it because some reviews were highly critical of how you start the saw. THREE switches are used to turn the saw on: 1. Depress the main power button and a green light shines; it’s above the trigger (see Amazon photo). You have 3 seconds to begin using the saw or the power shuts off. 2. Push the lock-off lever (top side of handle from trigger) down flush – i.e., grab the handle. 3. Pull the switch-trigger to instantly start the saw – begin cutting. When you stop cutting: ... if you release the lock-lever, power will shut off in 3 seconds; start with #1 above to use the saw again ... if you hold the lock-lever down, saw will activate with the trigger. The power button’s light becomes more difficult to see when wearing gloves. The problem is that you should always wear gloves when using a chain saw. Picture felling a 12" diameter tree with a hundred branches that need removing and cutting up. As you make your way to each branch you’ll likely release the lock-lever to carry the saw plus more than three seconds will pass, so it’s back to step #1 each time. For big jobs, these safety steps will be frustrating. However, this feature is important for users such as teenagers, or my wife, and those not as familiar with the saw. [Some reviewers suggest taping the lock-lever down, so the saw is ready with only a trigger pull – but that bypasses safety features designed to prevent personal injury.] - seems about as powerful and quick-cutting as a small gas chain saw – the kind arborists carry up trees for trimming. - very quiet – we can start early in the morning and not wake the neighbors. - the oil tank (for the chain’s auto-oiler) doesn’t leak if you tighten the cap, so there’s no need to drain the tank between uses and it won’t leak on your truck bed. If the chain isn’t getting sufficient oil, use the adjusting screw to increase the oil flow. - chain tightening is simple. Back off on the hand screw securing the bar; rotate the tiny wheel below that toward the bar’s tip until the chain isn’t loose (rotator wheel is small to prevent over tightening of the chain); retighten the hand screw. Check chain tension every half dozen cuts at least, because it can loosen. Cutting with a loose chain, especially if cutting on the bar’s top by pushing up on a limb – can throw the chain off the bar, possibly ruining it and the drive gear. - Replacement chain: Oregon 90PX052 with a suffix of XMA, G, or CK. - needs no pull-rope for starting like a 2-cycle engine does; no “can’t start” issues; no mixing gas/oil, no ear-shattering noise – humans will appreciate the quiet. - as I own several other Makita 18v tools, the deal with the four 5ah batteries was a no-brainer. I’ll rarely run-down the batteries on any given job, but will have spares if needed. - The handle guard (just forward of the front handle) is also a chain brake. If your hand slips off the handle while cutting, the theory is, that will push the handle guard toward the bar, locking the chain – another safety feature. The handle guard must be in the rear position to start the saw. - Makita offers several dozen of tools using these same (18v) batteries. So, once you own a charger and multiple batteries, you can buy the “tool only” version of 18v Makita models and save big money. The key to how frustrating the safety switch is, depends on the size of your cutting tasks; and your patience. For occasional small jobs around the house, it’s not bad. But, if you’ll use the saw for hours at a time, it could be a royal pain in the arse. All in all, though, another professional grade tool from Makita. ... show more

Great deal even if you don't like the chainsaw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
This is a great saw. Has as much power as a 16" gas powered craftsman. I got tried of winterizing my gas powered one. I always had some type of problems with it. I only used it few times a year. I cut my fire wood with this makita saw. 2 sets of batteries lasted about 45 minutes. Not as long as I expected. It takes a lot to cut through large limbs even with a gas powered saw. So if you use it to cut big limbs batteries won't last a long time. I had my tree cut down by a tree company. I used this saw to cut up the limbs. This saw cut a 11" diameter wet log with ease. It's a great saw for trimming and small trees. If you want to cut alot. You really should buy a big gas saw. Just common knowledge a 16 " or smaller saw is only for trimming limbs, small tress or scrubs. The chain tension is easy to use. Much lighter than my gas saw. I like it that I can put the saw down to move limbs and pick back up and start cutting again. It comes with a chain guard. Seems to be durable. I am long time makita cordless tool user. I have cordless circular saw, router, 10" miter saw, 3 different reciprocal saws, impacts drivers and drills, jig saw, planer, oscillating saw, angle grinder. If you don't plan on being a professional lumberjack. This is a awesome saw to have on hand. I also used it to notch out a 6x6 pressure treated post. Over all GREAT SAW. FYI at homedepot a 2 pack of 5.0 batteries are 159.00 dollars, that's 318.00 in just batteries. On Ebay dual charger is 50.00 dollars. So basically you get the chain saw for FREE!!! Its a great deal!!! ... show more

Cuts Extremely Well ... High Quality Tool - don't let bad reviews from novice user fool you

Makita XCU03PT1 Cordless Chain Saw Review 20180116 Makita XCU03PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 14" Chain Saw My review of this Makita XCU03PT1 chainsaw is as follow. This Makita Cordless ChainSaw is a high quality, strong performer, smartly designed, solid, tool. Performance is great, CLEAN, easy to adjust chain, and bar oil filling was also easy, battery power source duration of use is good for batteries, and Cordless does not make it a weak, gimmicky, or a ‘Pretty’ tool it makes it extremely maneuverable with a solid power system. As fort the issue about the auto-shut off, I found it to be a smart safety item for the type and situations I find myself working in. My only con is the button is a little hard to push with gloves on… perhaps a drop of JB weld on top would make it easier to locate and push. Read on if you need to UNDERSTAND more about this saw. I don’t need to wear hearing protection (30 plus years on the Flightline with USAF Fighter Aircraft) hearing protection is something I believe is a smart personal protective item. I’m all in with this Makita saw and most Makita tools. Currently my chainsaw for general to heavy use is a Husqvarna 450 Rancher, 18 in. 50.2cc Gas Chainsaw. I needed another chainsaw that is less of a beast and more of a medium duty tool. Following the large tree cutting and ‘limbing’ when cleaning up branches which is the bulk of the work. Sometimes you are o the ground moving branches and tree trunks to get to what you need to cut or just cutting the larger sections into usable ‘Fire Wood’. The saw is NOT as powerful as the ‘450 Rancher’ but I never thought it would be. The rancher even bogs down on some cuts because it is mostly oak. Cutting a ten or twelve inch branch of oak is serious cutting. But unless I push hard on the Makita it chips away like nobody’s business. I keep all the cutting edges sharp and use a file every Gas up or Battery change. I have chips a flying, but it is hard, dense and dry wood. The saw performs well and has a strong cutting ability. The only performance issue would be when cutting large long cuts the Makita is slower by about 30% to that of the 450 Rancher. While cutting fire wood there is many times to stop between cuts and work the pile for a bit to position wood for cutting, this is where the auto-shut-off is a great safety issue. When I put the saw down it is good to know that is OFF and going to slip from where I set it to move into a hazardous position. And then to push a button instead of having to pull start the saw is such a time saver and face it sometimes you are not in a good position to pull start a gas saw. Not All Chain Saw Work is On Solid Flat Ground. Leaning, kneeling, bending, reaching, starting, stopping, setting the saw down and reaching for it again. Even though this is an electric saw, it is by no means a lightweight when it comes to being a useful tool for working trees and branches. It is a quality saw, as you might expect, it is much more powerful than my two corded electric chainsaws. Price issue should be considered the Makita and the 450 Rancher cost about the same. The up side is that the Makita came with four 5.0Ahour batteries that retail for about $125 EACH (Home Depot price is $129ea…yes, $500 worth of batteries) which is one factor that influenced my purchase. I read the reviews and there is quite a bit to say about the auto-shut off. In a minute. The performance of the WHY BUY MAKITA -- I have many chainsaws from traditional gas, electric, pole saws, a Jaw Saw to the Black and Decker Alligator pruning saw. I use lots of cordless tools as much of the work is away from common 120 VAC. The Makita fit my needs for quality, price and performance, while DeWalt and others are fine tools, but when you make a choice, it’s sometimes silly to change mid-stream once you’ve got so many tools and chargers and batteries. Which is why a bought the Makita. You should know…First off I’m not a professional lumberjack or use my chainsaws for any type of professional work. My background is aircraft electronics and a home owner. Currently I live on a small ranch with about 300 oak and other types of trees. Most of the tress are under 24” diameter, I trim trees, clear downed trees, cut the logs and branches into fire wood and use the wood to heat my dwelling, the rest is considered Hazardous Brush Abatement to aid in forest fire prevention. Point is this is not a hobby or a couple weeks a year of use time. When the season hits the saws are used around 6 hours a week for about 20 weeks. Then used off and on throughout the rest of the year for odd purposes. MCC Central California Mountains ... show more

Great companion to my Stihl MS261 and MS660 chainsaws.
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I got this saw in 2018 (over 5 years now) and has over 40 hours of use. If I’m going out to cut for a short time and I know it’s mostly small stuff (under 14”) then I’ll leave the Stihls at home and take an extra set or 2 of batteries. Using a postal scale (very accurate) the saw without batteries with around half a tank of bar oil and a bit of sawdust is 8 lbs 13 oz. A pair of 3.0Ah batteries add 2 lbs 13 oz and strangely enough the 5.0Ah were the same (both are Makita batteries that were sold and shipped by Amazon). That makes it about 1-2 lbs heavier than the poplar Stihl MS201T which is a professional top-handle saw. This is a great saw if you need to get into a tree and for trimming or pruning because it’s so light. Instant on at the push of a button with time delay auto-off and battery indicators. Perfect saw for anyone needing occasional use saw that has already bought into the Makita 18v line. No gas to worry about draining/replacing for storage. Perfect to take it camping or clean up of limbs from storm damage. I have some work coming up that going to put me up in the tree before cutting and plan to give this Makita a try before buying one of the top handle gas units. The replacement 14” chain from Oregon is 90PX052G. I’d recommend one of the 2-in-1 sharpeners if you have a bench vice or something like the Oregon stump vice 26368A. The 2-in-1 will also set the proper height on depth gauge (the little bump between the cutters). Make sure it’s the 3/8 LP (low profile version). I’ve been using my bench chain grinder but think the 2-in-1 is better. ... show more

A low maintenance performer!
Style: Chainsaw Kit
This review is for the Makita XCU03PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 14" Chain Saw Kit with 4 Batteries and dual charger. I have used this saw a few times now, and it is just blowing me away how good it is. I cut just about a half cord of wood on a single charge with the included 5Ah batteries, largely cutting logs near the limit of size for the bar length. Items you'll need: Bar and Chain oil (which you would need for any chainsaw) Electrical outlet to charge the batteries Unboxing: Two batteries come installed in the saw body Two batteries come in their own partition in the box with plastic terminal protectors and wrapped in plastic The battery charger is also partitioned separately The chain comes well oiled to prevent rust and in a bag to prevent a mess The bar and chain guard come disassembled to save space in the box. Note: My batteries showed no lights on the battery meter upon arrival. I threw them on the charger and they were good to go shortly after assembly. Assembly: With the tool-less adjustment, installation is really easy. The most difficult part was untangling the chain once taken out of the bag. The instructions are very easy to follow. Once assembled, fill with Bar and Chain oil and you are ready to cut some trees. First Use: Be sure to keep an eye on the chain tension every use, but especially during the first few uses. I had to tighten the chain up a few times during my first use, but has seemed to need minimal adjustment after the first half cord of wood. The tool-less adjustment makes this a really quick field operation without the need to carry tools with you. Also, ensure you're getting proper lubrication from the bar and chain oil. The adjustment dial seems to have 3 detent positions for low, medium, high oil flow rates. This adjustment you use may be different based on temperature or oil brand/type. Conclusion: This saw has taken me from a yard full of uncut logs, to nicely stacked cords in just a few days. This saw is great for the infrequent needs of most homeowners due to the low maintenance and ease of use and relatively quiet operation, but don't think that this saw isn't a great performer, because it absolutely rocks! I only occasionally heard the chain slow down under heavier load and lower battery level. If you are a Makita tool ecosystem user, then the 4 batteries and dual charger included in the kit will be a great addition to your toolset. If you haven't jumped into the cordless tool revolution yet, the Makita 18V ecosystem has been great to me and I don't hesitate to recommend Makita to anyone. ... show more

BEST Chainsaw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I feel bad I didn't review this sooner, it's in my list of stuff unreviewed/stunned me. *I LOVE THIS CHAINSAW*. I watched *piles* of YouTube vids, with this and other saws, this one always seemed *quality*. And while I'll credit Milwaukee with having a stronger saw, I dunno it's that much stronger/they both get the job done. Makita's got less issues with thrown chains, oil leaks, etc, even, seemed more sturdy. I've only ever thrown my chain once using the Makita chainsaw, and that was doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing. I did hear of this annoying on/off button issue - it having a safety time out that was 4 seconds or somejunk. Mine? I'm not even sure, lasts about a minute I'd guess. But it's the new updated version that I'd gotten, it was fine on time-outs. I liked the old-school tensioning system more, or thought I would, truth? I'm still curious how I'd like them both, compared side-by-side. But I've had no real issue getting the tooless-tensioner to work. At least past the learning curve of figuring out how it worked in the first place. But that was day 1... Had to get this version to get more batteries and in all ways it's just been a fine saw. I stored it on a bag, it did leak a lil' oil, that leakage is how the system works/it happens. I also observed Makita was one of the few electric chainsaws I saw with oiling adjustment possibilities. There's some screw you can turn, somewhere, I forget, I've never adjusted it, take it out of the box/start the batteries charging/put it together/go cut some stuff. IMO, this is, seriously, the best electric chainsaw on the market, overall. Milwaukee cuts harder, fine. Makita cuts really damn well, seems more reserved/elegant/quality. Dewalt, etc, didn't even impress me with their supposed chainsaws, not even worth mention. But *don't* take my word on the Makita chainsaw -- go watch *piles* of chainsaw videos on YouTube, see what you think... And just for humor's sake? I got this saw over a tree near a new car I'd bought, birds kept crapping on my car. Daily. So i thought I'd remove the tree. Once I researched/ordered this perfect saw -- and it is pretty damn perfect -- but while I was waiting for it to arrive, I observed my car was being hit sometimes where the tree wasn't. I thought more, figured it out, the older car I left fairly dirty. I hate night drivers with ultra-bright LED lights (you know who you are, punks!) and so I let the mirrors get dirty. Newer car? Nice and polished? I was attracting rutty grumpy birds who saw themselves and had to bat at the window/leave messes on the car. I got a saw, I got both bars, both covers, replacement chains, etc, and basically blew about half a grand on problem solved, before anything arrived, by the application of 2 spare plastic grocery bags (to cover the mirrors). On the upside? Did some yard clearing, since... The biggest complaint I've seen? Is battery life. Electric chainsaws *all* eat their battery, some use stronger batteries, makita's using 2x5 amp hour but they're 18V batteries powering a 36V system. Which is why it cuts so much nicer than many other saws. Milwaukee's doing an 18V battery/system, but at 12 amp hours/it's powerful over the battery pushing it. Ponder how you're going to use the saw -- a tree falls, you'll cut it into segments, move them out your driveway? Because most tests I saw were them cutting "cookies" -- slicing a log over and over into small circle-discs. I remember someone saying Makita could only do 40-45 or so of those. But a 50' tree falls and you cut it into 2' log segments, 24 cuts, you could do that about-twice. Are you then taking 2' segments and using the chainsaw to slice them into logs? Because a good axe swing can split those... For my use, overgrown yard, I'd go here and there and take down saplings. Or do actual limbing. But most of my cuts were small, quick, over, a battery saw doesn't keep running/burning fuel, it's only really running while you're using it. Suffice I've gone out cutting, and stopped, and still had most of my battery left. I'm also horribly unfit, lazy, etc... ... show more
