    • Amazing saw!
Style: Chain Saw Only
Great power! for small jobs or cutting up a weekend worth of campfire wood its amazing. I've only cut a dozen or so cuts so far as camping season is over but I keep it in my vehicle when in the woods to clear any dead falls. Power in my opinion is comparable to a small gas saw or a battery powered stihl for a lot less money. If you plan on cutting for over 20 minutes non stop I would bring spare batteries or go gas. That's not a criticism, its a great saw but should be used as its intended. I haven't cut long enough to run out of batteries yet and initial test seems like they would last a while. Maybe 100 cuts on 5" logs but that depends on what your cutting. ... show more

    • Great power and battery life.
Style: Kit w/ two 5.0Ah batteries
I own a lot of chainsaws, and this one is quickly becoming my favorite. I trimmed two oak trees and a maple using four batteries. Very impressed!

    • Great saw in the tree. Instant start, great power, pretty quiet when that's an issue!
Style: Kit w/ two 5.0Ah batteries
I love my Stihl top handled saws, but I enjoy having the option for battery powered convenience with a bit more "ease of use." This saw is quieter for those times when early morning or odd times require a quieter option for "picky" customers. We've all had moments when pulling and pulling the start cord on our saws in an awkward position just sucks, and I gotta say I love the no pull-cord/instant-on convenience of this saw. Great power and torque. Most of my batteries work great with this, but I do have two that seems to die faster than the others occasionally... But thats probably an issue with the batteries, not the saw per-say. After first year of use so far so good! ... show more

    • Wow impressive battery life!
Style: Chain Saw Only
I have been skeptical about some of these battery tools being equal to their gas powered counterparts I was initially afraid I would have to have 20 batteries with me to get through the day, but when you have to trim in residential areas early in the morning, every little thing you can do to keep the neighbors as happy as possible counts to squeeze in the maximum amount of work in the day. And as a reputable tree care person you should know by now that drop starting saws is very high on the 'no-no' list, even in the bucket and in a tree. This saw is truly amazing, if used properly as a 'trimming' saw, not a fell/limb/buck saw. I run Stihl MS194s' and MS201s'; so that is my base for comparison. -Cost is inline with the initial cost of the MS194, not so much the MS201 -This saw with the batteries is heavier than those two saws, but just barely noticeable. Using the 5.0AH batteries -Power for trimming.. TRIMMING.. seems pretty comparable, the 201 has a little more omph but at twice the cost, but the blade speed on the makita is either on or off, there is no varying of blade speed. -You cannot really start the chainsaw on the limb you are trimming, you have to start it then engage the limb. If not sometimes the auto shut off kicks in if the chain grabs and the saw feels like it is binding and the saw won't start, or shut off immediately -Length of use, got half a day's work out of a single charge, versus two tanks of gas. -This saw has an oiler adjustment with three levels which I might test one day on harder woods. Which the stihls do not -No exhaust fumes from this saw or gas fumes -No chance of getting burned from exhaust muffler or exhaust gas -No more pulling, having to start -Low noise, the blade makes noise when in motion, there is still a high pitch noise, but the general amount of noise is drastically less; less potential for hearing damage to the operator -Also with the low noise it is easier to communicate with ground crew -Good balance with the 14" bar/chain combo, it is a 3/8 .43 chain, easy to find chain -Lower vibration, resulting is less operator fatigue -Cannot use older 18v lxt batteries with this saw, must be the newer batteries with the level indicator on the battery -No air filter changes, no spark plugs, no fiddling with the carburetor, no need to worry about improper fuel mixes, no ethanol gas problem, no need to service, so in theory no down time -Yes batteries are expensive averaging 80$ one, but looking for the right makita kits, not only ups your battery game but also expands your collection of makita lxt tools too This may sound bad, but if this saw lasts a whole year without any issues, that'd be fantastic; 4-6 hours a day, 6 days a week. The one thing I am truly worried about with this saw is durability from a drop. it is not supposed to happen even when connected with a lanyard, but it does. Looking at the saw, I feel like it would burst into a million tiny pieces of plastic if dropped. I will post an update if this does happen, hoping not to thou. Overall I really like this saw, it has no real limitations that I have seen yet that I cannot get past, I will be purchasing a few more, heck might even use these instead of the stihl's for daily all day trimming. and just use the larger stihls for the felling/limbing/bucking ... show more

    • Battery vs. 2cycle, no contest
Style: Kit w/ two 5.0Ah batteries
Frustration is the only word for a right arm amputee with a chain saw. No more. I've used the 14" Makita "Top Handle" for two days now doing fence row overgrowth and find it fantastic. Saw slices through pine & hardwood like butter. Batteries last 4hrs of interupted use and recharge in 45min or so. No more nursing a saw that doesn't want to start; that dies when you set it down; that works every time you pick it up. The Stihl is twice as expensive and the Makita does the same job. The 2cycle may be a bit lighter, but the electric's dependability wins my vote. ... show more

    • Valuable Tool
Style: Kit w/ two 5.0Ah batteries
I’ve owned this chainsaw for a while now and have put it to the test. I have 7 wooded acres that I’m working on to clear dead debris for fire mitigation. This chainsaw has been so reliable. It helps me get it done! If I somehow break it (would be difficult to do…), I would definitely purchase again! Battery life is great! Extremely well made and tough, yet comfortably light and easy to manage. I’m a smaller sized female. ... show more

This thing is delightful. I own a husky 460(24" bar) that I've used clearing land for sometime, upto 4ft wide madrones. This isn't for that. Reality is, a lot of tree work is making cuts in 2" branches, which are in awkward angles, the husky tires you out very quickly on the small stuff, your also likely to require a plaster(bandaid) waving a 2ft bar around. This has no problem going through 6" smaller trees either. Where it really comes in handy is it's quick grab and use, I finished with it before I got the husky started. It's also much better for cutting wood for projei like 4X4s, far more accurate in my hands anyway. I'm using it only at home and have a bundle of batteries, generally another set has charged before I run it out so can quick switch and go. Let's see how it last test of time. Certainly recommend if you have a big bucking saw, but do a lot of small cutting, also if you have a big garden and clean up a lot of tree branches. ... show more
