    • Great saw in the tree. Instant start, great power, pretty quiet when that's an issue!
Style: Chainsaw Kit
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

    • Cheaper than gas comes with two batteries and light
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I purchased this during the hurricanes after my gas chainsaw cap breaking I love this not only is it lighter for me as I am a lady, but it is like a butter cutting through the logs. It made my job so much easier cleaning up my yard and I had humongous trees fall. The price was less than what I paid for my other gas chainsaw and it came with two batteries. ... show more

    • Nice climber saw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
Running 5.0Ah batteries*** -Won’t compete with a gas top-handle in terms of cutting power but is still satisfyingly powerful, I personally use it on small/medium trees for pruning and hazard limb removal, batteries won’t last through a full takedown on anything over 40’ especially if hardwood -same weight, maybe heavier than a stihl 201 -keep the chain sharp and use your hand-saw on smaller cuts to conserve battery and it’s a nice climber saw for small/medium trees and a great value for the average homeowner ... 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

    • Great if you understand it will never be a 200T. ****Late Febtober update!***
Style: Chainsaw Kit
Very pleased with this purchase. Be advised that this isn't supposed to be your goto saw for dropping large trees and will not replace a full-power saw for those types of jobs. For pruning, limbing, and working up high in the tree, the quiet and convenience of electronic power cannot be matched. If you don't have to climb, the rear handle makita may be a better option in my opinion. The 5.0ah batteries will leave you wanting more runtime but otherwise, i'm very happy. Update: After using the saw at least a few times a week since November, it continues to exceed my expectations. I've actually dropped several 10-12" pine trees and dropped the saw from over 15ft with no problems whatsoever. It's starting to show signs of the abuse but continues to astound friends with it's runtime and performance. Several have purchased the saw now and one actually switched from dewalt to makita tools to keep battery interchangeability. I purchase my dad the rear handle version for working around the house and have only used my larger stihl once for dropping two very large pines. Pro tip: Go to the junk store and buy a shoulder strap off of a heavy piece of luggage to wear as a sling to tote it and keep your hands free. ... show more

    • A Great Saw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I live in the Colorado mountains in an Aspen grove and have to occasionally deal with trees that have died or have been blown over by high winds. This saw works great and has replaced my gas saw. There isn't any mess with mixing gas and no carburetor adjustments. It's instant starting and quiet running. The batteries last about 40 minutes of continual sawing. I bought a set of off brand batteries for spares and they seem to work as well as the Makita brand. This is a great tool and I'm very happy with it. ... show more

    • Not the same quality as the corded Makita chain saw
Style: Chainsaw Kit
It is with a heavy heart that I have to give this chain saw a less then a perfect review. I have had my Makita corded chain saw for 7 years and it has never let down, so I thought I would try the cordless. I have yet to have a good experience with this model. Out of the box, the batteries worked once. After that they were always red even though the charger said they were fully charged. The chain saw indicator itself showed red, and the saw would not turn. I got new batteries that showed green, but the chain saw would not work. And yes, I know you have to move the chain guard towards you to release it. I sent the whole thing back and bought another one. Same battery problem so I bought 2 off brand batteries and they worked and were cheaper. The saw is working but does not have the power of the electric. It stops many times while cutting and lasts only about 1/2 hr. I'm keeping it for small jobs but I am back to the electric for cutting logs. ... show more

    • A most excellent climb saw.
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I love this saw! I'm a climbing arborist and I did an extensive product search to find the best battery powered top handle climbing saw, and this is it. Believe it or not, it came down to Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Makita, not Stihl or Husqvarna. There's a 2nd stage power boost and you can feather the trigger. It's not light with two batteries, but the batteries are interchangeable with all the other Makita tools. My up-scale, or higher end clients really appreciate the quieter tree work as do I. ... show more
