Product reviewsMakita DUC254 18V Brushless Chainsaw with 2 x 5.0Ah Batteries

Capable for its size

It is what it is. It's 18 volts and has numerous protective features which protect both the user from the saw and the saw from the user. The bar is only about 23cm but that doesn't make this a toy! It is a top handle chainsaw and in that it's design requires a proper level of training to use safely. I find that it compliments owning a larger more powerful saw and its limitations will quickly be discovered in use, If you ask to much of it the LED will turn red and it will remain inoperative until it has cooled down.This will .put some people off it, but they will have unrealistic expectations of this very light very small and useful saw.Read full review...

Useful tool

Have been using a 3amh battery and only lasts about 10 minutes have bought a 5 amh but not used it yet but should extend running time. Great for the garden and small jobs. Light weight and easy to handle good safety features. Lots of cheap ones about but this is a trusted make.Read full review...

SMALL BUT MIGHTY

All the features of a 2 stroke saw just as powerfull much lighter no fumes and minimal vibration make sure you use genuine makita battery to get good run time a silicon or rubber cover for battery would be a good idea as is recomended for tree surgery and i dont thnk would survive heavy impact? i wish i had one of these saws when i did tree surgery work would have been much easier.I am using mine for ground based work . fencing hedging etc and its brlliant buy one you wont regret it !!!Read full review...

A great chaibsaw

This is a great tool for small jobs. It’s very easy to set up and use and has great safety features. It does drain the battery very quickly so you really need one or two additional charged batteries if you have a biggish job to do.Read full review...

Happy cutting

Pleased with this saw it doesn't quite have the power of a petrol saw but for what it will be used for its up to the job (ie when you use it hard it will stop cutting unlike a petrol saw) but I understand this and my allowances.Read full review...

Small but 'MIGHTY'

Lightweight, powerful and made the job of cutting 2" to 4" dia branches from two 75ft trees that were to be felled a task I was a bit dubious about but this little gem of a tool made it a lot easier and safer than my original plan (4amp hr batt used 50% for about 1.5 hrs work).
Because of its capabilities I will use this tool for cutting wood for our forthcoming wood burner.
No cons as of yetRead full review...

Excellent chainsaw

Excellent chainsaw bought this saw to do some work in the garden,
I’m very pleased with the way it preformed,
Coupled with a 5amp battery you can get quite a few cuts with it,
It’s well balanced being a top handle and nice and light to work with In all very pleased.Read full review...

Limited but great

This little saw is viable for light pruning and firewood up to three or 4 inch diameter at a push.
It is designed for pruning, repeated firewood cutting will engage the thermal lockout unless you take your time.
Keep the chain sharp, keep the oil topped up, it's a decent little sawRead full review...

Set to be indispensable.

Easy to use and maintain with sensible safety features. A very handy saw which readily cuts through sizable branches.
