Makita DUC405Z Twin 18v LXT Cordless Chainsaw 400mm Body Only

Awesome saw!

After being impressed with these new age battery powered tools (impact wrenches without a compressor wohooo!!) I decided to try a battery powered chainsaw from my chosen manufacturer. My usercase is typical homeowner use. Felling and bucking 5-10 trees yearly for firewood etc. I was pleasantly surprised of the power and torque that this thing has. Be aware however that this thing uses up batteries like nothing else I have ever tried. Better to have ca. 4 6Ah batteries for for contionous workflow charging the extra pair simultaneously.

I'm especially pleased to not have that 2-stroke odour hanging around me for the rest of the day.
My ears got a rest for the buzzaw whining and no shaky hands after a day of logging.

Refuel from the wall outlet all the way. No mixing gas anymore. No extra trips to get more gas and 2-stroke oil when you run out. Just the bar oil and a good chain file.

No going back to gas powered saws for me.

I'm sure that pro guys still need their gas saws. I'm glad I don't.Read full review

Saw failed after 4 months.

After 4 months my saw has stopped working. It is not the switch but the whole electric unit has faulted.
Need to spend money on a brand new one or spend £140 on a new electrical unit for the chainsaw.
Not the greatest at all.
I was expecting better from this brand and only using once a week to cut 4 or 5 logs in half for basic fire wood.

Excellent piece of kit, Ideal for my use.

Excellent piece of kit. I have a number of interchangeable batteries that fits this item which helps. We have a 2 stroke stihl which is good but as we use it seldom therefore always take a while to get it going first time. This i can pick and do a small job without spending more time starting it than using it.Read full review
