- I was very dubious of a battery chainsaw...but I read a good review of a Makita battery saw...and managed to pick one up for £159 (bare) so thought why not! Heres how I got on and critically, how long the 2x5AH LXT batteries lasted. Fair to say; amazed. Awesome bit of kit!! 100% recommend! Compared to the Stihl petrol saw, its about the same length, width, height, bar length is the same, tool-less chain tensioner is the same, the Makita is marginally lighter but all in, pretty similar spec, this is just a straight fight, battery verses petrol! The makita has more torque than the stihl and never struggled once even with the larger logs I tested it on. 150 cuts on 2x5AH batteries is pretty awesome! If you are a home user...and potentially if you are a professional and have more than one set of batteries, this is a fantastic saw. I definitely will be swapping to battery, im a fully blown convert!
I bought my Makita with 4 batteries and the dual charger.
I get at least an hour of typical use per battery pair with a charge time of only 20 minutes. It makes cutting a pleasure.
Needless to say, it has "most favored status" in my pole barn.
Brilliant. They take next to no time to charge also. And so much quieter than a damn petrol chainsaw! I’m sold.
sold!!! thats convinced me....ive used a stihl ms180 for years but that makita looks very impressive
Pretty impressive! I've just got the same saw and waiting for a pair of 5 amp Makita batteries to turn up. Looks like a good choice especially as I have various other Makita tools that take the 18 volt batteries. It's horses for courses, mains voltage Makita saw for the log shed, a petrol chainsaw for breaking my bloody wrists every winter and this battery one will be great for limbing off stuff around the fields and some logging too by the looks. Cordless is the way forward. Good video, cheers.
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Thanks for this awesome review! I am a homeowner looking to do some light property maintenance and I think this is the best option for men! No more gummed up carbs! Woohoo
These are great little saws
Mine hasn't missed a beat.
Nice I got the same set up, identical saws, and the workmate, well pleased with both.
Awesome makita all them cuts its basically a 5ah 36 volt cause its twin batteries so lol love Makita power tools if need charge batterys fast buy a dual charger it can charge 2 5ah in about 50 mins both same time
Great thanks. Really just need a few sets of 2 x 5AH ready and would last ages.
Good basic and honest tool review - that's the way I like 'em Tom - 5*****
Beautiful...i want it! Great job dude
4Ah is basically a toy, not a serious tool. Though the much higher efficiency of electric motor is able to compensate some of it as seen in video. Something like 20-30Ah battery in a packback would be a sufficient one. I did rebuild a BUC300 makita (brushed motor) chainsaw to a external 20Ah 24V battery 6 years ago and that already enabled to do some logging :) But once a while it did overheat and finally it did fry the armature (demagnetization also occured). Another great benefit accompanying external battery is the fact that the chainsaw without batter was only about 2.5kg or something and could easily be operated with one hand.
Thanks got your video Tom . Have been thinking about this saw , now off to press the magic button 👍🏼👍🏼😊
Colour of your cap and t-shirt told me all since first seconds. :)
Thanks! Very good video!
Useful information.
Fair test, thanks.
Great video. Mine is on the way. Can't wait.
It's a great little saw! Let us know how you get on!! I'd keep an eye on the chain oiler once you are running, mine was wound all the way in straight out the box so there was hardly any oil coming through to lubricate the chain. 👍
i want one and i don’t even need one ..
Everyone NEEDS a chainsaw...🤣
I bought one and i don’t need one…
Eu preciso de um e nem quero.
I used mine today I did 5 cuts on big discs of 55cm and was completely dead . I was expecting a bit better but I guess it's made for smaller stuff . I'd like to see it go up against the new 40v chainsaw
Very good demonstration!
Great review nice to see it getting used
I'm representing for them gangsters all across the world
(STIHL) Hitting them corners in them low-lows, girl
STIHL taking my time to perfect the beat
And I STIHL got love for the streets, it’s the HSE(Health and safety Executive)
This is great
Brilliant 😂 I'm a year late but it's stihl relative 👌
Thanks brother!
What is the update? Is the Makita still going strong?
I want one!! 👍🏻
Hey tom i got the same saw but the one with a tool tensioner. Havent had it long but the thing just keeps cutting out under load. Have you had any issues with yours over time ?
No not really. If the batteries are about empty it stops when it runs out of power but with new batteries the only time I've had it stop is when I've tried to go through a 20" dry hard stump... And it's just too big for a little saw 😂. Is it a sharp blade and are the batteries charged?
@@tomchapman5761 yes batteries are full and blade seems sharp, i dont really get it, it just seems like it doesnt have the power, my 50 quid aldi plug in chainsaw seems much more powerful
Hi, Perhaps the chain is too tight?
❤
speeding up the video does NOT help - I need to see the actual time it takes to cut thru - when you accelerate the video speed it invalidates the experiment
with 2 of 6Ah you will get loot more power gona get borred or tired on cutting.
This is awesome! What it's called in US?
C h a i n S a w . 😁 Just kidding.
Trator esteira.
Ok😁😁😁🤓🤓🤓
Lost respect, its no toy at all and stihl 181 is a crap saw
