Great tool around the yard. [Posted on 2004-05-22]
We have used ours for 3 years now and it has to be the best tools we have for yard work. It will actually cut down trees (small ones). It trims, it de-limbs, cuts firewood, clears brush, cooks dinner (grin). We were a little skeptical when we bought it but it has turned into one of our most used tools. It works as described and more. It is also very tough (It gets dropped a lot) and has never failed. We bought an extra battery and recommend that for long days in the yard. The NiMH battery lasts over an hour of heavy use. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Easy to handle and so light. Great for those hard to reach places like under fence wires, beats using hand loppers! I am worn out just about the time the battery is run down. :)
Great, compact chainsaw [Posted on 2007-03-27]
I love this Makita! It is not too heavy and I am able to do an incredible amount of work with it before there is any sign of low battery charge. I have a 7-acre property so being able to easily carry this around to do spot cleanup has come in very handy.
MAKITA CHAIN SAW REVIEW [Posted on 2007-11-10]
THIS MAKITA KIT HAS PERFORMED SUPERBURBLY! IN TYPICAL MAKITA FASHION, THE KIT IS EXTREMELY WELL BUILT. THE BATTERY CHARGE REMAINS STRONG AND I HAVE CUT LOGS UP TO 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER WITH NO PROBLEM. ONE SUGGESTION I WOULD MAKE...PURCHASE A SECOND BATTERY (WHICH I DID) TO HAVE ONE CHARGING WHILE THE OTHER IS IN USE. I USE THE SAW ON A FARM WHERE ELECTRIC POWER IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND OUR GAS POWERED SAWS ARE OVERKILL.
YOU WON'T GO WRONG PURCHASING A MAKITA!
Excellent addition to my tool shed [Posted on 2007-11-18]
This tool is an absolute gem. I have several acres of forrested land and at times the upkeep is pretty high - I have an 18" gas chain saw but needed something smaller, and easier to manage for the smaller jobs. After a lot of research I came across the Makita but was at first put off by the price of $240. After thinking about it I went ahead and bought it a year ago and have continued to be delighted by it.
The tool is well built, cuts through wood very well and feels safe. I use it on limbs of up to 6" and it deals with them effortlessly. I'd love to give it 5 stars as it really deserves it, but the one issue I have is removing the battery. It's very hard to push in both of the release buttons, and my wife often asks me to do it. I don't know if this is typical, it's not a show stopper, more of an inconvenience, that said it would not stop me from buying it again - though based on it's performance to date I doubt that will be something I have to think about for a good few years.
I've really put it through its paces and it continues to exceed my expectations. The battery life is not as good as others have indicated, but again, I place much higher demands on it that I image most homeowners do.
