You wont be disappointed Darren, have a scan on ebay, I went for the generic 5ah battery combos purchased as a pair but would recommend 2 in the saw and at least 2 in reserve. There are mobs out there that sell a 4 pack at a good price. The saw itself has a battery life warning life, but if you go the genuine Makita battery you end up with the 'fuel tank' display on the battery as well. OI didnt go this path as my use didnt justify it - not like a tradie needing to confirm life in the battery for a specific job for example. I also went the single charger station, regret that now as I can recharge off the inverter but only one at a time, so if I was to do it again would go the twin charger station. I bought a spare bar as well, just because it is easy to bend one and carry 5 spare chains.

That looks like the 14" bar unit - mine only has the 12". When I get home on the weekend I will have a look at my neighbours saw - same as this one you bought as he has found a really neat storage box from Bunnings I believe.

Cheers Phil. Yeah i have all Makita so have 56 batteries now. Looking at a Twin Charger and 2 x 5amp batteries on ebay for $110 though and think i might grab it. Cheap. Then use the 2500W pure sine wave inverter i have never used when touring. will let me charge all of them throughout the day for the chain saw and blower.

Finally wet and dry sanded back the shelves I made and can use them. Very happy with the end result.

Yeah, being a bit proactive, a piece of surfboard rubber along that bottom shelf will protect precious heads from a crack on the sharp edge. My eldest fell forward onto the bedside table when she was little and knocked out both front baby teeth, blood everywhere and total distress. Sharp corners, bad stuff. I can see the corners are broken , but food for thought.

Finally had the camera up the backside this afternoon. Waiting over 5 weeks really plays with your head. So I'm in the clear but I could have started my own Winery from what they found. Haha. BIG relief none the less. Just bloody sore at the moment. I can sort of understand what sheep go though now when its mulesing time.

Awesome news mate great to hear. Stress level a bit better now I bet
