    @rusty_nail mate, honestly, have you experienced service difficulties with Makita/Mactec mate? The way I see it financially, reckon we could cook 3 of these Mactec puppies for the same price before head office would call me back!
    Food for thought I guess on saws folks ?

    Mate, in all honesty I own (and use regularly) about two dozen makita tools and In the three years I've accumulated this collection, I have had one impact driver have the rubber delaminate, and one hammer drill cook it's motor. One bought through total tools and the other through Sydney tools, I didn't have an issue with either of them being repaired. It took 2 weeks and I got them back all working.

    Are you having big issues getting it repaired?

    Re exey x cheap saws though I don't think the cheaper option is as good, although I own an ozito sliding mitre saw($179) which cuts timber just as good as a $1500 makita. Only thing I did when I bought it was upgrade to a reputable blade. Maybe you could just but a crappy saw and upgrade the chain or bar on it?

    Chainsaws

    Fully cut now mate, in awl honesty, Total Tools bought and 4 weeks later sooking to them has found a 5th & 6th ++ weeks pass by dealing with a Telstra familiar hotline handball now!

    EDIT: The lovely young lady @TT gave me the honest rundown that Bosch were even worse than Makita for even their internal communication?

    talking with a colleague at work, apparently it also has a very high sillica content which is obviously no good for your blades!
