Chainsaws

[PeeBee]

I also have one of the Makita 36V battery saws. Great little saw, will happily cut say 100 - 125mm hardwood, but you cant push it, or the battery life suffers badly. I have 2 batteries for the saw in use and 6 spares, plus carry the charger just in case. Its a great little saw for a couple of nights camp fire wood collection, spectacular in the snow as mo hassles getting it to start forst thing in the morning after its been freezing over night, light weight, cheap chains, highly rate it as the back up for a weekend camp saw and back up to the 231 on 4wd trips. I think @stevec first mentioned it for use on his remote trips. WE used it with success on a really tight set of tracks last year trying to fit @MB barge through the bush and its so light and easy to handle that its akin to a pruning saw perhaps. I looked at the Stihl rechargeable but the price was twice the makita at least and couldn't justify it based on the amount of use it would get. I understand the Stihl rechargeable is very popular for contractors doing maintenance works around nursing homes and hospitals.
