Looking for a decent cordless chainsaw

[Matthew Storrs]

As the title- I fancy a cordless saw. Main uses will be on and off type work- fencing- hedgelaying- general farting about.

 

i have pro saws for proper work so just want something durable and reasonably capable of the above work, preferably with good battery life.

not necessarily  fussed about traditional chainsaw brands as long as they work well. Any suggestions? 

Thanks

Yep- just looking at the Makita. I like the fact that I can share batteries with other tools.

Well someone had better say something sensible soon cos Iv got nearly £700 worth of Makita cordless tools in my shopping basket so far and having had a few might click buy now,  figure I must as well make the most of the batteries and get a load of other tools at the same time!

A review on the Makita, a bloke said he got through 5x 5ah batteries doing an afternoons work. 1 battery lasted 30x cuts. Hmm

if you already have a load of makita tools that you can interchange then its a no brainer.

 

Otherwise I have used Stihl and Husky, Stihl have the upperhand IMO
