Looking for a decent cordless chainsaw

Stihl msa200 with the big battery is great for up to 12" wood.
Used mine for cutting oak sleepers and other large woodwork projects.
Battery lasts all day.

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

Well, this is the problem- all my other cordless tools are Hitachi, however I am in the market for a site radio, cordless SDS de

If it's only for small diameter stuff you might be better off with a battery (Makita) reciprocating saw - saber as or sawsall, you know - there's a crowd in America that make silky-style curved pruning blades for them, I think they're called Forest Farm. I'l try and find the vid of their product. The "naked" Makita saber saw would be much much cheaper than Stihl or Husq battery chainsaws.

Sorry they called Lee Valley.

Thanks, but definitely needs to be a chainsaw- inevitably il end up using it for cutting big stuff too

Buy the biggest batteries you can afford.

Anybody tried any of the EGO battery powered stuff. We’d a demo of the whole range, strimmer, mower, chainsaw, blower and it seemed great on the day but would like to know if anyone had tried it for longer?

Great battery set-up, charging system and massive range of options.

Never heard of it Gareth.  Where’s it from?

I have the Stihl 160 and really like it. Sits in the wagon ready for instant use, battery still good in it's third year now. Won't replace a petrol saw but has it's niche.

Honda rebadged it but are stopping selling it. Don’t really know why. They didn’t have all the different tools either I don’t think
