Andrew , could the Makita saws also be made in Norway and be " re badged " Husqvarnas ?

One thing I've noticed is several Makita cordless and corded saws seem to share the same toolless tensioning system, but this is the only Husqvarna I've seen with it

Well I've also just got hold of Makita's baby 18V cordless rear-handle saw, the DUC357. It is not advertised as having an inertia brake by Makita UK but I did find Makita Canada mention on their product page that it has one. Low and behold I was easily able to get the brake to come on with the nose-drop test for the DUC357.

Definitely some mixed messages from the manufacturers.

. Perhaps I need to be more "violent" in my nose-drop test, as has been suggested.

 I wouldn't be slamming my bar tip into anything to test if the break comes on as you could damage the bar mounts as they are into plastic let alone what you have just done to your nice new sharp chain. the makita web site only says this saw has a break it doesn't say what type it is . so i would just take it as a normal kick back applied break and not a inertia one.
