Small battery pruning saw.

Im happy with the 18v makita topper

 

Ok its slow on any thing over 3" but still its very useful.

 

 

 

The new 40v makita probably a bit step up  i bet but means  a whole new battery platform....

From what I could work out the 40v is a little bit bigger than the 18v, and it cuts more like the 36v. Overall more comparable to the Echo saw.

 

Seriously thought about that one, also thinking of a battery hedge trimmer so whether to stick with 18v batteries I've got or move to 40v so ready for saw later.

Another vote for the 36v Makita here, you already have the batteries. Try to use matched batteries ( same age/condition, same size, or you'll get poor performance ) It has its annoying little traits, but you soon get used to pressing the button every time before you cut. With a sharp chain, it's surprising what it will comfortably cut. 

I know it's not the best, but it's by no means the worst.
