Makita DUC150

Nope the guard is 100% coming off before its first job.

 

Note the Fakita, which apart from having a bulky motor sticking out the side, is actually pretty good. Its only a basic DC motor but it feels to have decent power and chain speed. Cant remember when I last used it.

Have you used yet?

 

Been considering that XGT saw

Its not been out yet, I'm getting quite irritated at DX for not delivering my new ladders, so cant do a small prune job I had lined up. I will hopefully get to test it on Mon or Tues.

 

The guard is off, its three screws then an E clip from the inside.

 

I got mine from PowerToolWorld who are now out of stock and put the price up to £400!

As far as I know, theres no stock left in the UK.

I've also ordered one of these 18v Fakita clones as it looks like a better version of the DUC150, if it really is a brushless motor it may have more power than the original. While its a 1/4" mini chain, I do prefer those narrower bars. Arrives Monday, will put a mini review up if its any good - if the motor is rubbish it will be going straight back..
