In all fairness, for their power to weight all battery saws tend to be a bit on the heavy side.

 

Interesting to see how it stacks up against the msa300 and the husky 550i when that comes out

This has all the weights listed

That is interesting! The UC002 is a bit big for light pruning work and that looks more like a 2511 sized. Hopefully they kept all the power and just repackaged it.

Nope it runs well enough on the 2.5Ah tho I've not taken the 2.5 up a tree or flattened it on the saw, it performs near enough the same with either.

 

My 002 was giving some problems today, repeatedly stalling out on a 10" stem of lime, chain might meed a sharpen or, thinking about it, bits of tool lanyard wrapped around the sprocket 🫣 Usually I clip and tie the lanyard for snedding on the ground, but I didnt tie it the day before, quite irritated about that.

Kram, why would you even use a lanyard when working on the ground with a saw ??

Also, do you have an idea when those Makita saws are coming out?

I couldn't get your pdf link to work -I'm interested to see the specs.

Thanks

Added the pdf below but the basic specs are here

I dont like removing lanyards from my climbing saws as I have them girth hitched. While I could use a ground saw, I dont generally bring them just for light snedding.

 

I bought a pair of these, appear to be made in UK and look good.
