Hi Duncan,

 

As far as I'm aware, my 5121 has dogs but no cats

[Dazonit]

I like the look and price of the makita 5121 I might have a go at one myself can you get a smaller bar and chain for the saw Anyone else using one or had any exspeariance of this saw

[TurtleWoods72]

Only me it seems since it's the wrong colour for these pro guys to be seen cutting about holding.

 

Yes it's a bloody bargain, well made and good value.

 

Chainsawbars.com have bars ranging from 13" to 20" for the Dolmar equivalent. Knock yourself out. Duncan might be along to tell you where he ordered his from in a minute.

 

Mine was from Toolstop where using a promo code (expired now sadly) it was twenty quid less than he paid, delivered.

Cheers mate

I ended up ordering a Makita 5121/45 promo for £332 inclusive of VAT and delivery, seemed too good a deal to pass up so it's winding it's way to me for Monday. Already have somebody mildly interested in the MS181, I'm guessing that'll sell easy enough.

 

Were from mate

Am I right in saying the only difference is the profi model has a magnesium body and the other alu?
