Makita DUC353Z BATTERY chainsaw verses Stihl MS181petrol saw, power and run time test!

I was very dubious of a battery chainsaw...but I read a good review of a Makita battery saw...and managed to pick one up for £159 (bare) so thought why not! Heres how I got on and critically, how long the 2x5AH LXT batteries lasted. Fair to say; amazed. Awesome bit of kit!! 100% recommend! Compared to the Stihl petrol saw, its about the same length, width, height, bar length is the same, tool-less chain tensioner is the same, the Makita is marginally lighter but all in, pretty similar spec, this is just a straight fight, battery verses petrol! The makita has more torque than the stihl and never struggled once even with the larger logs I tested it on. 150 cuts on 2x5AH batteries is pretty awesome! If you are a home user...and potentially if you are a professional and have more than one set of batteries, this is a fantastic saw. I definitely will be swapping to battery, im a fully blown convert!
