 The Little Saw That Could October 2, 2008

I was quite dissapointed when I first received the saw. It quickly tired on small branches and would not allow me to apply any pressure or it would stall out. I called Makita customer service and returned it for repair. They replaced the DC motor and some gears and now it does what it is supposed to do. I love it for trimming branches on trees. I use it on my Christmas tree farm alot to square off trunks after customers cut them down. The extension works well but I do feel the product is a bit pricey.
 Makita 4-1/2 lacks power and speed June 1, 2008
Duane Harens (Honaunau, Hawaii)
This product is lite and easy to handle. But I am very disappointed in the lack of speed and power. I know it is a little battery powered saw, but I expected more from the saw and from a Makita product. Also, there's no built in chain oiler. If it would be a $50 to $100 product it would be fine. This is a big purchase for me at over $250. Not worth the money!!
 bought it and returned it. May 23, 2008

Here is the deal straight up. This chainsaw can cut SMALL limbs shrubs etc. Its not going to cut Firewood or a real tree down. There is a metallic tip on the end you cant cut real logs even if you wanted to. Again great for SMALL trees, limbs etc. Not a REAL chainsaw.
Excellent addition to my tool shed November 18, 2007

This tool is an absolute gem. I have several acres of forrested land and at times the upkeep is pretty high - I have an 18" gas chain saw but needed something smaller, and easier to manage for the smaller jobs. After a lot of research I came across the Makita but was at first put off by the price of $240. After thinking about it I went ahead and bought it a year ago and have continued to be delighted by it.
The tool is well built, cuts through wood very well and feels safe. I use it on limbs of up to 6" and it deals with them effortlessly. I'd love to give it 5 stars as it really deserves it, but the one issue I have is removing the battery. It's very hard to push in both of the release buttons, and my wife often asks me to do it. I don't know if this is typical, it's not a show stopper, more of an inconvenience, that said it would not stop me from buying it again - though based on it's performance to date I doubt that will be something I have to think about for a good few years.
I've really put it through its paces and it continues to exceed my expectations. The battery life is not as good as others have indicated, but again, I place much higher demands on it that I image most homeowners do.
MAKITA CHAIN SAW REVIEW November 10, 2007

THIS MAKITA KIT HAS PERFORMED SUPERBURBLY! IN TYPICAL MAKITA FASHION, THE KIT IS EXTREMELY WELL BUILT. THE BATTERY CHARGE REMAINS STRONG AND I HAVE CUT LOGS UP TO 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER WITH NO PROBLEM. ONE SUGGESTION I WOULD MAKE...PURCHASE A SECOND BATTERY (WHICH I DID) TO HAVE ONE CHARGING WHILE THE OTHER IS IN USE. I USE THE SAW ON A FARM WHERE ELECTRIC POWER IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND OUR GAS POWERED SAWS ARE OVERKILL.
YOU WON'T GO WRONG PURCHASING A MAKITA!
