Bought Laura a couple of the Makita 36v saws (2x 18v battery)... she can't pull a gas saw very well.
For what they are (emergency stuff)... I must say I am impressed with Makita.
Test drove myself on a blown down pine... 10" or so at breast height. Bucked up the entire tree to 18s on one set of batteries.
I trust Makita.
