5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool around the yard., May 22, 2004

This review is from: Makita UC120DWD Commercial Grade 4-1/2-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

We have used ours for 3 years now and it has to be the best tools we have for yard work. It will actually cut down trees (small ones). It trims, it de-limbs, cuts firewood, clears brush, cooks dinner (grin). We were a little skeptical when we bought it but it has turned into one of our most used tools. It works as described and more. It is also very tough (It gets dropped a lot) and has never failed. We bought an extra battery and recommend that for long days in the yard. The NiMH battery lasts over an hour of heavy use. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

I love this Makita! It is not too heavy and I am able to do an incredible amount of work with it before there is any sign of low battery charge. I have a 7-acre property so being able to easily carry this around to do spot cleanup has come in very handy.

Easy to handle and so light. Great for those hard to reach places like under fence wires, beats using hand loppers! I am worn out just about the time the battery is run down. :)

Adding to this review...just came in to order a chain for this saw. Hot and sweaty...August 14 2011 still running strong. Love this little chainsaw!!! Often saw stuff bigger by cutting wedges or doing what I call a beaver cut. :)
