Makita 196741-5 Saw Chain Set Duc353, Multicolour

Product Information

No matter what you’re hoping to achieve with a chainsaw (other than heavy-duty tree felling, for which you’d need a good petrol chainsaw anyway), this one won’t let you down. However, the word “slightly” is key here – don’t go overboard and attach a 50cm bar on, as you’ll just end up burning the motor out. The chainsaw also has a variable speed trigger, which allows for easy control of the blade speed depending on the task at hand. To start with, it has an electric chain brake that’ll stop the chain from whipping back and slicing into you should it ever de-rail. The DUC353 has some important safety features which include an anti-kickback brake which stops the chain almost instantly, a large spike bumper to grip the work piece plus a lock off lever and auto power off function to prevent accidental starting.

It also has an adjustable automatic chain lubrication feature that keeps the chain perfectly oiled for whatever you may be doing. Not only was it my favourite out of all the cordless chainsaws that I tested, but I would choose this one over a petrol chainsaw too. The Makita DUC353 is also equipped with a noise and vibration reduction system, making it more comfortable to use for extended periods of time.Just hold it steady and it does all of the hard work for you – it really couldn’t have performed any better than it did.
