Rating : - The Little Saw That Could
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.
