“Ok the only reason i bought this saw was to saw up some wood. yup. We chopped some leylandi down in the garden and wanted it sawn up for wood burner. I had dabbled with the idea of getting a small chainsaw, but to be honest the thought petrified me. After some research - and reading about chainsaw deaths ! I found that some people use a reciprocating saw. So I bought one, from powertool world (easily the best price). I also bough the makita 20cm blades too as they were recommended elsewhere. I am more than pleased with purchase. It has gone to the top of my list of fave power tools. I was easily able to cut up the logs with it. One small caveat though. What you gain in safety, you lose in effectiveness. So I am not going to pretend that the saw does this as effectively as a chainsaw (Nothing cuts wood as effectively) and I also found that I kept having to charge the battery again and again for the really big logs I was cutting (more on this later). I did buy the bigger 5amp 18v battery as my 3amp was not cutting it (no pun intended). I would say it lasts about 3 times longer and would definitely recommend. I have absolutely no regrets about buying, the saw is instant cutout when you release the trigger and the pain of having to recharge far outweighs the danger of operating a very dangerous tool. Also, to be fair, it is only the fact that I have been cutting up 20cm+ logs that I needed to keep recharging, i don;t expect to be doing this often. All in all a brilliant purchase.”

“This is a great piece of kit. I have logs that I need cutting up. I really,really did not want to get a chainsaw. This feels like the next best thing. The Makita DJR186Z is excellent, like all Makita tools it is well build, quality and sturdy. These guys also had it a at a bargain price (nearly half the price of screwfix !). The only drawback so far is that I have been using the 3.0A lithium battery to power it. It clearly is not enough. On a big log, I literally got one cut before having to charge. I have just ordered a 5 amp battery. To be clear, i don't blame the saw. The batteries can only do so much and sawing through a log clearly takes a lot of energy. For me. I would rather have the convenience of cordless and not having to deal with chainsaw, than having to recharge the battery a lot. More than happy with purchase.”

“Exactly as described. Great quality. Supplied blades are short but good quality. Would recommend immediately buying a larger range of longer blades. Delivered very quickly.”
