Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. I decided to test the Cobra cordless chainsaw to the limit and cut the trunk lengthways. It struggled, but it did it and logging the entire tree was just two full charges of the battery (withstanding the Makita was used to fell the tree). We used the Cobra cordless chainsaw to rip a trunk down lengthways and it really held up well – the Makita wasn’t much better at this believe it or not For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Cordless tools are quieter, provide the power homeowners need for most mid weight jobs, and remove the need for dangerous power cables everywhere. I would predict in the next ten years cordless will have completely taken over as the prices will continue to drop on mass usage. Cordless chainsaw safety first – boots, trousers, and a sharp chainsaw Largest cut on a cordless chainsaw: Makita DUC405Z Twin 18v / 36v LXT Li-Ion Cordless Brushless Chainsaw 400mm Remember cordless chainsaws come with batteries separately sold and that also includes chargers. Whilst some batteries are more expensive than others, it’s always been my experience that the best battery value for money is found with Makita. I know plenty who like Ryobi too, but I don’t think they match Makita who I would almost say fall into a commercial come home use slot. Many tradesman swear by Makita and have done so for years. I am one of them. The other thing I don’t like is the oil flow. When positioned correctly it can leak. Given this hasn’t just happened to me I would assume it’s a problem they need to fix. Most powerful cordless chainsaw: Makita DUC405Z Twin 18v / 36v LXT Li-Ion Cordless Brushless Chainsaw 400mm [Personally tested for two years and proven]The Greenworks Cordless Chainsaw GD40CS40 has a nice all around performance. The batteries are pretty cheap, it’s a big 16 inch bar with a 3/8 inch pit that will cut decent sized logs. There’s no complaints on the cut power but I wouldn’t put a 2 amp battery on this, it won’t last ten minutes! So make sure if you’re going to buy this model invest in a 4 amp battery to give a longer lasting cut and gives off similar vibes to the Makita DUC405Z Not only that, I liked the safety features too. The bar needs to be brought forward to engage the motor as well as turned on. It is very difficult to actually press the switch on by accident which goes without saying is a very good thing. The Makita DUC355Z cuts an 11 inch log easily and to be unbiased I measure the shortest point -the other way is 12 inches

Where the Cobra wasn’t so good, was the horizontal cuts. The weight of the machine (and the hefty battery) really did make the arms work hard, far harder than the lighter and more powerful Makita. The Cobra wasn’t so good on horizontal cuts due to the weight and balance as well as the slower cut rate meant holding sideways longer Best alternative if you don’t like the Dewalt: Ryobi OCS1830 18 V 30 cm Bar ONE+ Cordless Brushless Chain Saw So before I get going I need to show you the difference in power between these two chainsaws. Cutting into a decent bit of treated and dry timber you can clearly see the power difference but a little bit later on in the video just how good the Cobra is for logging and how someone who has never used a chainsaw before got to grips with it easily:

So I’ve decided to go for a budget model up against it so you can see the difference – the CS35040VZ 40v Cordless Chainsaw. I brought down this serious tree using my trusty Makita and Cobra combined: I used my Makita DUC355Z Twin 18v 36v Cordless Chainsaw and tested the Cobra cordless chainsaw on this tree
