Default Dangerous little tool

MAKITA BUC122Z 18V LXT LITHIUM-ION 115mm CHAINSAW BODY ONLY

The other 18v makita tools are actually quiet powerfull, as long as you get the 3.0 mah batts not the 1.5s.

I suspect it would have little kickback because they would not have the rotating mass of a large flywheel, but being so small and quiet they would surely be seen as a toy and probably be more dangerous than a 200T, unless they had a safety interlock on the front handle.

115mm cutting capacity, that's not much over 4"

It's got a little thing on the end of the bar to prevent cutting with the nose-top.

Homelite used to put those kickback protectors on saws at one stage.

Someone is gonna lose a few fingers when they try to force the bar down using their hand to push on the nose guard.

Probably has already happened with the smaller gas chain saw, like the McCulloch Mini Mac. Lots of stupid people out there. Bruce.
