Yes, you know, like how cars are battery-powered nowadays?

Anyway, without the snark, the newer electric chainsaws are perfect for the vast majority of homeowners who aren't felling old-growth forest in their backyards but rather sawing up a few trees or branches every so often. Unless you have acres of farmland and forest, the heavy duty Stihls and equivalent are overkill, and since you can use the batteries that power other cordless tools in the same brand family, it's a nice synergy.

Just wish I could get the Milwaukee saw on sale. The lack of warranty here isn't worth taking on a new brand for one tool.

If you get this 14" bar, could you replace it with a better and longer bar, say an Oregon 16" or 18"?

The reviews on Amazon mentioned the housing is the same on the 14" and 16" bar models (obviously do your own research). Another mentioned it didn't generate enough power for an 18" bar.

I'm buying to sell the batteries and have a close to net $0 cost

Yep this...mine does fine have taken down multiple trees on my property and it does stall out a bit if you really push it. The longer the bar the more it will struggle in general.

Thanks! I was holding out for the 16" bar version but I think I'll try this out as is and maybe upgrade to 16" Oregon bar later.

He thinks that everything on Woot is used... more than likely these are fully refurbished, damaged box, overstock or customer returns

Some manufacturers don't honor warranties when the item isn't sold by an official partner. Woot isn't an official partner of anyone since they buy a lot of their stock from retailers trying to liquidate. At least this was the case before they were owned by amazon

Not who you were accusing of being high but I have regularly bought kits and sold a pair of 5Ah for 120 locally. So 240 for four. I'm really tempted to do it again here.

I caved. Woot! also appears on many cashback websites if you want to make the deal slicker.

No Makita warranty kills this for me. One defective battery would eat up the 100.00 savings

Agreed, the Woot 90 day, vs Makita's 3 year is quite a stark contrast.
