Professional Tool Reviews for Pros
The Makita 18V 12-Inch Top Handle Chainsaw has a compact form factor that’s aimed toward Pro arborists and utility tradesmen, but brings cordless convenience to the job. But if cordless power was ever a concern before, Makita claims that the XCU10 actually cuts faster than a 22cc gas chainsaw.
The Makita 18V Cordless 12-Inch Top Handle Chainsaw features an outer rotor brushless motor and direct drive system to provide power equivalent to a 22cc gas engine. Makita also claims that this battery-powered design provides cutting speeds up to 20% faster than gas power.
The cordless design not only provides power and speed, but also efficiency. Using a single 18V 4.0Ah battery, Makita claims that the XCU10 can make up to 150 cuts in 2×2 cedar. When you come up on some thicker or harder material, you can engage the Torque Boost Mode only when you need it to generate extra power.
Makita is releasing the XCU10 Cordless 12-Inch Top Handle Chainsaw as both a bare tool (XCU10Z) and a kit (XCU10SM1). As a kit, it comes with a 4.0Ah battery and a dual-port charger. Makita hasn’t released any information about a firm release date or pricing information yet, though we will make updates to this article as we learn more.
Makita backs the chainsaw with a 3-year warranty. To learn more, visit Makita by clicking here.
