Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 16" Chain Saw (model DUC400PT2 5.0Ah Kit). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, this brushless chainsaw is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 30cc gas chain saw. This chainsaw has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed.
