I thought some might be interested in a review of my new toy, a Makita
DUC306Z - a 36V top handled saw.

I'd give a similarly good report of the DUC353Z which is a rear-handled
14" saw, 100g heavier, claims to be equivalent to a 30cc two-stroke
engine, I've never touched a petrol chainsaw, so can't compare, but it
can easily do a cut the full length of the bar in green wood.
