Chainsaw Repair

I have been waiting for those to 'come across' for a few years now - had some positive reviews on another site.  Bosch also has some available only in Europe

I have been using the Oregon 40V saw for 2+ years, and have tried cutting with the STIHL at demos.  Picked up and 'ran' a Makita top handle at a tool show - could be nice for guys in a tree.

Seeing more and more of these, along with 'families' of OPE, such as string trimmers, hedge trimmers, etc. that use the same batteries.

Makita - can run on a 36V battery, or (2) 18V batteries, if you already have some of their 18V carpentry tools:

Uses 3/8 low profile, narrow kerf (Oregon type 90) chain.

My neighbor across the highway has a rear handle 435 with .325 NK chain and it cuts a lot better than that 435T

Jim wouldnt those be 2 different 435 motors.
The 435T is a redmax gz3500t 35.23cc     1.94 hp.
The husky 435 rear handle is Sweden husky made 40.9cc     2.2 hp.

You're probably correct. I thought it was a Strato but it could also be a Husqvarna made motor. You've run it and looked at it under the covers.
