Makita DUC258Z 18V LXT Brushless 25cm (10 inch) Top Handle Chainsaw - Tool Only

The Makita DUC258Z is a cordless top-handle chainsaw engineered for professional arborists and demanding tree care. Its brushless motor delivers high chain speed and efficient cutting, while the 25 cm (10") guide bar provides excellent maneuverability in tight canopies. Powered by Makita's 18V LXT battery platform, this tool offers the freedom of cordless operation without sacrificing performance.

Advantages

The DUC258Z features a tool-less chain tensioning system for quick adjustments in the field. The automatic chain lubrication ensures consistent oiling, extending chain and bar life. A soft start function and electric brake enhance safety and control, while the variable speed trigger allows precise cutting. The brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently, maximizing runtime per battery charge. The top-handle design provides superior balance and control when working at height or in confined spaces.
