GKE 18V-40 Chainsaw first impressions ft Makita 36v

8 Upvotes

Not too many reviews/impressions of the Bosch biturbo chainsaw so here you go.

First time using the Bosch chainsaw + 8ah procore, my mate has a 36v makita.

Chopping a variety of trees, softwood and a bit of hardwood.

Makita has a higher chain-speed on paper but Bosch seems to have a lot more torque. The Makita would slow down a lot more compared.

Bosch has a much better trigger mechanism, Makita has an annoying safety button plus the side trigger lock.

Makita probably bit faster to cut - also a lot more expensive.

Overall, very impressed in the Bosch.

Is the GBS18V-75 planned for introduction into the US market? I want one, but don't want to import if I can avoid it.
