I've got the older version of the chainsaw attachment for my 18x2 powerhead. After 3 seasons of hard use it's never let me down. Performance wise, it's honestly one of the most impressive makita tools I own. However, just like this one. It pisses bar oil everywhere.

I had to make a hard decision over the weekend. bought one of these power head kits that came with the brushcutter, polesaw and pole hedger as well as extension for a very good price. i knew in my heart the 40v would be better but we have so many 18v batteries i decided to go for the 18x2. bought it to replace our AEG 58v system that sucks lol..

The reality is Makita we’re FAR too conservative with their 18x2 tools in how much current they draw from the batteries. They literally have twice the cells and twice the contacts to pull power, no excuse as to why they couldn’t have literally doubled the power of the 18v models. Now the 40v come out into a more competitive market, so they have to put out. Had the 18x2 pushed the envelope back when they were introduced, they would have blown the market away completely. This was Makita’s race to lose as no one else had a battery system even close, and they lost. 40v is a completely new architecture, so as an existing Makita user what incentive do I have to stick with the brand? XGT needs desperately to have a true compact battery option based on pouch cells too. Lugging around an impact driver with a 10 cell 18650 pack is not fun, and that’s currently the smallest option in XGT. LXT offers 5 cell packs, though only 2Ah which is a joke. Come on Makita, get with the times and support your loyal 18v customers. I’m not buying into XGT, to me that’s just a slap in the face since you refuse to update your 18v platform with newer tech batteries to keep it competitive. Forced/planned obsolescence.

This is the exact video I was looking for. I already have 18V stuff...and was really wanting that saw, so was debating whether to go for 18V or 40V for that...the 36V seems pointless. The 18V seems slightly lighter....I'd need to get a new battery and charger for 40V and it seems heavier....im split between which way to go....is the extra cost really worth it at this point...

You become invested in a brand to share batteries, rather than have the best tool for you (regardless of brand) and several battery shapes/chargers + cost. I wonder how this has effected take up of people swapping from fuel/corded and brand loyalty.
