Zombie defence pocket chainsaw
Added 2021-08-22 02:06:18 +0000 UTCThis is one of the most exciting things I've found on eBay in a while. Anyone who uses a chainsaw regularly will know that they carry quite significant hazards due to the aggressive fast moving blades.
So here's a little pocket one with no secondary safety interlock to ensure maximum risk.
On a plus note, this cheap tool comes with a seemingly acceptable pair of rechargeable batteries and matching charger. It's also a fun collectible for those of us who like dangerous little things.

It's much faster and easier than a handsaw. Also gratifyingly dangerous, although I have managed to injure myself with unpowered handsaws too.

2021-08-24 16:18:09 +0000 UTCI'm not sure, but you can get clone Makita batteries. Some of the listings did mention Makita, but sometimes they just copy and paste random strings of words.

2021-08-23 03:32:42 +0000 UTCThat definitely isn't a Makita style battery, it's much more like Black & Decker. Some of the others I've seen on Banggood have Makita style batteries.

2021-08-22 19:59:56 +0000 UTCThere is plenty of room inside the back top of the body to place a recessed switch (within thumb distance) that could act as a “you must push this too to activate this tool” button. Perhaps revisit this with a 3D printed mod to make this a tad safer?

2021-08-22 16:04:28 +0000 UTCDoes the battery fit Makita as I have other Makita tools??

2021-08-22 11:27:07 +0000 UTCOK I ordered one a couple weeks ago but did not find one with UK plug only Australian/euro/ American so as a cheapskate ordered the USA version as £10 cheaper £ 30 Inc delivery. Thought it might be safer over the petrol and electric versions but now seeing Clive that was a mistake. Well once it arrives I can say I have a full collection of chainsaw for the Zombie Apocalypse.

2021-08-22 09:31:25 +0000 UTCI think only department of un-health and lack of safety would be dissapointed with this.

2021-08-22 07:07:12 +0000 UTCClive, have you taken one of those variable speed triggers apart? I've wondered what's in them.

2021-08-22 02:29:49 +0000 UTCI have one similar but it does have a safety switch like a full size chainsaw. It works good enough for me.
