The best of Makita's NEW Power tools at World of concrete 2020

What happens here

A side-by-side comparison is set up between a Makita XCU04 16-inch bar chainsaw (battery-powered) and a Stihl MS170 chainsaw (gas-powered). Two operators, Roman and the host, compete to make two clean cuts through a thick wooden beam. Despite the host's efforts, the battery-powered Makita chainsaw consistently outperforms the gas-powered Stihl.

Goal: Demonstrate that Makita's battery-powered chainsaws can outperform traditional gas-powered models
