Makita UC004GZ 40V Max XGT Brushless 14″ Chainsaw w/ WetGuard – Tool Only

Built for modern tree care professionals and jobsite crews, the Makita UC004GZ is a 40V Max XGT cordless top handle chainsaw that delivers serious cutting performance with none of the emissions, fuel hassles, or noise of gas models. This compact, battery-powered saw features a 14″ bar and chain, brushless motor, and Makita’s WetGuard™ weather-resistant construction, making it ideal for pruning, limbing, and in-tree applications—even in damp or unpredictable conditions.

This model is part of the XGT® battery system, engineered for high-demand tools, and offers a high chain speed of 4,880 FPM—comparable to a 32cc gas saw—while weighing in under 10 lbs. With a variable speed trigger, electric brake, and tool-free maintenance features, the UC004GZ provides both power and precision for arborists, groundskeepers, and forestry crews who need reliable control while working at height or in the field.
