Ok, say I get the 64cc Dolmar / Makita.
Is there a better choice for my smaller / lighter limbing saw than the 346XP?
My 2 cents worth. I have 14 saws, some big some small, some in between. I have Homelite, Stihl, Poulan, Jonsered, and a Makita 6401. The Makita is the saw that ALWAYS goes with. I might take another one or two, but the Makita ALWAYS goes. I love that saw. I have used it to cut up a 48 inch diameter Oak and to trim twigs.
I might suggest renting one from Home Depot for a day, price is reasonable usually, and get a feel for it. Truth is that most all of the saws mentioned are good saws, I just have my preference, and it is the Makita.
Also, I guess that I don't get the difference of "sold by Amazon, and sold through Amazon". I'm pretty darn sure that the gift card will work either way.
No matter what you decide, I hope that you will continue to post, and also when you get what ever you get, unless you post a picture IT DIDN"T HAPPEN.
Best of luck and have a great Thanksgression holiday. JR
