The verdictOur take

The DHS900 is Makita's big twin-18V saw, a 235mm blade cutting 85mm at 90° and 61mm at 45°, with a bevel to 60°. That takes it through 75mm joists and posts in one pass, which no 190mm saw here can. The 40V HS009G is the same saw on XGT.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
