Then there's the Makita and other's timber saw. Battery that.

I think its just a matter of time for the bigger cordless saws to get to the market. The Makita wormdrive, oK,ok, Hypiod geared saw I tested cross cut a 4x6 with ease. I even pushed it and it didn't breath. I am sure it has enough to rip through a couple of 2x6, 16s. Honestly, I am not sure of the run time on something like that, if I have to rip over 10-12 pieces, I would get my cord out and set it up to cut on the floor. Now, if I have to climb up the ladder to cut something, you bet I will grab the battery wormdrive just so the cord wouldn't hung up.
I have a big 10" Skillsaw for large timbers. That's a great tool, if they has a battery operated one back then, I would have bought it without thinking twice about it.
