Battery chainsaws are not as powerful as gas chainsaws, but they are still powerful enough to do most jobs around the house. They are also much quieter than gas chainsaws, so if you are looking for a chainsaw to use in your backyard, a battery chainsaw would be a good option.
There's no doubt that Stihl chainsaws are some of the best on the market. They're durable, powerful, and easy to use. But are they worth the money? For the most part, yes. Stihl chainsaws are a great investment for anyone who needs a reliable, high-quality chainsaw. They're not the cheapest option, but they're definitely worth the extra money. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line chainsaw that will last for years, Stihl is a great choice.
An electric chainsaw is a powerful tool that can be used to cut down a tree. However, there are a few things to consider before using this tool. First, make sure that the tree is not too big or too small. Second, make sure that the tree is not too close to power lines. Third, make sure that the chainsaw is properly lubricated.
Yes, electric chainsaws work well. They are lightweight and easy to maneuver, which makes them ideal for cutting through branches and logs. They also create less noise and vibrations than gas-powered chainsaws, making them more comfortable to use.

So far, have used the saw to cut down a "dead" Almond tree over 30 years old. Dead wood is harder than soft moist live trees. the base of the tree has a circumference of about 24". The chainsaw did a good job of cutting through everything. I wore out before the battery, but I let the battery cool down and charged it before each secession. I also have a Husqvarna Rancher which does the same job much faster, and smoother, but also broken at the moment. the battery operated Greenworks is much slower and cuts rougher on this hard wood. But gets the job done. I really bought this chainsaw for light tree trimming, branches up to say 3"-4" and it does fine for that, no issues. The only gripe I have is the chain loosens quickly and you have to tighten several times each session. Although the saw never bucked on me, I do believe it will on other users with less experience. Because it cuts slow and rough. It is a little heavy because of the large battery, which makes it a little tiresome making cuts overhead. But I do recommend for anyone not cutting whole trees down as a steady diet. It is great for quick trim jobs that I have to do every year without having to break out the bigger heavier Husqvarna. To top it off I paid the lowest price I could find anywhere, fast shipping and good service.

Excellent chainsaw, well worth the money.I used this chain saw on a tree that was about 12 inches in diameter; it took all day, but it did a fantastic job. When using this, make sure to keep some engine oil on hand because it consumes it like it's going out of style. It's still going strong after 2.5 to 3 cords of wood that I cut.With continuous usage, the battery lasts approximately an hour, but I didn't mind because I already had another battery from my B

I frequently purchase items from Amazon, but I rarely write reviews unless they significantly meet or surpass my expectations. My expectations were easily surpassed by this saw. A BOSS, THAT IS!Years ago, I used a Home Depot-purchased, less expensive Ryobi chainsaw to the very limit. I'm not criticizing Ryobi (or even Home Depot for selling me the Ryobi chain saw). Both businesses operate well. And the Ryobi was a good value for the price and all I was able to cut with it.But regrettably, at the end of last summer (2017), I was faced with a project that my outdated Ryobi was ill-equipped to complete, so I bought this Husqvarna 460 Rancher from Amazon. I haven't used my Ryobi chainsaw since I used this Husqvarna 460 Rancher to chop and fell nearly 40 trees, including large hardwoods, and I doubt I ever will!Continue reading to learn my pros and disadvantages after extensively utilizing and breaking in my Husqvarna 460 Rancher.PROS:- Extremely trustworthy (starts easy, starts every time)- It has all the power necessary to cut even the toughest hardwoods, yet it does it with significantly less vibration, backlash, etc. than my old Ryobi.- When compared to my cheaper Ryobi chainsaw, the build quality is remarkable. EVERYTHING (including the housing, the lids on the oil and gas tanks for the bar and chain, the chain tensioner, the bar itself, etc.) is constructed and assembled with far higher quality components and care. I envision myself utilizing this Husqvarna saw for years (maybe decades) to come after all the trees I've already dropped and felled with it.- The safety features on this saw are faultless, conveniently located, and built to take into account typical human faults.- This saw's power to price ratio is almost unbeatable! I thoroughly investigated this transaction. I gave Stihl, Echo, and other options significant consideration. However, those other brands did not offer a discount as good as this 460 Rancher at the time I made my purchase, at least not at that time. And although though this saw cost almost twice as much as my previous Ryobi chain saw, I can now cut materials that my Ryobi was never designed to handle. I now process even the material that my Ryobi was capable of handling in half the time and don't feel as worn out and exhausted afterward.- Husqvarna is happy to sell you all of the accessories they have for this saw, but I really like that they developed a saw that employs bar bolt placements, sizes, mounts, etc. that are industry standard. enabling me to quickly take into account the abundance of aftermarket components, new chains, bars, etc. in the future.CONS (really, there is only one con):- This is NOT a small and/or light chain saw, despite the fact that it is SO MUCH MORE comfortable to use than my Ryobi chain saw, which is obviously less powerful and less expensive. In comparison to my little Ryobi, it is significantly heavier and bigger. Due to the Ryobi's decreased weight, smaller body, and ergonomically placed handles, my wife, who is diminutive, can operate it with ease. However, I believe that my wife would find this saw's weight and wider handle arrangement to be difficult.I'm not particularly big (5' 10", 210 lbs), so neither are a problem for me, but it is something to keep in mind for others. For what it's worth, despite having a larger and heavier body, I find using this saw to be much less tiring because of how easily it cuts, how little vibration it has (at least compared to my Ryobi), and how well it can manage kickback.

THE SECOND UPDATEI spoke with Oregon, and I was pleased with the quick and kind response. The company Oregon stands behind their goods. I received the replacement unit in the mail this past week after the item was delivered back to their facilities at no cost to me. I have chopped up about two cords of cedar, maple, and cherry thus far this weekend, once stepping on the chain but otherwise without any problems. One thing I've noticed about the new unit is that it uses a lot more lubricant, keeping the chain nice and shiny and almost dripping with moisture. If I run the saw long enough, it now appropriately slings lube off the chain. The initial saw I received seemed to be more conservative in its delivery of lubricant to the chain and would never truly "sling" any lubricant no matter how long I ran it, even though it was consistently removing lubricant from the reservoir. Final judgment:Pros: This electric saw is a beast that lets you cut huge circles using the entire length of the bar. hushed enough to avoid upsetting the neighbors. It is quite safe because to the clutch system. The cost of such a strong unit is currently unmatched. I haven't used the sharpening feature, but it seems like it would be quite useful. Excellent backing from Oregon.Cons: Low lubrication of the chain could potentially cause catastrophic failure of the saw; you ABSOLUTELY MUST KEEP IT LUBRICATED AND COOL. The side-mounted motor occasionally gets in the way and shifts the saw's center of gravity (CG) to the left of the bar, making it a little difficult to handle. To prevent chip buildup near the lubrication fill cap, the cap should have been placed on the left side.I enjoy this saw all around. The bottom line is that it works well when it does. Be aware that this saw is built of plastic and will melt essential components if it gets too hot if you are used to using gas saws that are mostly made of metal. I'm hoping Oregon will pay attention to this and make improvements in the upcoming model of this saw. For the time being, I am hoping that careful monitoring of operating temperatures and regular maintenance will be enough to give this device a useful service life.***UPDATE***My rating is being changed to one star. The chain kept coming off today after cutting approximately a cord of wood. When I opened it up, I was shocked to see that the plastic casing had melted, misaligning the chain and gear to the point where it now walks the chain straight off the gear. The chain was somewhat warm, but if you cut a lot of wood, it isn't all that unusual. I was able to take it up without gloves because it was cool enough. The chain seemed to be receiving plenty of lubrication, and as I had always kept the reservoir full, I knew it never ran out of lubricant. As directed, the chain was cold-tensioned. I'll be getting in touch with Oregon for warranty repair tomorrow, but according to the handbook, I'll have to pay for shipping, which will probably cost as much as the saw itself. I'll report the results when they are available, but for now I wish I had spent the money and chosen the Makita. You'll see that the Makita's gear hub housing is made of metal as opposed to plastic like the Oregon's. This, in my opinion, is a significant design issue with the Oregon.

I almost sent this back because I ordered it just as we discovered a friend could buy us a very comparable one for less money (she works at the store so she was giving it to us for wholesale price). That one, though, was a Husqvarna product. Despite the fact that our 2-year-old may be rather rough with his toys, we have previously purchased husqvarna power tool toys, and I haven't been that impressed by them. We ultimately decided to keep both because after we received this one in the mail, I really liked it. Compared to the Husqvarna, this one offers a number of more realistic features. It idles and features a draw string in addition to the blade guard. None of what the competition offers. Additionally, it comes with an extra chain that I don't intend to try to replace but I still thought it was cool. We unintentionally brought this to a family reunion where there were other kids, some of whom were a little bit older, and it was well received. The kids loved taking turns with it, and the parents found it to be amusing.

I adore this saw. I've always desired my own (I'm a married 60-year-old woman). I bought this for myself for Mother's Day because I get bored of waiting for my husband, son, or grandchild to help me. To ensure that I attached the chain correctly, I first viewed a YouTube video. After it came at my place, it took me less than 15 minutes to put it together and start cutting a log.It is quite simple to use because the weight is good, not too heavy, and uniformly distributed. Now that I've had so much fun, I want to explore my small city to see if anyone wants anything cut down.I also purchased a telescopic ladder for myself from Amazon, the Xtend

The first apparent query is, "Would I buy it again?" Absolutely is the short and simple response.I purchased the saw at the end of July 2017 to replace my 30 year old, comparable-sized Homelite that had decided it was no longer going to run. I've used the new Remington five times since then, for a total of an hour each time. I shut off the saw each time I finish a cut to remove the scraps (I do not let it idle on the ground).The saw has started easily each time when the cold-start instructions have been followed. One pull has been used to restart the task (I disregarded the manufacturer's restart instructions). When I use the saw, it feels balanced and cuts smoothly. For what I'm using it for, it has sufficient power. It has successfully completed all of my requests.I have a lot of trees in my yard as a homeowner, but I don't burn wood. I need a chainsaw to cut down dead trees and clean up storm damage. I often make cuts that are between 2 and 5 inches in diameter, which is almost always less than 8 inches.It concerned me that almost every brand had 10% or more one-star reviews while I was looking for a little chainsaw, including some of the "renowned" chainsaw brands, including this saw. I came to the conclusion that the Husqvarna I was considering and the Remington had practically identical evaluations, ranging from five stars to one star, so I chose the Remington because it was less expensive.By the way, based on the user manual, MTD, a sizable manufacturer of lawn and garden equipment with a wide range of brands, makes Remington. I was also interested in repair components. They are available on MTD's website, but it appears that no one else carries Remington parts. Although the Oregon replacement bar uses a different Oregon chain, it features an Oregon chain that is easily accessible (MTD does offer the original bar).At the time, I was able to get the Remington 42cc with a 16-inch bar and case from Amazon for under $150 delivered, including Michigan sales tax and a Square Trade 5-year warranty. They mistakenly believed there was a one-year manufacturer's guarantee, but the warranty is actually valid for 4 years after that. The Remington two-year warranty means that if I ever need it and it stands, I'm truly insured for six years. Overall, Husqvarna's saw is substantially more expensive, comes with a case, and has a shorter guarantee.Has the saw any flaws? Well…It leaks chain oil when stored, as stated in other reviews, but not as badly as my previous Homelite did. I dunno, maybe every witnessed leaks.The sheath for the blade protrudes from the casing, which is an unattractive black cube. The Homelite case was "prettier" and more curved. Spare chains and tiny bottles of chain and 2cycle oil can be stored in the Remington case. Although some reviewers criticize the case, I believe it to be fine.Although there are several steps to the cold-start process, they are all clearly outlined in the owner's manual and on two different decals on the saw (one with just pictures, one with text). The best feature is that every time I've used it, it has functioned flawlessly (zero starting problems). The procedure is to turn on the ignition switch, depress the clear rubber primer bulb ten times, pull out the choke, crank the engine five times (don't mess with the choke even if it attempts to start), push the choke in, and crank the engine one to five more times. When the choke is put back in, it always starts for me on the first or second crank (open). As I previously mentioned, I frequently restart while working. To do so, I just turn the ignition on and pull the trigger.In terms of cranking, it is effortless and smooth. Much easier to use than my Homelite, a similar-sized saw.Here is my very first and sole complaint about the saw. The choke bothers me. It has a pull-and-push button similar to those used in 1950s outboard motors. When the choke is in ("open"), there is no issue. When you pull the button out to close the choke, it seems like it is on a rubber band. On its own, it wants to go back to the in (open) position. The "out" position is not one that it enjoys holding. I do the first five cranks, crossing my fingers that the choke stays closed. Maybe that's how it was intended to work—when the saw starts, the vibration releases the choke.When I originally acquired the saw, I also thought it was underpowered, which was another drawback. Every time I tried to cut a branch with a diameter more than 3 inches, it wanted to bog down. I believe the chain was set way too tightly at the manufacturer, causing binding. Since I altered the chain, I haven't experienced this issue.The clear rubber priming bulb is nice. Because it is transparent, you can see the gas and determine whether the saw you are trying to start or use is out of gas.The chain oiler on the saw is automatic, but there is no manual button to add more oil for a large cut (my Homelite had both).

I’ve owned a couple of chain saws in my life, but I’m the last to tell you I’m any expert. Generally the deal is making sure the engine will start...and continue to run. Pros will just hold the saw in one hand and jerk the cord. Me, on the otherhand, have to put the saw on the ground, make sure I’ve flipped all the correct switches and settings and then with one foot on the floor plate, a hand on the throttle and the other hand on the pull rope, I start the process of trying to get the saw (which has only seen a few trees in it’s lifetime) to start. If you have old fuel or a bad plug, you have to mess with it more or finally throwing in the towel and taking it to the shop.Those days are gone...I received the DeWalt chain saw knowing it would be a compromise from what I once had and what I had been using (a sawzall) to cut limbs, etc. I received if on a Saturday afternoon, unpacked it, put the battery on charge and just left it there overnight. After church I figured I’d attempt to cut a few things down or clean up some brush before the battery died, and trying to keep myself from bodily injury in the process.I filled the oil reserve on the left side of the saw with bar oil, then put on the battery. From there I went to my first “victum†some branches I needed to cut off a tree. I pressed the trigger release and the trigger, the saw came to life and sliced the 2 inch limb like butter. Next I cut a couple of 30’ pine trees with trunks probably 8-10†in diameter. No problem. I then sectioned the two trees...no problem. I then cut some major limbs off a birch tree...no problem. Next a couple of small birch trees, about the same size as the pines...no problem. After sectioning 4 or 5 trees into logs for burning and cleaning up the smaller branches I moved on to cleaning up a couple of small stumps and a couple of other small trees. Other than binding the chain a couple of times (due to inexperience) I think I cut down a total of 6 trees, sectioned 4 of them and cleaning up a number of other things in the yard...I did this all on one battery.The saw really didn’t get slow but I figured it was starting to show some minor fatigue...as was I. I brought the battery in the house to recharge.If you have to cut down a large tree, you may want to go with something else, but I cut down 6 medium sized trees and basically cleaned up after them with no issue and on one battery charge.Whoever designed this thing was a genious. I don’t plan to buy another gasoline saw again. You can also bet this thing will be with me on whatever camping or backyard bonfire we have. It will also be one of the things I’ll have with me if we have another ice storm or hurricane.I was so impressed I also bought the hedge trimmer that runs on the same battery. I’ll let you know how that works out.Anyway, this is a reall good saw. It is well worth considering for any small to medium chore you have for a chainsaw.
I'm not sure if pocket chainsaws really work or not, but I've seen them advertised and they look pretty cool. I would imagine that they would be pretty difficult to use, but I'm sure there are people out there who are able to use them effectively.
Stihl is a trusted name in the world of outdoor power equipment. The company has been making gas-powered chainsaws for years, and more recently, has entered the battery-powered market. The Stihl MSA 200 C-BQ is a battery-powered chainsaw that is built for both professional and consumer use. The saw has many features that make it a good choice for those in the market for a new chainsaw. The saw has a long-running battery life, so you can get a lot of use out of it before needing to
Battery powered chainsaws are becoming increasingly popular, but how long do they actually last? On average, a battery powered chainsaw will last for around 2-3 hours before needing to be recharged. However, this will vary depending on the model and brand of chainsaw, as well as how heavy-duty the task is that you're using it for. If you're using your chainsaw for light tasks such as trimming branches, then you can expect it to last for closer to 3 hours. However, if you're using it for more demanding tasks such as
If you're looking for a powerful and reliable battery chainsaw, Stihl is a great option. But how long does a Stihl battery chainsaw last? On average, a Stihl battery chainsaw will last for about 2-3 hours of continuous use. However, this will vary depending on the model of chainsaw and the type of battery used. If you're using a higher-end model with a lithium-ion battery, you can expect it to last even longer. So, if you're looking for a battery chainsaw that will give
An electric chainsaw typically costs between $60 and $200. The price depends on the brand, the features, and the size of the saw.
Chainsaws can be expensive, but you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a good one. You can find a chainsaw that's durable and powerful for around $100.
