Buying a Chainsaw
Chainsaws are powerful machines that make any number of jobs simpler, from large landscaping projects to forestry and beyond. But there are so many sizes, shapes, types, and more on the market—how do you know which is right for you? We here at Union Trailer & Power Equipment want to make the buying process a bit easier, so we’ve put together a couple of tips for buying a chainsaw below. To learn more, or to see the chainsaws we have for sale, contact our store in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, today!
Gas, Corded, or Battery-Powered
One of the first decisions is the power source you want. Gas models are the most powerful and the most mobile, so they’re great for jobs in large areas or with a lot of heavy-duty work to do. Unfortunately, they’re also the heaviest, loudest, and highest-polluting type.
Corded chainsaws are quieter, lighter, and typically much cheaper. They’re perfect for working around a residential property where you know you’ll be in reach of an outlet. However, the cord does limit mobility severely.
Battery-powered options are a sort of middle-ground. You get the mobility of the gas option and the quiet and light nature of the corded. However, you can only work as long as you’ve got a charged battery, and they take some time to recharge.
Guide Bar Length
Another vital decision is the guide bar length. From the tip of the chain to the equipment housing, this denotes the active cutting area of the saw. You should only use a saw on wood with a diameter smaller than your guide bar length, so consider the size of the job you’re buying for.
