What are the benefits of using a Chainsaw?

A chainsaw is a powerful and versatile garden tool. It can be used for tasks such as trimming branches, cutting firewood, removing tree stumps, and felling trees. Chainsaws are best suited to work below your shoulder level for anything higher you should use a pole pruner.

Are bigger Chainsaws better?

The Chainsaw you decide to buy really depends on the type of garden work you are doing. A small chainsaw will be ideal in many instances because it will be lighter and easier to handle. Look for a well-balanced machine with a good power-to-weight ratio: light enough for you to manage, with the power to do the job. If you have large trees to fell or big branches to cut into firewood, you will need a bigger Chainsaw with more power to get the job done. Learn more in our blog about How to choose your Chainsaw.
