Choose Gas or Electric

Most chainsaws are either gas or electric models. Gas chainsaws will offer you more power potential and faster speeds. They can more easily tackle larger jobs with impressive efficiency. The downsides are that they require you to keep gas and oil on hand, contribute to more noise pollution, and are heavier.

Electric chainsaws are much lighter and quieter. They'll be much easier to use and maintain. You won't have to keep fuel on hand, but you will be restricted by either the life of its battery or the length of its extension cord. They are well-suited for tasks that aren't as intensive or won't take as long.

Pick a Chainsaw Length

The length of chainsaws is measured in a few ways. The guide bar length measures the tip of the chain to where it enters the equipment housing. The bar length measures the active cutting area and also the largest length of wood the chainsaw can deal with in a single motion.

Smaller chainsaws can still tackle larger pieces of wood, but it will take more passes to get the job done. It's recommended that the bar length be at least two inches longer than the wood for the safest cutting. Longer chainsaws will be able to tackle more jobs in fewer passes, but they can be harder to handle safely. Most minor work, such as trimming and limbing, can be accomplished with chainsaws around 14 inches. Larger tasks, such as felling and firewood, can be tackled easily with chainsaws offering 18 inches of bar length. Typically, the only time you would need a chainsaw bar length over 18 inches would be bucking.

Consider Your Personal Capabilities

When picking a chainsaw, it's important to consider what you personally are capable of handling. Make sure to only get a model that you are fully capable of and confident in handling. Test it out to be sure you can comfortably lift and control the chainsaw. There are plenty of models of different weights and sizes, so you will be able to find one that suits your physical fitness level.
