Chainsaw Sales April 2024: Get Up to 40% Off from Milwaukee, Greenworks, Makita, and More

This gas chainsaw has 38 cc (cubic capacity) power and a 16-inch bar for the right combination of power and size. It can fell small trees and cut back limbs while still being maneuverable enough for some precision pruning. It has a built-in dampener to soften vibrations and an inertia-activated chain brake, reducing the risk of injury caused by too much kickback.

This electric saw has very little kickback and quiet operation. The small bar and light weight make it ideal for small trees and limbs and can break down medium logs. Its auto-lubrication system has a clear window so you know exactly when you need more chain oil. It has a decent battery life but you can pick up an extra pack if tackling a long job.

For those with a garage full of Milwaukee tools, this chain saw is part of the same 18-volt battery platform. This model performed efficiently when tested by our editors delivering fast, clean cuts through 10-inch diameter logs. There’s onboard storage for the screwdriver-wrench and has a quiet operation.

Our editors tested the 40V version of the Greenworks electric chainsaw and were impressed with its performance. This 80V version will give you the same ease of use but with double the power. It gives you 150 cuts on a single charge and has the same output as a 42cc gas chainsaw. The 18-inch bar is great for cutting down large trees and thick logs. The battery also charges faster than others on the market, so you’re not waiting around for a topped off battery.
