What kind of yard work are you doing, and what do you want out of your chainsaw experience? This buyers guide will help you make the best decision for your specific chainsaw needs.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gas vs. battery-powered<\/h3>    <p>The difference between gas-powered and battery-powered chainsaws? <\/p>    <p>Gas chainsaws are more powerful and are much more suitable for heavy-duty work, like felling large trees. They also last longer on a tank of gas than most battery-powered saws do on a single charge.<\/p>    <p>The power of a gas engine comes with a few disadvantages. They generally require more maintenance and come with the added costs of gas and oil refills. Gas chainsaws are loud, producing decibel levels that can be damaging to your ears after prolonged exposure. They also release harmful emissions.<\/p>    <p>Battery-powered chainsaws might not have the same power as gas models, but they are still strong. They also start right away, typically with the push of a button. They\u2019re quiet, light, and don\u2019t release any emissions. Plus, you\u2019ll never have to worry about filling up your chainsaw\u2019s gas tank.<\/p>    <p>The only drawback of a battery-powered chainsaw is the limitations of battery life. Depending on the work you\u2019re doing, battery life might be one of the most important factors. Light pruning and debris removal can probably be done on a single charge, but you may need more time to complete bigger jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you need to make lots of long cuts, you\u2019ll likely need multiple batteries, and those can be pricey. You may even decide that a battery-powered saw just won\u2019t cut it.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chain oil<\/h3>    <p>Chainsaws require bar oil to keep the chain running smoothly and avoid overheating. Many modern chainsaws have an automatic oiling system that continuously releases oil onto the saw bar to keep it lubricated. As long as the onboard oil reservoir is full, the saw will do the oiling work for you.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Some models even have adjustable oiling systems that allow you to increase or reduce the oil flow depending on the work that\u2019s being done. Older chainsaw models that don\u2019t have an automatic oiler require you to manually oil your chainsaw to avoid damaging it.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chain tensioning<\/h3>    <p>A saw chain gets hot during use. As the chain heats, it expands and can eventually become loose enough to slip off the saw bar. This means that you need to monitor the chain tension to keep it from over-expanding and jumping off the guide bar.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Some chainsaws have automatic chain adjustments or a \u201ctool-less\u201d chain tensioning system that makes tensioning easy. Other models will require you to keep a specific tool or a screwdriver handy so that you can tighten the chain when needed.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety features<\/h3>    <p>Chainsaws are inherently dangerous. They can cause serious injury if used improperly. Safety features should be an important consideration when looking for a chainsaw, especially for beginners.<\/p>    <p>One important safety feature is a chain brake. It allows you to quickly stop the chain from spinning if it breaks or jumps off the bar. Some models include a manual lever or have these built into a trigger, and others will do this automatically.<\/p>    <p>Kickback is when the tip of the saw catches on something and causes the machine to \u201ckick\u201d back at the user. Low kickback chains and bars are specifically designed to reduce kickback or \u201cbucking\u201d to protect chainsaw users. Bucking spikes can be used to leverage against bucking.<\/p>    <p>Check out this video for tips on how to safely operate a chainsaw:<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"How to Safely Operate Your Electric Chainsaw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zXAKpnyUBpA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs About Cordless Chainsaws<\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1611754355695\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1. Is gas or electric better?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the type of work you need your chainsaw to complete.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>A gas chainsaw will give you more power and be better suited for extended periods of difficult cutting.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Most battery chainsaws can handle light-duty to moderate chainsaw work. The strongest won&#8217;t have trouble felling small trees. They\u2019re also much quieter, require far less maintenance, and don\u2019t have any of the toxic emissions of gas models.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>If you need a tool for felling large trees or other heavy-duty work, an electric motor might not be enough. You&#8217;ll likely want a gas-powered chainsaw.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1611754408002\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. What should I look for when buying a cordless chainsaw?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Consider the type of work you\u2019ll be doing and the experience that you want. Ask yourself these questions:\u00a0<br\/><br\/>&#8212; Is noise a concern? You likely won\u2019t want a gas chainsaw then.<br\/>&#8212; Does mixing oil and filling gas tanks seem like a hassle? You&#8217;ll likely want an electric chainsaw then.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Is the work you\u2019re doing quick enough that battery life isn\u2019t a concern or do you need one with extended life?\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Do you have all the tools you need to tighten your chain or would a tool-less chain tensioner make life easier?\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Do you know how to oil a chain or would you prefer it to be automatic?\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; How experienced are you with chainsaws? For those with less experience, safety features should be an important factor.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1611754488589\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3. Who makes the best cordless chainsaws?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">We ranked the best cordless chainsaws based on power, price, and ease of use, but there are other options out there. <br\/><br\/>Popular cordless tool brands like Stihl, Echo, Milwaukee, DeWALT, and Makita all have their own take on the chainsaw. If you\u2019re happy with a particular tool brand, you may want to purchase a chainsaw from that manufacturer.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1611754504255\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">4. What size chainsaw should I buy?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A general rule for chainsaw length is that you want a bar that is at least 2-3 inches longer than the width of what you&#8217;re cutting. For example, if you\u2019re cutting trees or limbs that are 14 inches wide, you\u2019ll need a chainsaw that is at least 16 inches long.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p>There are a lot of options to choose from when selecting a cordless chainsaw. Our buyers guide should give you everything you need to go from average Joe to lumberjack. Whether you decide on a gas-engine or battery-powered saw, you can\u2019t go wrong with any of the 10 best cordless chainsaws on our list.<\/p>    <p>Or if you just can\u2019t decide which chainsaw is right for you, or you\u2019re a little squeamish about wielding such a powerful tool, you can always leave the tree work to the professionals.
