Think about the types of jobs you\u2019ll be tackling and the kind of experience you want to have when using your chainsaw. <\/p>    <p>This buyers guide will help you make the best decision for your specific chainsaw needs, all with your budget in mind.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gas vs. electric<\/h3>    <p>What\u2019s the difference between gas-powered and electric chainsaws? Gas chainsaws are more powerful and are much more suitable for heavy-duty work, like felling large trees. They\u2019re also more expensive. <\/p>    <p>Electric chainsaws are much more cost-effective, but they\u2019re less powerful and less portable since they\u2019ll keep you within range of an outlet.<\/p>    <p>The power of a gas engine comes with a few disadvantages. Gas-powered chainsaws are fairly high maintenance machines and come with the added costs of gas and oil refills.<\/p>    <p>Gas chainsaws are noisy, producing decibel levels that can be damaging to your ears after prolonged exposure. They also release harmful emissions.<\/p>    <p>Electric chainsaws might not be as powerful as gas models, but they are still strong. They also start right away, usually at 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>You also have the option of choosing a battery-powered chainsaw. These have all the benefits of an electric chainsaw with the portability of a gas-powered saw. <\/p>    <p>Battery-powered models come in all shapes and sizes, but they\u2019re generally more expensive than their gas or electric counterparts. <\/p>    <p>Battery-powered chainsaws are so pricey that not one of them made our list of the best chainsaws for the money.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chain oil<\/h3>    <p>Chainsaws need bar oil to operate effectively. It keeps the chain running smoothly and helps to avoid overheating. <\/p>    <p>Lots of modern chainsaws are built with an automatic oiling system that continuously releases oil onto the saw bar to keep it lubricated. As long as the saw\u2019s oil reservoir is full, the automatic oiler will do the oiling work for you.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Some automatic oiling systems are adjustable so you can increase or decrease the oil flow as needed. Older chainsaw models that don\u2019t have an automatic oiler need to be manually oiled to avoid damage.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chain tensioning<\/h3>    <p>The friction of cutting will cause your chain to get hot during use. As the chain heats, it expands and can become loose enough to slip off the bar. This means you\u2019ll need to monitor the tension in the chain, and tighten it as needed so that the chain doesn\u2019t fall off the guide bar while you\u2019re cutting.&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 dangerous and can cause serious injury if used improperly. Safety features should be an important factor when looking for a chainsaw, especially for beginners.<\/p>    <p>One of the most important safety features is a chain brake. This allows you to quickly stop the chain from spinning if it breaks or comes off the bar. Some models have a lever that engages the brake or have the feature built into a trigger. Others will stop the chain automatically when cutting stops or it senses the chain has fallen off the bar.<\/p>    <p>Kickback is when the tip of the saw catches on something and causes the entire chainsaw to \u201ckick\u201d back at you. Low kickback chains and bars are designed to limit kickback or \u201cbucking\u201d to protect chainsaw users. Bucking spikes can be used to leverage against kickback, too.<\/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 Chainsaws<\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613060901216\"><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 for.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>A gas chainsaw will have more power and is the better option for long periods of cutting tough trees.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Most electric chainsaws can handle light-duty to moderate work. The strongest models will even be fit for felling small trees. They\u2019re quieter than gas, require much less maintenance, and they don\u2019t have any toxic emissions.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>If you need a saw that can take down large trees or handle other heavy-duty work, an electric motor might not be enough. You\u2019ll want a gas-powered chainsaw.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613060943990\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. What should I look for when buying a chainsaw?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">What to look for in a chainsaw will depend on what you need it for.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Those who need power should look for a gas-powered model with lots of horsepower.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>If you want something low-maintenance, look for a saw with automatic oiling and tool-less chain tensioning.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Choose from electric or battery-powered saws if you want something that\u2019s quiet and easy to maneuver.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>All chainsaw users should look for the best safety features.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613061022122\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3. What size chainsaw should I buy?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Ideally, you want your chainsaw bar to be at least 2-3 inches longer than the width of what you&#8217;re cutting. <br\/><br\/>For example, if you\u2019re cutting trees or limbs that are 12 inches wide, you\u2019ll need a chainsaw that is at least 14 inches long.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613061001780\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">4. Who makes the best chainsaws?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">We ranked the best chainsaws for the money based on price, but there are other options to choose from that didn\u2019t quite make the cut. <br\/><br\/>Popular cordless tool brands like Stihl, Echo, Milwaukee, DeWALT, and Makita all have their own take on the modern chainsaw. If you\u2019re happy with a particular tool brand, you may want to purchase a chainsaw from that manufacturer.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p>For savvy shoppers of chainsaws, price is the top priority. Our buyers guide kept that in mind when ranking the best chainsaws for the money. Whichever chainsaw you choose, you can be confident that you\u2019ll get the best bang for your buck.<\/p>    <p>And if wielding a chainsaw isn\u2019t your thing, no matter how affordable the needed tool is, you can always leave the tree work to the professionals.
