Saws

When the need arises to purchase a saw, at first glance it may prove to be a difficult task to overcome. Different manufacturers, saw types, sizes, power, cylinder displacement. How are they different? Which is better to choose? And most importantly, what kind of saw do I need? You will only be able to find the answers to these questions by learning more about the main types of chainsaws and then answering a few of the questions provided to help you make a final decision.

Chainsaws are divided into:

Gasoline. The petrol saw is probably the most popular choice, not losing ground to the types of electric and cordless saws. First of all, it is a convenient option that provides mobility. Gasoline saws are convenient to take with you everywhere, and when work stops, fill the fuel tank and continue working. Still, although this species is popular, it requires constant care. In addition, the gasoline saw is often viewed negatively due to its considerable weight. Note that the saw you are inspecting at the store is without a fuel tank!

Electric. This type of saw requires almost no maintenance and is popular for its low weight. In addition, the electric saw works noticeably quieter than gasoline and is cheaper. However, a significant disadvantage is that a power supply is required to work with this saw. This, of course, limits the work area or causes additional problems when dealing with power source issues. It should also be noted that the power of the electric saw is not equal to that of gasoline.

Rechargeable. These saws are perfect for yard or garden work. These saws could even be named not as a separate type but as a subtype of the type of electric saws. Advantages, the principle of operation of both types of saws is the same, but a cordless saw, unlike an electric saw, has an unlimited working area. However, these cordless saws also have drawbacks. Do not go to work with him for a long time. Once the battery is discharged, it will take some time and wait for it to charge again before you can resume work. Plus, these saws are expensive, and high power can’t be proud either.

After a brief overview of the main types of chainsaws, it will be easier to decide which type of saw you need by also answering a few key questions, such as:

  • How often will the chain saw be used? It should be noted that after buying any type of saw, you will need to put in the work to take care of it. Otherwise, you’ll probably enjoy the tool for a short time. First of all, the chain needs to be lubricated regularly. She can also shake off, but it’s not hard to sharpen it or find a master who can sharpen it.
  • Do I need a saw for professional or amateur use? In other words, is this my tool or a tool needed for occasional gardening? Amateur tools will no doubt be less powerful and simpler. A smaller chainsaw, which is easier to control, will probably suffice for garden work.
  • Will I cut hard or soft wood more often? If you are planning to cut hard wood, you need to choose a chain saw with more power. Such a saw should be chosen for those who plan to "let" tall trees. When cutting hard wood or tall trees, you will overload the small saw and it will wear out faster.
  • Will I use the saw during the warm or cold season? Assuming you work during the winter, you could also benefit from saw models that have heated handles.
