Nowadays, you&#8217;ll likely purchase an electric chainsaw that runs off one or two battery packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, it may take multiple batteries to finish the job you&#8217;re working on. Consider this as an extra cost associated with electric chainsaws. Otherwise, you might have to stop working to wait for your batteries to recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/parts-of-a-chainsaw\/\">The Parts of a Chainsaw<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/chainsaw-brands\/\">Popular Chainsaw Brands<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/types-of-chainsaws\/\">The Main Types of Chainsaws<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which_is_better\"><\/span>Which Is Better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this question is subjective depending on your circumstances. <strong>A gas-powered chainsaw is simply more powerful than the average electric chainsaw.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Having said that, an electric chainsaw will suffice for most yard work.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re not an arborist or cutting stacks of firewood to heat your house for the winter, you should strongly consider an electric chainsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my personal opinion, an electric chainsaw has far more pros than cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who Gas Chainsaws Are For<\/strong> &#8211; These are the biggest and most powerful chainsaws. They have engine sizes ranging from 30cc to 50cc+ and bar lengths over 18&#8243;. If you&#8217;re cutting ricks of firewood to heat your home for the winter, get a gas-powered chainsaw. Also, if you&#8217;re using a chainsaw for yard work and prefer gas-powered machines, get one. There are small gas chainsaws that work perfectly for this too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Who Electric Chainsaws Are For<\/strong> &#8211; These are for people who need a chainsaw for the occasional work. You might fell a small tree once in a while, trim some branches, etc. Electric chainsaws are very cool. They&#8217;re simple to start, quiet, don&#8217;t create fumes, and they&#8217;re more than adequate for the majority of yard work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"my_experience_with_gas_vs_electric\"><\/span>My Experience with Gas vs. Electric<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, I&#8217;ll tell you how I helped my parents clear some trees from my grandpa&#8217;s place. We used two chainsaws; one gas and one electric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gas chainsaw performed as you might expect. It started up, performed well, and didn&#8217;t slow down until we did. It ran out of gas once, and we needed a new chain as well. Other than that, it did great! This is what you can expect from a decent gas-powered chainsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mom recently bought a 20v cordless Craftsman (electric) chainsaw. She used it to trim branches and fell small trees (less than 6&#8243; in diameter). I thought it looked neat, and when the opportunity presented itself, I gave it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craftsman-electric-chainsaw.webp\" alt=\"Craftsman Electric Chainsaw\" class=\"wp-image-1871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craftsman-electric-chainsaw.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craftsman-electric-chainsaw-660x560.webp 660w, https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craftsman-electric-chainsaw-180x153.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craftsman-electric-chainsaw-768x652.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I was surprised at the power. For a small, electric chainsaw, it did a great job.<\/strong> It&#8217;s lightweight and easy to use. Simple to start and fairly safe &#8211; having a decent handle and chain brake. There were no fumes, and it was quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used it to cut small limbs from around an old cedar. There was a bunch of brush which made it difficult to get to. Along the way, I used her Craftsman to fell small trees. It was fun. Not as fun as a gas chainsaw, of course, but still fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the battery died, it died fast. The chainsaw didn&#8217;t begin slowing down as the battery depleted. It seemingly runs full speed until its battery is too low &#8211; at which point it simply stops working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we had another battery, I would have gladly kept going. Unfortunately, we did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I enjoy using electric chainsaws and highly recommend them to most people. You can fell small trees, trim branches, and even cut firewood. If, however, you will be using the chainsaw a lot &#8211; cutting ricks of firewood, for example &#8211; A gas-powered chainsaw is more suitable for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"engine_bar_guide\"><\/span>Engine &amp; Bar Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have a better idea of what type of chainsaw you need, I&#8217;ll finish this guide by talking about engine size and guide bar length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chainsaws have two main parts, the engine (power head) and guide bar (cutting system).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Power Head<\/strong> &#8211; The gas or electric-powered engine that runs the chainsaw.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cutting system<\/strong> &#8211; The guide bar and chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the engine and guide bar comes in different sizes.

Mostly, a gas-powered chainsaw will outperform an electric chainsaw in the cutting department. They&#8217;re simply stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, electric chainsaws are powerful too. They will saw through almost anything their gas counterparts will. <strong>Because they&#8217;re easier to start, weigh less, don&#8217;t produce exhaust (fumes), and are not as loud, I recommend an electric chainsaw for most people with light to medium work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re the type of person who wants to use a chainsaw to trim the dead limbs off a tree, fell some small trees, or cut small logs for firewood, an electric chainsaw is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I recommend a gas-powered chainsaw for anyone felling large trees or cutting ricks of firewood to heat their homes over winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advancements in technology have rendered electric-powered chainsaws a worthy option for homeowners.
