If you are on the fence about electric chainsaws and gas-powered chainsaws, hopefully this video will help you out. There is no doubt that chainsaws are handy for a wide variety of tasks. Landscapers can use them for brush trimming. You can use them to cut down a tree or cut up a log for firewood.
If you are planning on putting a lot of use into that chainsaw, it is important to pick out the right one for you. Let’s take a look at how electric chainsaws compare to their gas equivalents.
The first comparison will be on weight. In this category, electric wins easily. This is because you don’t have to lug around a chainsaw that is full of fuel. Instead, electric chainsaws rely on a compact battery for power. This is nice because this will also lead to cost savings on fuel.
The next category to compare is strength. This is where the most concern about electric chainsaws are expressed. Will they really be able to get the job done? The answer is, yes, in most cases. Electric chainsaws do an excellent job cutting everything that a traditional chainsaw can. However, the battery may not last as long without a charge. Fortunately, you can solve this problem by simply having a secondary battery that you swap out when the other runs low. This is only really a problem for people who are going to be working outside all day.
