Maybe you grew up with the legend of Paul Bunyan, or you heard stories of real-life lumberjacks, and you always imagined yourself crossing the great American wilderness to tame even the tallest treetops.

Maybe you simply need to clear away some tree branches that got damaged in a storm.

No matter why you need a new chainsaw, it's important that you choose the right chainsaw for the work you plan to do.

There's a saw that's perfect for everyone, whether for residential use or commercial use. At their core, chainsaws can be divided into three different types:

Gas chainsaws

Electric chainsaws

Pole saws

Electric Chainsaws

Electric Chain SawHowever, if your biggest concern is cutting up small branches, you might find that an electric chainsaw is a better fit.

They might be less powerful than gas-powered chainsaws, but that doesn't mean that electric chainsaws lack any benefits. In fact, buying an electric chainsaw offers several pros that tend to be especially appealing to homeowners:

Lightweight

Low maintenance

More affordable

Quieter

Exhaust-free

Electric chainsaws are available as cordless or battery-powered saws, which offer more portability, and corded saws, which provide continuous power without the need to replace or recharge a battery.

And don't count on electric saws always being less powerful than gas saws. As technology continues to advance, you can count on seeing more electric saws made to handle tough work.

Gas Chainsaws

Husqvarna Gas Chain SawIf you plan on cutting large branches or felling trees, then gas chainsaws are the saws for you. Not only do gas-powered saws provide portability and sheer engine power; they even offer greater cutting ability because of the simple fact that the chain turns more quickly on a gas saw than on an electric saw.

But don't think that gas chainsaws are all about brute strength. There's a range of variety within the gas-powered chainsaw category, which is why you'll find three styles of gas saws on this site:

Homeowner gas chainsaws

Farm and ranch gas chainsaws

Professional gas chainsaws

You'll see chainsaws with engine capacities as low as 32cc and as high as 60cc. You'll also find that your gas saw might work with a bar as short as 12" or as long as 24", depending on the model.

All that variety means is that you're bound to find a gas chainsaw to help you with any project.
