Chainsaws

Learn more about chainsaws

A chainsaw is only as good as its fit for the job in front of you. The right choice comes down to what you're cutting, how long you'll be running the saw and how much upkeep you want to take on.

Power source is the first decision. Cordless and brushless cordless saws are quick to pick up and put down, with no cable to manage, which suits pruning and short cutting sessions. Mains electric saws run cleanly for lighter work close to a power supply. Petrol saws come into their own on heavier, longer-running tasks where you need sustained cutting power away from the mains.

Bar length and chain size then determine what the saw can handle. A shorter bar gives more control for pruning and smaller logs, while a longer bar suits felling and larger timber. Always check the product specifications so the bar, chain pitch and chain type match the saw and the material you're cutting.

Our branch teams can talk through the options with you and help you land on the saw that fits your workload.

Typical uses

• Cutting firewood and smaller logs where a reliable, controlled cut matters.

• Pruning branches and light tree work in gardens, grounds and landscaping jobs.

• Site clearance and general cutting tasks where you need a practical saw.

• Quick, mobile work with a cordless chainsaw, or heavier, longer-running tasks with a petrol chainsaw.

• Cleaner, low-maintenance use with a brushless cordless chainsaw or a mains electric option.

How to choose the right chainsaw

• Match the saw to the job first: pruning, firewood, felling or mixed-site use.

• Choose bar length and chain size to suit the material you're cutting, keeping compatibility with the saw in mind.

• Look at the power source, balance and control so the saw suits how long you'll be using it.

• Consider features such as a chain brake and anti-vibration design for safer, more comfortable operation.

• If you're comparing the best chainsaw for professional use, focus on durability, maintenance needs and the cutting performance you actually need on site.

Before you order

• Check the product specifications for bar length, chain pitch and chain type.

• Make sure replacement chain and bar options are compatible if you want to keep the saw in service for longer.

• Plan for routine upkeep, including chain sharpening, chain replacement and the right oil for lubrication.

• Think about storage, transport and any site requirements so the saw is ready for regular trade use.

• If you're unsure which model suits the job, use our product expertise and branch availability to narrow the choice.
