Types of Chainsaws

Cordless

Our range of cordless chainsaws make your gardening jobs easy, providing a handheld cutting solution for branches and small trees. Simply charge up the battery, get your goggles and ear protectors on, and get to work. With lots of sizes to choose from by the biggest brands, there’s a cordless chainsaw to help you with almost any garden task!

Petrol

For larger cutting jobs, a petrol chainsaw is a powerful way of cutting through wood. Petrol chainsaws are usually the most powerful option and can be used for longer periods of time.

Mini chainsaws

For those everyday cutting and pruning tasks, a mini chainsaw is the perfect gardening companion for small branches and shrubs. Though they’re small, these chainsaws can be a big help in the garden!

Pole chainsaws

A pole chainsaw can help you get to hard-to-reach areas of your garden, keeping your feet on the ground whilst tackling cutting at a height.

Benefits of Buying a Chainsaw

Powerful cutting

A chainsaw makes light work of any garden cutting task. If there’s overgrowth that your hedge trimmers can’t handle, and your hand saw isn’t quite cutting it, a chainsaw can take on large cutting jobs which other tools can’t handle.

Easy to use

Our chainsaws are portable pieces of kit which can get to work anywhere around your garden for a variety of tasks, from preparing firewood to felling trees. Once your wood is in smaller parts, you can use a log splitter for perfect firewood and a garden shredder to make smaller pieces into the perfect mulch for compost and garden beds.

Speed

Compared to hand tools, a chainsaw will save you time and effort in both large and small garden cutting jobs.

FAQs

What type of chainsaw should I choose?

We have a great range of chainsaws to choose from to suit every size of job, level of experience, and budget. From mini chainsaws for everyday maintenance to large petrol chainsaws for powerful cutting, it’s easy to find your favourite.

Can I use a chainsaw to cut any type of wood?

Chainsaws are designed to cut through a variety of wood, but it depends on the size and power of your chainsaw. Large branches and trunks are best suited for a powerful electric or petrol chainsaw.

Can I use a chainsaw to cut other materials?

Chainsaws should only be used on wood, and you should use appropriate safety clothing whenever you’re using one. Don’t attempt to cut anything else with a chainsaw as this can cause damage to the machine and risks to the user.
