Chainsaw Reviews & Buying Guides

Our chainsaw reviews cover battery chainsaws as well as gas chainsaws.

Where noise is a concern, electric chainsaws seem to thrive. Additionally, battery-powered top handle chainsaws bring a measure of increased safety when used in lifts. You get instantaneous starting with no pull cord, and they go silent when you need to talk to your person on the ground.
