The right chainsaw is essential for a job done right, whether you’re trimming a few hedges or felling a large tree from your yard. Explore different types of chainsaws with varying fuel sources at Ace Hardware to find the right fit for your needs.

Corded vs Cordless Electric Chainsaws

Electric chainsaws are either corded or cordless. A corded chainsaw is plugged into an outlet, while a cordless chainsaw is battery-operated. Learn more about benefits and best uses of each type below.

Corded Electric Chainsaw

A corded chainsaw is a great option for basic tasks close to home. Extension cords can offer further reach but because of the corded design, these electric chainsaws are limited by the length of their power cords and the nearest outlet.

Corded models deliver more consistent power than battery-operated designs because of being connected to a continuous power source. Corded power is rated by amps, with the higher the amps the more heavy-duty jobs it can handle. These chainsaws are good for yard maintenance like cutting firewood, clearing up debris after a storm, felling small trees, and trimming tree branches. Find corded electric chainsaws, pole saws, pruners and more from brands like Craftsman and STIHL.

Battery Chainsaw

A cordless battery-operated chainsaw allows you greater freedom of movement without the hassle of fueling or the limitations of a cord and electrical outlet. As well as their mobility, battery chainsaws make a great option for DIYers for several reasons, including:

• Lighter builds and anti-vibration feature for less fatigue, easier handling and safer operation
• Less maintenance and little to no exhaust fumes compared to gas-powered chainsaws
• Smaller footprints than corded and gas options for easier storage
• Full battery charge in one to three hours depending on the make and model
• The ability to replace battery packs on the go for a more seamless workflow

What’s more, many cordless electric chainsaws use batteries that are fully integrated with specific manufacturer’s battery powered equipment ranges. This means that you can slowly build an outdoor power tool arsenal using one battery, with multi-tool options available from brands like EGO and Milwaukee.

Powerful Gas Chainsaw Designs

Gas-powered chainsaws are classic models. They have been used by professionals and dedicated DIYers for years and are renowned for the power they offer. For felling big trees or attempting larger jobs, a gas chainsaw is a solid option.

However, gas chainsaws aren’t for everyone. They require more regular upkeep, are typically heavier than electric models, produce more noise and emit exhaust fumes. Because of this, it is typically recommended that experienced users looking for heavy-duty power use gas chainsaws.
