Let's get one thing out of the way quickly — the Husqvarna 460 Rancher Gas Chainsaw is not for the casual, weekend-only chainsaw user. This machine is a beast, the real deal. And it's a spectacular combination of power and convenience for those who are frequently working in the woods.

With bar lengths available up to 24 inches, the Husqvarna 460 Rancher gives you plenty to work with. And so does the powerful two-cycle X-Torq engine with intertia-activated chain brake. When you take this gas-powered chainsaw into the field, trees and brush simply don't stand a chance.

Now, let's talk about convenience, because the Husqvarna 460 Rancher is absolutely loaded with features that make operation — and therefore your life — easier. We'll start with...the starter! Smart Start technology ensures that revving up this saw is as simple as can be--especially for a gas-powered tool. For comfort, the LowVib vibration-reduction system does exactly what it says it does — reduces vibration so the chainsaw is more comfortable to hold and operate.

Hang on — we're still talking about how convenient the Husqvarna 460 Rancher is. There's an automatic chain oiler that delivers a steady supply of bar and chain oil. And also an easy-to-use, side-mounted chain tensioning system that allows for quick chain adjustments while working. And we can't forget the quick-release air filter, which makes cleaning and replacing the air filter a breeze.

If you've got demanding projects that require a powerful chainsaw, and you don't mind spending extra to get the incredible combination of power and convenience, the Husqvarna 460 Rancher is the chainsaw you're looking for.

While many corded electric chainsaws are not as powerful as their gas-powered counterparts, the Makita UC4051A 16" Electric Chainsaw can proudly classify itself as an exception to that rule. This chainsaw packs the power, enough to take down any small tree and even some with medium-sized diameters.

Yes, you have to use extension cords... but if that's not a concern, you'll love the power that this Makita saw delivers--and the easy maintenance that a gas-powered chainsaw does not. For example, you'll appreciate the simple start-up that this chainsaw offers with the large trigger switch versus pulling and pulling the cord of a gas-powered saw. The Makita UC4051A also offers tool-free blade and chain adjustments for convenience.

The Makita UC4051A Electric Chainsaw is built with rubberized grip handles that are ergonomically designed for comfort during prolonged use. Between comfort, convenience, power, and the fact that you don't have to deal with the headaches that come with gas-powered tools, the Makita UC4051A 16" Electric Chainsaw is a smart investment.

With an extremely affordable price tag, the Oregon CS1500 Electric Chainsaw is the right tool for anyone on a budget. It packs enough power to take care of small and medium-sized jobs, and it's loaded with some amazing convenience features, as well.

The exclusive PowerSharp self-sharpening system does exactly what it says — it sharpens the chain blade while in use. And the instant-start feature gets the saw powered up, well, instantly! No more pulling cords and priming and messing with gas.

Perhaps the best feature of this chainsaw is the brand name. Oregon has been producing high-quality bars and chains for several brands of chainsaws for years, and the CS1500 is no exception! While you will need a generator or extension cords for power, this electric saw provides gas-like performance.

The Oregon CS1500 chainsaw doesn't skimp on comfort either. It's ergonomically designed to be lightweight and balanced, it offers an Over-Mold handle for even more comfort, and it produces very little vibration while you're working.

All in all, the Oregon CS1500 Self-Sharpening Electric Chainsaw offers high-quality performance and power —especially considering its budget-friendly cost.

Don't let its size fool you: The DEWALT DCCS620B 20V MAX XR 12 Inch Cordless Chainsaw isn't the biggest saw out there, but it can sure do its job... as long as you're not trying to cut down a giant tree.

For small or medium-sized trees, branches, and brush, the DEWALT DCCS620B does a phenomenal job. The 12" Oregon bar and chain help minimize kickback, while the compact, lightweight design ensures ease of use. It's also designed with a high-efficiency brushless motor that maximizes run time and motor life.

This specific version of the DEWALT DCCS620B chainsaw doesn't include the battery, but once you purchase it separately, it opens a world of possibilities. That's because the 20V MAX lithium-ion battery is compatible with well over 100 DEWALT battery-operated tools. So, if you already use DEWALT cordless 20V MAX tools, you can even use those batteries! And on a full charge, the battery offers plenty of life for light to moderate usage.

If most of your chainsaw usage is for cleanup, firewood, and other lighter chores, then the DEWALT DCCS620B 20V MAX XR Compact 12 Inch Cordless Chainsaw is the right model at the right price.

With the Tanaka TCS33EDTP/12 32.2cc 12 Inch Top Handle Chainsaw, you certainly get what you pay for — a chainsaw that rivals some of the most powerful and dependable on the market.

Let's start with the 32.2cc commercial-grade Pure Fire engine — this powerhouse is designed to provide clean performance with plenty of oomph, all while consuming less fuel. Speaking of fuel, the half throttle choke with purge primer bulb guarantees an easy start and warm up — and with a gas-powered chainsaw, that's a big plus.

There's plenty of convenience packed into the Tanaka TCS33EDTP/12 chainsaw as well. The automatic gear-driven oiler keeps the bar and chain well lubricated, and the side access chain tensioning ensures quick and convenient chain adjustment whenever you need it. And if you're going to be doing some cutting, you want to be comfortable; fortunately, the anti-vibration system reduces some of those vibrations for easier operation.

The Tanaka TCS33EDTP/12 32.2cc 12 Inch Top Handle Chainsaw still offers a lot of bang for the buck. You're getting professional-grade performance yet paying far less than you would for a commercial-grade chainsaw.

With a 16-inch bar and chain, the Craftsman CMXGSAMA426S 42cc 2-Cycle 16 Inch Gas-Powered Chainsaw offers plenty of length to tackle just about any small to medium-sized job. That's because its powerful 42cc 2-cycle full crank gas engine delivers steady power and is engineered to handle tree limbing, pruning, cutting, and trimming tasks.

The Craftsman CMXGSAMA426S chainsaw is also designed with comfort and convenience in mind. From simple pull starts and a cushioned, full-wrap aluminum handle to a three-point anti-vibration system, this chainsaw is comfortable to operate. Despite this chainsaw's size, it's surprisingly easy to control thanks to the low kickback bar and chain, bucking spikes, and inertia-activated chain brake.

If you've got branches to trim, firewood to cut, brush to clear, and small trees or shrubs to remove, the Craftsman CMXGSAMA426S 42cc 2-Cycle 16 Inch Gas-Powered Chainsaw is a solid, sturdy tool that will get the job done time after time.

DIYers and homeowners who do occasional yard labor will love the Worx WG322 20V Cordless Chainsaw. Arborists and lumberjacks? Probably not. But most of us are not arborists or lumberjacks, so this little chainsaw does just fine for smaller jobs, such as clearing brush and trimming limbs from smaller trees.

It's powered by a 20V Power Share battery, which is great if you own other Worx Power Share tools — the batteries can be used interchangeably for convenience. The downside is, the battery can take a while to charge, so you'll want to make sure it's ready and charged when you need to use it. And while you're using it, the ergonomic grip keeps your hand comfortable during operation. The lightweight, compact design certainly doesn't hurt either. For further convenience, the automatic chain tensioning keeps the chain tight during operation, and auto lubrication keeps the chain oiled for optimal performance.

While the Worx WG322 20V Cordless Chainsaw isn't ideal for tougher work, with its reasonable price tag and ability to take care of smaller jobs, this saw gives you a good tool for the money.

Think about it... no gas or oil to fill or mix, no nasty fumes, no pulling on a cord to start, minimal noise. Yes, those are the benefits of any cordless chainsaw. But with those positives generally comes the negative of less power than a gas-powered saw. No such sacrifice is made with the Milwaukee Electric Tools 2727-21HD Chainsaw Kit.

This 16-inch saw delivers the power and performance of a gas-powered chainsaw with the convenience of a cordless design. Its "redlink plus" intelligence ensures top-notch performance and provides overload protection to prevent damage during heavy applications. The powerstate brushless motor maintains speed under heavy loads, perfect for professional landscaping and clearing jobs.

Unlike some cordless models, the Milwaukee Electric Tools 2727-21HD Chainsaw offers impressive battery life with the redlithium high-output HD 12.0 battery pack — up to 150 cuts per full charge!

Combine all of those incredible features with instant start-up and quiet operation, and you can see why this chainsaw is one of our favorites available. When you invest in the Milwaukee Electric Tools 2727-21HD Chainsaw Kit, you get exactly what you pay for.

Made for quick, light jobs around the yard, the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX 12 Inch Cordless Chainsaw is a good tool to have handy. This chainsaw isn't going to help an arborist much, but if you're looking to clear out some brush, remove some shrubs, or handle some smaller trees, this BLACK+DECKER model gets the job done.

It uses a 40V MAX lithium-ion battery to provide the cordless convenience of a gas-powered chainsaw, minus the hassle that comes with gas tools. The automatic oiling system delivers plenty of lubrication to the 12" premium bar and chain for consistently smooth performance.

A unique feature of the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Cordless Chainsaw is its full wrap-around handle that makes sure you stay comfortable even when you're cutting in different orientations.

As long as you have realistic expectations, you'll appreciate what the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Cordless Chainsaw brings to the table. It's not a heavy-duty tool that you can clear a forest with, but it's also not a "toy"; it's a solid tool that offers tons of convenience and is plenty effective on smaller-scale jobs around your yard.

Perfect for lighter projects, the Greenworks 12 Inch 40V Cordless Chainsaw is compact and convenient to use. If you're clearing out brush and cutting branches or small trees, this battery-operated chainsaw is an effective tool.

The Greenworks 12 Inch saw uses a high-performance 40V G-MAX lithium-ion battery; best part about that is, the battery works with more than 40 different Greenworks tools that utilize the 40V G-MAX battery. Talk about versatility!

Convenience is key, and the Greenworks 12 Inch 40V Cordless Chainsaw offers plenty. The automatic oiler applies oil to the bar and chain to ensure durability and help extend the life of the chain, while the transparent oil tank gives you a clear view of the oil supply. If you're tired of the pulling and yanking a cord to start a gas-powered chainsaw, you'll LOVE the instant electric start, which powers up the tool at the pull of a trigger. Adjustments are inevitable — but Greenworks makes them easy thanks to tool-free chain tensioning.

What the Greenworks 12 Inch 40V Cordless Chainsaw lacks in overall power, it makes up in convenience and ease of use— the perfect tool for smaller projects around the yard.
