Product Information

Assembly Ease: I assessed assembly ease on how long it took to put the chainsaw together and the clarity of the instructions provided. I deemed any chainsaws that took more than 20 minutes too long, as this may take significantly longer for someone who is unfamiliar with this tool. I also marked down chainsaws that didn’t provide clear instructions, those that took longer than specified, or models where the parts didn’t seamlessly fit together. Chainsaws that required no assembly were given top marks, as these designs made the tool more accessible for less experienced users. Convenience – you don’t need to worry about mixing up petrol, or about electric cables getting in the way, when you use a cordless chainsaw To cut branches under 30 cm in diameter, look for a chainsaw with a cutting bar length of 15 – 20 cm and a cutting speed of 4 m/s . 18 V of power will generally be well suited to light-to-medium tasks. In terms of design features, there are a few that stand out. Firstly, the 30cm Oregon bar and chain . Anyone that’s familiar with chainsaws will know that this is a sign of great quality. Oregon chainsaw parts are very high-performance and are known for lasting the years, so it’s great that this machine is fitted with them.

For cord-free functionality at a price that won’t upset the budget, look no further than this Bosch UniversalChain 18 Cordless Chainsaw. A lightweight option that’s easy to handle and operate, this cordless chainsaw from the reputable power tool manufacturer is just the thing for handling all those outdoor cutting tasks. The length of a chainsaw’s cutting bar will determine the size of wood that you can use the machine on. Although cordless chainsaws usually have a shorter bar than petrol chainsaws, there’s still a fair bit of variation to choose from, usually between 15-30cm.Like any power tool running on battery power, a cordless chainsaw grants the user much greater levels of flexibility when it comes to working environment. Most jobs that call for a heavy-duty chainsaw will be carried out in exterior settings, which often don’t provide easy access to mains power. As such, the freedom a cordless chainsaw provides is very appealing. The Limitations of Going Cordless

First and foremost, even if you don’t plan on using your cordless chainsaw for heavy-duty tasks, you’ll still need to invest in protective clothing and accessories, including chainsaw trousers, boots, gloves, and a hat/helmet, as well as safety goggles and ear defenders (these usually come attached to the helmet). This is something required by law, so don’t take it lightly. To get to the bottom of the best cordless chainsaw, I tested a variety of chainsaws, both from the most renowned and lesser-known manufacturers. I assessed each chainsaw on its assembly ease, design, performance, power, ease of use, safety, and value for money. Here is how I tested: Ryobi recommends using at least a 4.0aH battery with this 18V chainsaw. While it’ll work with smaller ONE+ batteries, your runtime wouldn’t be long enough to make it worth your while. So, since I had a fair bit of wood to get through, I went slightly larger with a 5.0aH battery. DeWalt DCM565N 18V Cordless XR Brushless Chainsaw 30cm is fitted with a Brushless Motor for improved power and run-time which boasts a chain speed of 7.68 metres per second. Because the speed is just under 8 metres per second you don't need a certificate to buy this machine.Thankfully, there’s not a great deal of difference when it comes to weight when deciding between mains operated chainsaws and those of the cordless variety. A good cordless chainsaw will rarely weigh more than 5 kilograms in total.
