Chainsaws by Power Type

Gas for all-day work, battery for grab-and-go convenience, or corded for cheap yard duty? Start with the power type that fits how you cut, then compare the best picks in each.

Gas

30 models

Two-stroke muscle from 30cc homeowner saws to 90cc+ felling iron — unlimited runtime with a fuel can, and still the choice for all-day firewood and timber work.

Battery

18 models

Instant start, near-silent, near-zero maintenance. Modern 40-80V saws genuinely match small gas saws cut for cut — the runtime budget is the only real limit.

Corded Electric

4 models

Plug in and cut: the cheapest and lightest way to run a saw near the house or shop, with no fuel, batteries, or engine upkeep — just an extension cord leash.
