Chain Saws

When you have limbs or trees to cut, nothing handles the job better than a good chain saw. When handled carefully and safely, chain saws can make short work of storm damage and trimming jobs. There are several things you should consider when buying a chain saw. With chain saws, as most other things, you get what you pay for. Durable and reliable saws typically cost more. Common sense also plays into price. Larger more powerful saws will run you more than smaller saws.

Choosing the right saw depends on you and your needs. The smallest saws can be used by climbers to delimb or trim tree branches. These are typically light 12-14 inch bar saws. Saws in the 14-18 inch bar range are good all around saws that can handle most jobs. These are also good for users on occasional jobs. Running a big chain saw when you're not used to it, can lead to fatigue and injury. You don't want to run a chain saw when you're tired. Larger chain saws with 24 or more inches are made for cutting large tree trunks.
