Buying a Chainsaw
Buying a chainsaw can be made an easy process
when you break it down to smaller decisions: Gas
vs. Electric, New vs. Used, primary application, etc.
There are many options in brands, styles and sizes
of chainsaws. Keep in mind that all saws are de-
signed for the purpose of cutting wood. But not all
saws are created equal. Make sure that you take the
time to choose the best option for your type of use.
Most brands manufacture saws for different applica-
tions.
