What to Consider When Choosing Chainsaws?

Start by assessing your typical workload. For light pruning and trimming, a compact electric or cordless chainsaw with a comfortable grip and low vibration is ideal. For firewood or tree felling, you’ll want a gas-powered machine with a longer bar length and robust chain brake for safety. Think about weight, balance, and ease of starting or restarting after storage. In our Wowcher deals, you’ll find models that balance power and portability for everyday tasks.

Bar length is a key factor: shorter bars are easier to handle in tight spaces, while longer bars cut faster on large trunks. Battery-powered chainsaws have advanced lithium batteries and quick charging, but they may be best for lighter work. Always check chain oil capacity and anti-vibration features to reduce fatigue over long sessions.

Safety should be non-negotiable. Look for automatic chain brakes, low kickback bars, chain catchers, and comfortable PPE like gloves, helmet with face shield, and chaps. Our listings often include bundled safety kits so you can start cutting with confidence.

What Are the Most Popular Types of Chainsaws?

Gas chainsaws offer strong cutting power for heavy timber and professional tasks. They run on petrol and require routine maintenance but provide long runtimes away from outlets. Electric chainsaws are plug-in or battery-powered, quieter, and lighter, making them ideal for garden maintenance and pruning around structures. Cordless battery chainsaws provide a balance of mobility and power, good for branches and smaller trees, with the trade-off of charge life and weight. For tight spaces, consider a top-handle saw used by professionals for pruning and crown thinning, while rear-handle models suit more general use. We also see compact mini chainsaws for light pruning and hobby projects, often designed to be user-friendly for beginners.

Depending on your locale and tasks, you might choose a pole saw attachment to reach high branches without a ladder, or a multi-tool combo that combines pruning shears and a chainsaw in one unit. Battery technology continues to improve, delivering longer run times and faster charging times so you can complete projects with less downtime.

How to Maintain Chainsaws?

Maintenance keeps chainsaws safe and efficient. Regularly check and tighten the bar and chain to the correct tension; a loose chain can derail and cause kickback. Lubricate the chain with fresh bar oil and ensure the oiling system works, especially for electric and cordless models with automatic lubrication. Clean the air filter and carburettor on petrol models, and replace spark plugs when needed. After use, clean debris and store tools in a dry place. When you’re shopping on Wowcher UK, look for maintenance kits and spare chains bundled with the saw to save time and money.

Sharpening the chain regularly keeps cutting efficiency high and reduces wear on the bar. Use the correct filing angle and a sharpener or file guide to maintain a sharp edge. Inspect the bar for wear, replace if the groove is worn, and keep the sprocket clean to avoid costly damage. With our Wowcher UK listings, you can find chains, sharpeners, and oil in convenient bundles so you’re always ready to cut.

What Accessories Complement Chainsaws?

Essential accessories include spare chains, bars of appropriate length, bar oil, a chain sharpening file or guide, and a reliable carrying case. PPE such as safety glasses, ear protection, gloves, helmet with face shield, and chainsaw chaps are critical for safe operation. Additional items like a pruning saw attachment, a pole extension for reaching higher branches, and a chainsaw sharpener can extend the versatility of your tool. Our Wowcher listings often bundle these extras to ensure you’re ready to cut from day one.

Consider a portable fuel can, fuel stabiliser for petrol engines, and a spark plug wrench for on-site maintenance. In addition, anti-vibration gloves and a rugged work belt can greatly improve comfort during longer sessions. Look out for exclusive Wowcher UK bundles that combine chain oil, spare chains, and protective gear for a complete cutting kit.

Do cordless chainsaws cut as well as gas models?

Cordless chainsaws have improved a lot in recent years. While gas models typically deliver higher sustained power and longer runtimes for heavy-duty work, modern cordless saws offer excellent performance for pruning, small-diameter logs, and hobby projects. Battery technology and brushless motors help, but cut speed and chain tension stability can vary by model. If you’re mostly trimming and occasional firewood, a high-quality cordless chainsaw can be a practical choice in our Wowcher UK deals.

What is the best beginner chainsaw?

For new users, a lightweight electric or small cordless chainsaw with automatic chain oiler, low-vibration handle, and simple start mechanism is ideal. Look for models with easy tension adjustment, protective scabbard, and a chain brake. Practise safe starting procedures and always wear PPE. Our Wowcher UK listings include beginner-friendly options with warranty details and customer reviews to help you choose with confidence.

How do I choose the right bar length for chainsaws?

Bar length affects cutting reach and control. Shorter bars (14–16 inches) are nimble and safer for beginners and pruning, while longer bars (18–36 inches) enable faster cutting of larger logs but require more skill and handling space. Heavy-duty gas saws often pair with longer bars, while compact electric or cordless models use shorter bars. Consider your typical wood size, workspace, and storage constraints when browsing Wowcher UK deals.

How often should I sharpen the chain?

Sharpening frequency depends on use. Regular pruning and light cutting require less frequent sharpening, while heavy-duty work quickly wears the chain. Use a round file or a dedicated chain sharpener and maintain the correct filing angle. A sharp chain cuts more safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of kickback. Our Wowcher UK listings sometimes include sharpening tools and replacement chains to keep you cutting smoothly.

Is it safe to operate a chainsaw at home?

Safety is essential for every chainsaw user. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions, wear proper PPE, and keep bystanders at a safe distance. Clear the work area of obstacles, secure the trunk or branches, and maintain a firm stance. Never operate a chainsaw on a ladder or in awkward positions. If you’re new to chainsaws, start with a lighter electric or cordless model and practise basic cuts under supervision or with local guidance. Wowcher UK offers user-friendly options and safety bundles to help you begin cutting with confidence.

From pruning to firewood prep, our chainsaws collection on Wowcher UK is designed to fit a wide range of needs and budgets. Browse, compare, and save on dependable tools, protective gear, and practical accessories that make cutting safer and more enjoyable.
