Who Makes the Best Chainsaw?

!±8± Who Makes the Best Chainsaw?

When buying a chainsaw there are several things that one should consider. The most important thing to consider is how will the saw be used? If you are planning on using the saw for general around the home use is one thing, but if you plan on making a living with your new chainsaw is quite another.

There are hundreds of different models of chainsaws made by as many different companies that are for sale in stores all over the world. There are however two brand name chainsaws the tower heads above the rest. Those two are Stihl and Husqvarna each rating about the same in quality and longevity. They are both quite expensive in comparison to some other chainsaws, but if you're shopping for quality you can't go wrong with either of the two chainsaws mentioned above.

Determining who makes the best chainsaw is to say the least a difficult task for obvious reasons. There are as many different uses for a chainsaw as there are chainsaws. If you are buying a chainsaw to work with every day or on a very regular basis then the Stihl or the Husqvarna are definitely recommended. If you are buying a chainsaw for general occasional lite to moderately heavy use the McCullogh, and Poulan chain saws are good for the job.

In a recent pole to see which chainsaw is the best Husqvarna received 41 percent of the votes out of around 3,100, Stihl -came in second with 40 percent of the votes, after that Jonsered received 7 percent, Echo 4 percent and all others a whopping 8 percent. That is not to say that the all others aren't perfectly good chainsaws. You should choose your chainsaw according to your needs.

With any chainsaw that you purchase one of the most important things is maintenance and care. If you don't take proper care of your chainsaw you shouldn't expect it to last for long. What if you never put oil in you lawn mower? It would blow up and it would be you own fault. It works the same way with chainsaws. You take care of them and they will take care of you.

How much your chainsaw weighs and the size of the motor are two more very important things to keep in mind when shopping for a chainsaw. The heavier your chainsaw is the more difficult it will be to handle, so keep it as light weight as possible. Both the Stihl and the Husqvarna chainsaws come in many different weights and sizes.

Safety is another thing to keep in mind when looking to buy a chainsaw. A chainsaw can be very dangerous or even fatal if they are not operated properly. The Stihl chainsaw comes with a safety feature called a, "quick stop" chain brake which will cause the chain to stop turning if kickback occurs. Stihl also has low kickback saw chains and reduced kickback bars.

Stihl isn't the only chainsaw company that offers special safety features on their chainsaws, but all things considered Stihl chainsaws come out on top of the chainsaw pile as number one. Just keep in mind that the number one chainsaw for you is the one that you choose no matter what name brand you choose.

Stihl - Best Chainsaw Manufacturer

!±8± Stihl - Best Chainsaw Manufacturer

A chainsaw is a movable, mechanical and motorized saw. It is used in logging activities like felling, limbing, and bucking. Chainsaws started around the 1830's. Bernard Heine, a German orthopedist, was the known inventor of chainsaw.

Chainsaw is classified as a power tool. It is a dangerous machine if mishandled. Users must be fully knowledgeable of the machine before trying to use it. Know the parts and functions of each for your safety.

A chainsaw has the following parts:

o Chain catcher - this is a plastic or metal guard used to prevent a broken or derailed saw chain from hitting the operator.
o Fly Wheel - a weighted wheel which controls the engine speed and assists in cooling the engine.
o Clutch - it is the connector that controls the driving part of a saw
o Decompression valve - this allows easier starting by releasing saw compression
o Anti-vibration handle system - this relieves stress to the operator's hand, arms and joints.
o Hand Guard -plastic shield that protects the hands from kickback.
o Muffler - reduces engine noise.
o Chain brake - stops the chain when kickback happens to prevent injury.
o Throttle - regulates RPMs by increasing or decreasing the volume of fuel to the cylinders.
o Throttle interlock - this is a locking mechanism that prevents the throttle from activating while the interlock is pressed

There are a lot of chainsaw manufacturers in the market. Some of them are:

- Stihl
- Husqvarna
- Homelite
- Echo
- Jonsered
- Pioneer
- Makita
- Husky
- Ryobi
- BlackDecker
- Mcculloch
- Poutan
- Craftsman
- Remington
- John Deere
- Shindaiwa
- Partner

Despite so many competitors, Stihl remains one of the world's best manufacturers of chainsaws. Their products are versatile to hobbyists and professionals. Their wide selection of chainsaws suits the different needs of farmers, professional loggers, landscapers, construction crews and fire departments.

Popular Models of Stihl

MS 180 C-B has a fast engine and is easy to use. It has a STIHL Quickstop inertial chain break and an anti-vibration system. The standard chain adjuster is the Stihl's Quick Chain Adjuster (B).

Getting To Know Chainsaw Manufacturing's Lesser Lights

!±8± Getting To Know Chainsaw Manufacturing's Lesser Lights

While Husqvarna and Stihl have long been regarded the giants of the chainsaws world, lesser known brands such as Jonsered, Echo, Poulan and McCullogh have gradually been chipping away at their dominance. Better technology and growth in the semi professional use of chainsaws have seen more market opportunities open up for the lesser lights.

This report will offer a brief insight into the world of the smaller chainsaws manufacturer and hopefully offer you, the user, more choice before you decide to buy.

Jonsered

Jonsered is part of the Electrolux group of companies. It is no minnow. It first emerged as a possible player in the chainsaw industry in 1954 when it produced a prototype for what we know today as a one operator saw. It was a revolutionary move over 50 years ago and not many people realise chainsaws were machine monsters back then and had to be operated by at least two people.

Now servicing both the professional and non professional, Jonsered is always on the cutting edge of technology. For example, their turbo chainsaw range have provided users with an easier to start machine and enhanced safety features. They have been around a long time, in fact since the 1880's as a power tool processor and during the last half century, have been silently "snapping at the heels" of the major players in the chainsaw industry.

Echo

As with most Japanese produced products, Echo chainsaws have all the trademark dependability and performance reliability we've come to expect. Echo is the largest chainsaw manufacturer in Japan and has made massive inroads on the world wide stage during the past three decades.

It was once stated Echo produces just about the most appreciated chainsaw on the market. Why? Because their no fuss approach has seen it's machines do what they were designed to do... cut. Their best known feature is their enormous power to size ratio. An excellent example of this is the marvellous CS - 440. Woodcutters have described it as dynamite in a small package...an apt description.

Poulan

Another under the Electrolux group, the Poulan name is synonomous with power tools. Once independently owned and set up by one of the chainsaw industy's pioneers, Claude Poulan, the brand name has come a long way during the past 60 years. It has an interesting history, in fact, it's known Claude Poulan came up with the idea of a smaller power-driven chainsaw after watching prisoners fumble around with the massive machines of the early years during service in World War 2. In fact, his idea to replace the pry-pole operator virtually caused a revolution in the forestry industry.

Poulan often shares its technologies with Husqvarna as part of the Electrolux banner and have developed a very loyal band of supporters. New improvements which have included the SuperClean system have earnt Poulan a strong reputation for producing durable chainsaws.

McCullough And Homelite

Mccullough and Homelite are always highly spoken of in the chainsaw industry. McCullough has been providing woodcutters with excellent chainsaw products for more than 60 years. They specialise in both the gas and electric machines as well as lightweight and heavy duty chainsaws.

Homelite has been around since 1921. It has built a reputation for being innovative and has a long list of achievements in close to 90 years, to back up their claims. In fact, it was "dabbling" in electric chainsaws as far back as the mid 1940's. Homelite has been a major player in producing environmentally safe machine technology.

While Husqvarna and Stihl will be hard to "knock off their perch" as the frontrunners in chainsaw manufacturers, the above mentioned brands are just some which provide consumers with buying options.

Basic Chainsaw Maintenance

!±8± Basic Chainsaw Maintenance

There are not too many outdoor tools more versatile than the chainsaw. From cutting firewood to solid trees;from a delicate to a heavy duty job or whether you use a Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo or Jonsered machine, the trusty chainsaw will perform the job admirably.

Don't be fooled by it's apparent power and effectiveness though. Truth be known, a chainsaw is like a finely tuned athlete;it needs proper but basic maintenance and in return, it will provide you with years of winning performance.

One of the most common areas inexperienced and semi professionals tend to overlook is the chain oiling system. Most chainsaws have either an automatic or manual oiling system and performing regular checks will save you plenty in the long run.

Testing the oiling system is simple and quite straightforward. To perform a check;make sure the oil reservoir is full, hold the saw about 3 inches above a piece of paper(preferably white) and revv the saw a few times. By depressing the oil lever while the saw is revving, you should notice a light oil mist spraying onto the paper. If not, then you may have problems.

There are several steps you can take to locate the source of the problem. For instance, dust may have built up in the oil outlets. Your manual should highlight exactly where those oil outlets are located. They'll require careful cleaning.

Likewise, removing the chain and checking the guide bar for cleanliness is also recommended. Without regular checking of the oil outlets dust and oil build up can "cake" leading to performance restriction.

After performing and correcting these problems and you are still experiencing difficulties, then it's time to consider having your chainsaw looked at by an expert.

As stated earlier, chainsaws require basic maintenance but if performed, you'll get years of regular use and service from them.
