Best Cordless Chainsaws

Black&Decker, known for its quality and reliability, presents a tool that should be in every home or garden. The GKC1825L20 model proves that the manufacturer not only keeps up with trends and innovations in the industry but also pays attention to the needs of the end-user.

The automatic oiling system, tool-free mechanism, and convenient bar mounting unit make this chainsaw not only functional but also easy to use. Therefore, even those who are far from professional logging will be able to handle this tool with ease. And, of course, having Oregon fittings is a guarantee of quality and durability.

However, like any tool, this saw has its features. Yes, the bar length of 250 mm and the chain speed of 3 m/s do not make it the most productive tool, but for home needs and garden maintenance, this is quite enough.

The price, considering the entire set provided and the quality of the components, really represents an attractive offer. After all, having both the saw and the charger, and the battery in one set is convenient and advantageous. And given the claimed performance on one battery charge, this tool becomes even more attractive for home use.

As a result, the Black&Decker GKC1825L20 is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and convenient tool for home needs. With this saw, garden care becomes easier and more enjoyable.

When choosing a cordless power tool, autonomy is of considerable importance. Therefore, the Einhell Expert FORTEXXA 18/30 chain saw is equipped with a brushless motor. As is known, thanks to sensitive control electronics, motors of this type use energy from the battery more efficiently, allowing for longer work on a single charge. In addition, brushless motors provide increased power and higher tool reliability (for example, for this saw, the manufacturer provides a 10-year motor warranty with product registration on their website).

Another interesting feature of this saw is the presence of two operating modes, which allow you to choose the optimal balance of power and energy savings. In the HIGH mode, the saw operates at maximum: the engine speed reaches 4500 RPM, and the chain moves at a speed of 9 m/s. By moving the switch to the ECO position, you can reduce the engine (3500 RPM) and chain (6 m/s) speeds to more economically use battery energy and extend the tool's operating time on a single charge.

The Einhell Expert FORTEXXA 18/30 battery-powered saw is equipped with cutting equipment from Oregon (chains and bars of this brand are considered a quality standard). The saw gear is attached with a convenient mechanism allowing for blade installation and chain tension adjustment without using auxiliary tools. The automatic pump and 160 ml oil tank allow for long work without the need to interrupt for oil refills. The manufacturer recommends using batteries with a capacity of at least 4 Ah as a power source (such a battery will allow for up to 156 cross-sections of a 70x70 mm wooden block in ECO mode on a single charge).

In general, this saw can be safely recommended for purchase as a household tool that will be used for garden work or on a homestead.

As many know, Bosch "green" tools belong to the DIY range, which is focused on the needs of home craftsmen, gardeners, and homestead owners. The Bosch UniversalChain 18 06008B8070 chainsaw is no exception. It is not a professional tool and is intended for solving relatively simple tasks. However, its size is more "domestic." This device is characterized by compact size, light weight (a saw that weighs no more than 3 kg is considered very light), and well-thought-out ergonomics. In particular, the tool boasts a tool-free mechanism for blade attachment and chain tension adjustment, as well as an automatic cutting equipment lubrication system. Therefore, even those who have never held a chainsaw before will not encounter problems with assembly, maintenance, and tool settings.

The main area of application for this tool is garden maintenance. This can be determined by the presence of a toothed tip on the bar. It helps to grip and hold branches when pruning trees. However, it should be noted that the bar is quite short (only 200 mm), and the tip further reduces the useful length. Therefore, the maximum diameter of the branch or log that can be cut using this tool is about 135 mm. So the Bosch UniversalChain 18 06008B8070 is unlikely to be able to cut through thick logs, but it handles simpler tasks like cutting firewood for a stove, fireplace, or fireplace, as well as cutting boards for small construction projects very well. Among other details that potential buyers should know about, the cutting chain should be noted. It is of high quality (manufactured by Oregon), chromed and well-sharpened. Therefore, there is reason to believe that it will last a long time during household use. But it should be noted that saw chains of this size (with 33 links), although not exclusive or unique, are not very common in sales.

The package includes a charger and a 2.5 Ah lithium-ion battery. The manufacturer assures that the capacity of this battery is enough to make 40 cuts of branches 75 mm in diameter. If you already have batteries from the Bosch Power for ALL 18V family, you can buy a version without a battery ( Bosch UniversalChain 18 06008B8001) and save money.

The cordless Sealey CP20VCHSKIT1 chainsaw is well-suited for gardening. It is lightweight (the tool weighs only 3.26 kg) and the tool's body, thanks to its longitudinal motor placement, is narrow and elongated. Therefore, this saw is convenient to use in dense tree crowns when performing seasonal branch treatment. The front handle loops around the body from the top and side, allowing for different hand positions on the grips depending on how you hold the tool: vertically, horizontally, or at an angle.

The saw is equipped with an Oregon bar and chain. The cutting gear of this brand is considered quality, reliable, and durable, and thanks to it being widely available for purchase, you will not have issues or delays in selecting the right accessories. Note that the bar has a small length (250 mm), typical for "garden" saws. However, in most cases, this length is enough for trimming branches on a tree or cutting firewood for a campfire on a picnic. The automatic lubrication system provides a continuous measured supply of oil to the cutting gear during sawing. The tool-free mechanism allows quickly and easily adjusting the chain tension without the use of auxiliary tools.

The Sealey CP20VCHSKIT1 kit includes a charger, a 4 Ah battery, a plastic protective cover for the bar, and a textile bag designed for the storage and transportation of the tool along with attachments and accessories necessary for the job. This saw can also be purchased in other configurations: Sealey CP20VCHSKIT (with two 4 Ah batteries) and Sealey CP20VCHS ("bare" tool without a battery and charger).

One of the key advantages of the DeWALT DCM565P1 cordless chainsaw is its brushless motor. This type of motor, as is known, has numerous advantages, including increased power and economical battery usage. But in the context of chainsaws, the most interesting feature of brushless motors is their resistance to dirt. These motors, due to the absence of brushes and commutator assemblies, are practically immune to sawdust clogging. In addition, the electronics controlling the motor allow for smooth chain speed regulation (up to 7 m/s at maximum speed) simply by varying the pressure on the trigger.

The ergonomics of this saw are well-designed. The top handle placement allows for skillful maneuvering while working. The handles are covered with rubber pads, providing a good grip. The battery is inserted into a socket located at the rear of the body and covered by the handle, making it difficult to accidentally damage the battery while working in dense tree crowns. The oil tank has a transparent window for visually monitoring the oil level. The design of the bar mounting unit and the chain tension adjustment mechanism allow for tool assembly and adjustment without the use of keys and screwdrivers. The cutting gear that comes with the tool bears the Oregon label — a leading global manufacturer of bars and chains for saws. The package also includes a plastic cover for the bar, a charger, and a high-capacity battery — 5 Ah. According to measurements and tests, a charge is sufficient to make 65 cross-sections of a 150x150 mm square wooden block.

The DeWALT DCM565P1 chainsaw can be considered a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of tasks. It is equally well-suited for seasonal tree pruning in gardens and parks, removing branches from fallen trees, preparing firewood (in moderate amounts) for a fireplace or wood-burning boiler, as well as performing some construction and demolition work. DeWALT tools, of course, are not "budget-friendly." But if you already have DeWALT 18V XR or DeWALT Flexvolt batteries, you can buy DeWALT DCM565N (a configuration without a battery and charger) and save some money.
