Chewing through chores with chainsaws


Chances are you don’t need a big, powerful chainsaw like the ones road clearing crews use. Plenty of good, smaller-size ones are suitable for homeowners — some are gas-powered (they have two-stroke engines), and some are electric-powered (which have the advantage of being quieter). Either way, confirm that important safety features are present, namely
  • A two-handed switch
  • A chain brake that triggers if the saw kicks back
Although a chainsaw can be invaluable, it can also destroy hedges that were meant to be trimmed with hedge shears and can do major damage to you if you don’t show it respect!
