Trees are one of the greatest joys of any garden or yard. The problem is that they don’t understand when to stop growing. Deciding on the ideal saw to keep your trees healthy and under control will help you save time and energy. One of the most ideal powered saw that you could consider buying is the battery-powered chainsaw. In this article, we will take a look at the best powered tree saws for garden maintenance.
Pole Saws
Pole saws are simply saws with an extension rod. You’ll find manual pole saws and motorized pole saws that use an electric or gas chainsaw on an extension pole. They make pruning trees from the ground much easier. Repositioning a ladder repeatedly can be tedious work, and for many people, working from a ladder is downright annoying. With a pole saw, you save yourself the hassle of using a ladder, which makes pruning easier and allows you to better see what you’re doing, which is essential if you want your tree to look good later.
Chainsaws
Chainsaws are the most common powered saw that can cut off a hundred-foot pine tree in a few minutes. They are lightweight electric models that can make pruning or removing small fallen branches quick and easy. Chainsaws can be gas, electric or cordless, and each type has advantages and disadvantages. For example, gas chainsaws are the most powerful, but they require regular maintenance. If you leave them for too long, they can be challenging to start. On the other hand, electric chainsaws need to be near a power outlet.
Also, cordless ones are adequate and can often be powerful enough to get the job done, but only while the battery lasts. The size of your yard is critical to your choice. Smaller yards do well with an electric option. Larger yards that want to become a forest may need gasoline. Chainsaws are considered the most practical powered saws people can use.
Jawsaws
Jawsaws are not as fast as traditional chainsaws. They are safer to use. Kickback is less of an issue, and you are well protected by the (much smaller) teeth that cut backward. These powered saws can be used to cut downed wood, cut thick branches, and cut live trees up to a few inches in diameter. Worx is one company that offers a pine saw with an extension bar for a longer radius.
Reciprocating Saws
The reciprocating saws are tools that a gardener may never need, but it comes in handy in certain situations. Reciprocating saws work like regular hand saws, with a back end and when the blade moves, though an electric motor provides power. They are advantageous in hard-to-reach areas. Among the most difficult tasks in almost any garden are heavy roots that are difficult to cut underground. This type of powered saw is long, thin, and easier to use.
