Unbranded Chainsaws

Chainsaws Can Get the Job Done

When you have a lot of wood to cut, having a chainsaw can make an otherwise tedious task move fairly quickly. There are numerous unbranded chainsaws on eBay, and the used models will likely be some of the cheapest chainsaws that you'll find.

How are chainsaws powered?

Chainsaws can be powered by gas or electric. Pole saws are also sometimes named chainsaws, and they are usually affordably priced if you're looking for cheap chainsaws for sale. Features of each are listed below:

  • Gas: A gas chainsaw is powerful and large enough to cut large trees. These models may weigh anywhere from six to 20 pounds, and they could have a bar length from one to 2 feet.
  • Electric: An electric chainsaw is relatively lightweight and requires low maintenance. Operation is quiet, and no exhaust will be emitted. You can either get a cordless or corded saw. The corded saw maintains a steady connection to the power source. The cordless ones give you flexibility as long as you charge the battery ahead of time.
  • Pole saws: These tools are used mainly for pruning, and their design gives you the ability to reach four or 5 feet above your head. Their bars are usually less than 1 foot long. You can get a gas or electric pole saws in addition to a cheap chainsaw that is manually operated.
What length of bar is recommended?

It really depends on what you intend to use your eBay chainsaw for. Longer bars can cut through wider tree trunks in a single pass, and professionals often use chainsaws with bar lengths of at least 20 inches. Note that when you increase the bar length, you also increase the weight of the tool, and they can become much more front-heavy. 14 to 18 inches is typically considered to be a midrange length. It can be used on many types of trees and think branches. Shorter blades, between 12 to 14 inches, can be used on branches, bushes, and small trees.

To make it more convenient to operate a chainsaw, including Chinese chainsaws that have been imported, these tools come with many features. They could include:

  • Anti-vibration to reduce fatigue
  • Spring-assist starting to make it easier to start things up
  • Automatic oiling for proper lubrication
