The chiansaw - the necessary tool, both in life, and at the dacha. It can be useful for cutting firewood for the fireplace, as well as for felling and branching. However, not everyone knows how to make a choice in terms of price and quality for the home and garden. On the brand of a manufacturer to stay, so that it serves for a long time and reliably.
Today the range of tools of this kind is very wide. If before the choice was limited to "Friendship" and "Taiga", now products from Western manufacturers have appeared on the market.
All chainsaws can be divided into three main categories.
Work
Before you decide Which chainsaw to choose, you need to think about where it will be applied.
Today there are a lot of manufacturers on the market. The choice depends only on the wallet and the preferences of the buyer. Between price and quality is best to prefer the latter option.
Chill chainsaws differ in numbers. So, the number 36 is ideal for felling, and for household work you can stay on the tool from the series 18-21.
Sturm
One of the most famous brands on the market is Sturm. The company produces chainsaws of various capacities, which can be useful both in everyday life and when felling.
A simple low-power saw of foreign production will cost 5-6 thousand. The average semi-professional will cost closer to 10 thousand. Therefore, before you choose a tool for giving, you will have to calculate your budget well.
The advantage of the "Sturm" saws is that they are comfortable, safe and have good chains of wear-resistant materials. Working with such a tool is a pleasure.
Analogue of "Sturm" - Swedish manufacturer of "Partner". It is cheaper, has almost the same characteristics as the competitor, but has a number of weak points. Thus, it is better to replace the chain of chainsaws with the Sturmovsk chain. Another weak point - the body of the saw. It can quickly melt if you do not clean the tool on time. The reason for this - too close location of the muffler to the body.
Husqvarna-357xp Another good option is a chainsaw from the Husqvarna line. These saws are of sufficient quality. For felling it is better to take the felling "Huskvarna". These saws also have numbers. For rolls, the number 357 will do. The cost of such a tool is in the range of 30-35 thousand.
To make the right choice, you need to reconsider all possible options. You also need to know the problems that often face the owners of gasoline tools.
Speed
Chain element Chains for saws are different. Therefore, we must choose them, focusing on the complexity of the work. So, simple low-profile chains are well suited for simple work in the country or at home. They have both advantages and disadvantages. Their plus is that such chains have a smooth course and almost do not create vibrations. This is because their pitch is only 0.325 inches.
On powerful saws, chains have a pitch of about 0.404 inches. From the chain pitch depends on the performance of the tool. On low profile performance is small.
In order to work under difficult conditions, as well as with complex materials, you will need a chain of highly durable materials. For example, for cutting wet or frozen wood, a conventional chain, even with high performance, will not work. Here you need a headset with tipped from hard alloy.
By the way, when choosing powerful saws, you need to pay attention to the fact that their power has a very wide variation. It can vary from 2 to 5-6 kW. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the purchase, based on the complexity of the proposed work.
