If you’re going to buy a chainsaw; buy a Stihl. I used to be a professional logger and now I run a small service and repair shop for small engines. I think the Stihl brand and everything behind it is great. I don’t care what need you have for a saw, the Stihl’s are the best for almost every application and today they have so many to choose from.

And I can help you with a few tips here if you are going to buy one. First thing to remember is that if you’re not like I was (earning a living with a saw), that your chainsaw simply isn’t going to get a lot of use. BUT – when you do need it, you’re going to want one that is capable of doing MORE than the jobs you have in minde. Even though there’s lots of electric saw options out there – they have poor resale value and generally aren’t as well built for the long term.

Things like how a saw feels in your hands, power and performance – they are all things that matter – as does the use of any tool. While there are many other brands to choose from, such as Echo, Jonsered and of course Stihl – the ol’ Husq’ brand is still my fave.

If you can, go to a store and pick one up. Hold it. Get a sense of how it feels in your grip. This is the same thing you’d do if you were considering hte purchase of any tool. You’ll find that the Stihl feels as good or better than the other brands there.

Understand that these are gas saws which take special fuel. It is two stroke gas that can be purchased pre-made from your local chainsaw dealer. It is specific to these saws and maybe some other small engine tools. Whatever you do, do NOT put gas into the saw from the gas pump where you fuel your car.

You’re going to have to mix gas for a chainsaw too. It’s just part of the realm of these things. However, there are a lot of gas products out there now which are actually pre-mixed chainsaw fuels. These are simply chainsaw-specific two-stroke chainsaw fuels which are made from synthetic gasolines. A basic rule is to NEVER, EVER run your saw with car/ sold at the pump gas. That’s a definite no-no.

At the end of day, please don’t leave your saw where it could hurt others, children or pets. And don’t risk bending the chainbar like one of my customers did when his son backed over it with his car because someone didn’t store it out of the way.

And don’t worry about the gas turning to jello. That doesn’t happen because of the additives that you’ll be using with the gas I recommended that you buy. If you do that, she’ll fire up next year loud and proud – just like the first time you bought it. People who are selling used saws would be wise to tell you if they used the right gas to help make your used chainsaw buying decision more confident.
