Boy, did we open a can of worms whenever we started searching and testing to look for the best battery-powered chainsaw models across a variety of applications. 5 years back, there weren?t that many cordless chainsaws, and also fewer had good enough performance to warrant replacing gas saws.



Fast forward to today and cordless chainsaws meet and even exceed gas performance completely around 16- and 18-inch models. While they haven?t displaced farm and ranch chainsaws just yet, just about any category that uses less than a 50cc engine includes a battery equivalent that?s a solid replacement.

That?s a feature the Makita Couple Shaft system also has, though its gas powerhead uses 4-stroke.
