There are two types of chainsaws on the market - gas and electric. The freedom and additional power that gas provides often influences our decision but we don't always need a gas chainsaw.

 

Gas may provide additional power but the also are heavier to operate and require more maintenance than an electric chainsaw. Electric is a far better choice for the occasional user.

 

Electrics have their pros and cons too. They are perfect for pruning small trees, are cheap to operate, and require little maintenance. They are also lighter and safer. But remember you are tied to a cord usually about 100 foot. They are not designed to cut large trees and they are underpowered compared to their gas chainsaws.
