Which chainsaw is better, gasoline or electric, what to choose for your summer house, home and why?

Compare - identify the main differences

Electric and gasoline saws have almost the same cutting headset and operating principle. The saw chain slides along the ellipse of the bar, and the wood is cut by sharp teeth made of special alloys.

The difference is in the drive. Electro are driven by electric motors and consume electricity. The gasoline engine has a two-stroke internal combustion engine running on gasoline as its power plant. But this difference leads to the fact that these two units differ markedly in their properties in practical work.

In addition to the difference in energy sources, gas and electric saws have big differences in power characteristics.

As can be seen from the photo, on the left is an electric motor with a winding and an armature, and on the right is an internal combustion engine: piston, cylinder, crankshaft, etc.

The maximum power of electric chain saws is up to 2.5 kW. It is almost impossible to install a more powerful engine on such saws for the following reasons:

1. The power saw becomes heavy and cumbersome.
2. An electric motor with a power of about 5 kW requires a separate powerful cable and connection sockets. When starting, the electric motor, unlike electric stoves and heating elements, takes 3 times the rated power. That is, a 5 kW motor is 15 kW. All wiring and circuit breakers must be designed for this power.

Two-stroke internal combustion engines of powerful chainsaw models can develop power up to 6 kW.

There is a big difference in the speed indicators:

1. An electric motor of 3000 rpm is already considered high-speed.
2. The number of maximum (for all gas) rpm of the internal combustion engine on different models is from 12,000 to 15,000.

Such a difference in speed does not mean that the chain on an electric saw spins 4-5 times slower than at maximum on a chainsaw. Low speeds are partially mitigated by a higher gear ratio than chainsaws.

As a result, the electric saw turns the chain only 20-40% slower than a saw with an internal combustion engine. But, according to the laws of physics, while gaining speed due to a higher gear, the electric saw loses power.

Therefore, a consumer who replaces a 1.8 kW chainsaw with an electric saw of the same power will be disappointed by the poor performance precisely because of the low number of revolutions.

Chainsaw device. Visually there is practically no difference from the electric one.

There are fundamental differences in the drive design. Chainsaws have clutches. Therefore, the chain of a chainsaw running at idle speed does not rotate. Electric saws do not have clutches. The movement of the chain begins immediately after the soft start button is turned on.

The bar fastening and chain tensioning systems differ. On electric saws they are keyless. On most models of chainsaws, the tire is tightened in a more proven way, with nuts using a wrench. The tightening force of this type is visually controlled and is more reliable.

Oil pumps for supplying lubricant to the saw set operate on the same principle in both versions. Sometimes electric saws have pumps exactly the same as those on chainsaws.

Electric chain saw device

There is a difference in the layout of the mechanisms and the location of the center of gravity. All chainsaw models are thoughtfully balanced to ensure a comfortable grip. As a result, when lifted by the handle, all chainsaws are effortlessly in the working position, the tire or rear end does not hang down.

Holding a power saw in your hands requires more effort because the location of the cable at the back may vary. It either lies on the ground or hangs down and pulls the back of the power saw down.

The layout of electric chain saws comes in two types: with a transverse and longitudinal arrangement of the electric motor. With the first option, the left side is a little heavier due to the engine part hanging to the left. Holding such a power saw requires little effort, which can become tiring over long periods of use. The longitudinal version is centered along the axis, but the cable creates more noticeable inconvenience.

Design features of electric saws

The main design difference between gas and electric saws is the different types of drive and power units. Obviously, but electric ones use an electric motor that can be installed longitudinally or transversely. The type of viscous coupling depends on this. In the first, rotational motion is transmitted through a gearbox; in transverse motion, this is carried out directly.

Healthy! In fact, the design of the models can be called identical: the operation of the engine rotates the sprocket, which in turn pulls the saw chain.

Summary comparison table

For those who want to get a quick answer to the differences between these tools, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table; it briefly explains the main differences between a gasoline saw and an electric one.

COMPARED FACTOR	ELECTRIC SAW	GASOLINE SAW
Convenience	Lighter, but less comfortable due to constant tugging cord	More convenient, but the more powerful, the heavier
Mobility	Dependence on the “socket”	Work wherever you want, the main thing is to take fuel with you
Noise	Below 100 dB – quiet	Above 100 dB – noisy
Weight, kg	30-45	30-100
Service cost	Low, for example, because there is no carburetor and the electric motor, in principle, requires less maintenance	High, simply because there are more components in the design of tools with internal combustion engines
Cost of operation	Low – you only need money for electricity	High, the cost of gasoline is higher than electricity, you also need to add oil to the fuel
Reliability	Higher, because there's nothing special to break	Below
Saw cost	Cheaper than chainsaws. The cheapest costs 2000-3000 rubles.	More expensive than an electric saw. The cheapest costs 4000-5000 rubles.

Which chainsaw is best to buy?

One of the main technical characteristics of a chainsaw is engine power. The required indicator depends on the scope of the tool and affects its performance. For infrequent work on a personal plot, a model with a power of about 2 kW will be sufficient, while intensive operation and solving professional problems will require a value of 5-6 kW.

It is worth paying attention to the length of the tire. It determines the permissible thickness of the log that can be cut in one go:

• Preparation of boards for private construction or country logging necessitates the need for a tire no longer than 35 cm.
• For comfortable felling of trees on an industrial scale, we recommend purchasing a chainsaw with a bar of at least 50 centimeters.

During long-term operation, the volume of the fuel tank plays an important role. It should be remembered that this parameter directly affects the dimensions and weight of the tool, the convenience of long-term use without operator fatigue. Therefore, the optimal tank capacity is in the range from 0.2 to 0.5 liters.

When choosing, it is necessary to take into account the chain pitch. The performance of the chainsaw largely depends on it. The required indicator depends on the specifics of the intended use of the tool. So, for small country work, a model with a chain pitch of 0.375 inches is suitable, firewood harvesting - 0.325", large-scale felling - 0.404".

To reduce the likelihood of injuries of various types, we recommend purchasing models with a noise level no higher than 100 dB, anti-vibration protection and emergency chain braking systems.

Cost of operation

This concept includes the cost of energy (electricity and gasoline consumed), consumable parts and repairs.

In practice, the cost of electricity and gasoline for sawing 10 cubic meters. Firewood with approximately the same footage is cut the same way.

Cutting accessories - tires and chains for electric and chainsaws cost approximately the same.

Electric saws also use oil to lubricate the chain and saw unit. Its consumption and cost in these two types of saws are approximately equal.

An internal combustion engine is a much more complex mechanism than an electric motor. Therefore, it has a higher probability of breakdowns and repair costs.

But breakdowns are also possible with electric saws, and high-quality chainsaws break down extremely rarely. Therefore, it is almost impossible to calculate the comparative cost of repairs and take them into account in the cost of operation.

Comparison by complexity of operation and maintenance

We continue to compare units

Which is better - a chainsaw or an electric saw? At the same time, you still need to take into account the complexity of operation and preparation for work. Using the tool, you will understand that electric saws are easier to prepare for the process

All you need to do is install the saw set, fill the tank with oil and plug in the plug. And if you have a high-quality model, it should have a quick-release device, with which you can not only tighten the chain, but also replace it in a matter of seconds.

If you can’t decide whether to choose a chainsaw or an electric saw, it’s worth considering that the former has more difficulty in preparing for work. Professional and semi-professional units have conventional clamps on nuts, which simply cannot be disassembled without a key. In this case, the chain will need to be tightened using a screwdriver or hex key. It will take much longer, but the settings are guaranteed to hold tight.

For a chainsaw, you can prepare the mixture in a few minutes. Gasoline and oil can be mixed using a special graduated container. The proportions and quantities can be any. One tank refill is usually enough for 50 minutes of operation. Thus, if you prepare about 3 liters of fuel in the morning, you will be provided with it for the whole day. The mixture should not be prepared for future use, because its properties deteriorate during long-term storage.

Advantages and disadvantages of gasoline

The main advantage of a chainsaw is not only higher power and performance. More:

1. Independence from the availability of power grids and autonomy. This is a self-sufficient tool that can work in the taiga, forest plantations, gardens and anywhere. Of course, if you have a canister of fuel.
2. In rainy weather, in damp places there is no need to think about electrical safety.

The disadvantages include:

1. Noise power during operation up to 110 decibels.
2. Emission of toxic exhaust gases, making it impossible to work indoors.

A relative disadvantage is the higher price compared to an electric saw of similar power . The difference can be up to 40%. The main thing here is to compare similar saws not only by characteristics, but also by manufacturers. You should not compare Stihl gasoline saws with Carver electric saws - these are 2 brands that are completely different in cost, the latter is, in principle, 2-3 times cheaper.

What is better than a chainsaw or electric saw - reviews

With a chain saw we can quickly cut down the trees in the garden and prepare firewood. Electric models are generally cheaper and lighter than gasoline ones (up to 4 kg). They do not emit exhaust gases and are always ready for use. The power of electric saws for home and garden work is 1.3-2 kW. Unfortunately, the electrical cord is located under your feet, and the length of the cord determines the range of the device. The smallest chainsaws have a two-stroke engine with a power of 1.5-3 kW. They are louder and heavier due to the engine. Although such devices allow free maneuvering without limiting us to the length of the cord, they, unfortunately, vibrate a lot in the hands. It should be noted that the device may have a vibration reduction feature. It is also important to take into account fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

For both electric and petrol models, it's worth checking how much a new chain costs and how it's tightened before you buy. If you rarely use the equipment, the length of the guide is less important and 35-40 cm is sufficient. For frequent use, it is recommended to buy a saw sharpener.

Before buying a tool, it is worth studying its technical characteristics, as well as reading reviews about different models, their strength, reliability, operating features and service life. If you have reviews about an electric saw or chainsaw, possible breakdowns, or features of use, you can leave them in the form of comments to this article. They will help others interested in choosing the appropriate model.

Pros and cons of electric

The undoubted advantages include the following points:

1. Always ready to work. There is no need to mix gasoline with oil, store and pour fuel into the tank, and start it by pulling the starter. Work begins with the press of a button.
2. The electric motor operates more stable than the internal combustion engine, which sometimes stalls at idle.
3. Low noise during operation.
4. Environmentally friendly, no exhaust gases, the ability to work in enclosed spaces.

The disadvantages of electric saws are the following:

1. Working with large hardwoods can be limited by lack of power and rpm.
2. The radius of application is limited by the length of the portable cable.
3. The electric motor overheats quickly. Every 40 minutes of operation at medium load, it must be allowed to cool for about 20 minutes. In hot weather - even more often.
4. The need to monitor electrical safety. For example, on construction sites where active work is underway, the cable may be accidentally damaged.

Some users note that the saw set of electric saws fails faster than that of gasoline ones. In fact, this happens due to the oversight of the users themselves. Often people simply forget to add oil to the saw lubrication tank.

When the chainsaw inevitably needs to be refueled, oil is added simultaneously, almost automatically. On electric saws, it is enough to miss this moment once, and after only half an hour of working on a dry groove, the tires, sprockets and chain may fail.

An experienced user can determine the presence of lubricant without even checking the oil level. A lubricated chain has a matte oil sheen. When you turn it by hand with the engine off, you feel a soft move and muffled sounds. An ungreased, dry chain shines with a light metallic sheen, and during operation it makes specific light ringing and knocking noises.

Principle of operation

When comparing which chain saw is better: gasoline or electric, you should first analyze the operating principle of the tools. The heart of the chainsaw is a two-stroke engine, powered by a fuel mixture of gasoline mixed with oil. Starting is carried out by a manual starter. After starting, the power unit idles, but the chain does not move until a special button is pressed.

Operating an electric saw requires connection to a power source. The tool is connected to the network and, after pressing the “Start” button, the saw chain begins to move. In this case, there are fewer preparatory steps, but the disadvantage is the “attachment” to the wire.

What problems is benzos best suited for?

A chainsaw is more convenient than an electric saw for working at a distance of more than 10-20 m from an electrical outlet (one 10 or 20 meter extension cord). It is not always convenient to unwind and rewind extension cords over long distances, even if they are available. Especially if there is little work.

A chainsaw is also appropriate for large amounts of work, especially with large-section wood. In everyday life, this is most often the preparation of firewood.

For working in “wild nature” conditions or at a distance from power grids, a chainsaw without a choice is the only option (electric in this case is not a competitor).

Chainsaw

here

The following classes are presented on the consumer market:

• Household. These are chainsaws that are designed to work occasionally. They have low power, light weight and compact dimensions (mini chainsaws). It is convenient to use such a unit, for example, for preparing firewood for a fireplace. Their functionality is usually limited. It is optimal to use household chainsaws no more than 20 hours per month.
• Semi-professional. These saws have significantly more features. They are used in a variety of jobs, from repairs to felling. Having sufficient power, they cannot be used for 8–10 hours a day; such active use can lead to breakdown. Their optimal use is as a lopper in logging.
• Professional. This type of tool is most often used for felling trees. Chainsaws have significant power and functionality. They can be used without interruption for a long time (up to 16 hours a day).

Advantages:

• Independent of power supply.
• Can work in any environmental conditions.
• High power of professional and semi-professional chainsaws, which significantly exceeds any electric tool option.
• Possibility of long-term work.
• Reliability and long service life.

Flaws:

• Considerable weight.
• The release of exhaust gases that are harmful to humans and the environment.
• High noise level.
• Significant vibration that complicates the operator's task.
• Refueling required.

In severe frost conditions, starting a gasoline unit becomes much more difficult.

When should you choose electric?

The place where it is used, where a chainsaw cannot replace it, is enclosed spaces. For example, a carpentry workshop.

In addition to chain saws, there are many models of circular (circular) hand-held electric saws. This is an excellent tool for carpentry and joinery work. It is adjustable for depth and angle cutting. But the cutting depth of the most popular models is no more than 50-60 mm.

For larger cross-section workpieces, electric chain saws are used.

A power saw is better suited for work at odd hours or even during business hours when the roar of a chainsaw is highly undesirable.

Before purchasing, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the current rating of electric chain saws. The article provides an overview of the most popular and reliable tools today. The characteristics, pros and cons of the tools are given.

An electric chainsaw can also help when you need to get a small (or even one-time) job done in the most economical way possible. The most inexpensive electric chain saw on the market today costs only 1,800 rubles. (The most expensive is about 20 thousand).

Introduction

The question from the title can be considered in several aspects:

• Which of the two types of chain saws is more reliable?
• which one is safer?
• Which one is easier to use?
• Which saw is more productive?
• Which saw is more economical?
• Which chain saw is best to use for certain jobs?

To answer these questions, it is advisable to first consider the features of both types of chain saws. But before that, it’s worth noting that electric saws can only be compared with chainsaws with a power of up to 2 kW. This is due to the fact that the maximum power consumption of electric saws is 2.5 kW. Therefore, it would be strange to compare chainsaws with a power of 3-5 kW - there are simply no electric saws similar in this parameter, so it is pointless to look for an electric alternative for such chainsaws. And let’s not forget that 2.5 kW for electric saws is only power consumption, of which a fairly large part is simply lost to heat.

Converting petrol to electric

Sometimes, our visitors ask us questions about converting from one type of chain saw to another, both from a chainsaw to an electric saw, and vice versa. Theoretically, and practically, this is possible (we have come across such options), but you need to understand that any alteration is prohibited by the manufacturer .

We strongly do not recommend doing such tuning, because... Is it dangerous. Such a tool may cause damage or injury to the operator.

As an example, we suggest watching a video on the topic of remodeling. The author of the video made an electric saw from a Druzhba chainsaw and an engine from a washing machine.

Top 5 best chainsaw sharpening machines

The main element of a corded or corded saw is a sharp chain that ensures an even cut. From time to time it needs to be sharpened on a special machine.

But users do not consider this a serious drawback; the low cost of the unit and its functionality outweigh the disadvantages.

You can buy a chain sharpening machine Caliber for 1900 rubles

Rezer EG85-CN

A convenient and reliable machine with a speed of 4800 ensures good and fairly fast sharpening of the chain saw. It has low stability and requires fastening, but there is no need to screw the unit, it has a special clamping clamp.

The average price of a Rezer machine is 2,400 rubles

Whirlwind SZTs-200

The domestic machine allows you to quickly sharpen any chain of a cordless or electric saw. The unit supports 6000 rpm, processing the web does not take much time.

Important! The machine is equipped with a special system for removing hot air from the body and does not overheat during operation. You can buy a sharpening machine Whirlwind for 2100 rubles

Champion C2000

A high-quality machine maintains 4000 revolutions per minute and sharpens the saw chain sharply and quickly. The user can adjust the pitch using 2 bolts; the unit is fastened to the base using a convenient clamp. The bed is rotating, which provides greater opportunities for processing the blade.

The cost of the Champion C2000 machine starts from 2300 rubles

Scope of application

When choosing a device, take into account the operating features. If you plan to use the equipment at home, where the amount of work will be small, there will be no need to constantly saw; using both options is approximately equally convenient.

For gardening work, a gasoline saw is better. It doesn't weigh too much, works in different weather conditions, and is mobile. The radius of its movement is not limited. The electric option will be limited by cable length; In addition, it is unsafe in wet weather, in the morning with dew.

A gasoline saw should also be chosen for work in the forest. There is no way to connect a cable; it is necessary to cut a large number of trees, so the electric option will quickly become unusable. In addition, weather conditions may also be unfavorable.

For construction work, the electric option is well suited. If the work is carried out indoors in a small number of rooms, this technique will be more convenient. It works more quietly, which will be more convenient for people around and neighbors. In addition, when using it, exhaust gases will not occur.

Electric saws are most often made for short-term work on construction or summer cottages, and for domestic use. If you plan to perform a large amount of work using the device, give preference to gasoline options.

Best Cordless Electric Chainsaws

These chainsaws are powered by a battery with a capacity of 2.0-5.0 Ah. The complete absence of wires makes it possible to use such a chain saw on the spacious territory of a construction site, where the foreman has to move frequently. It is also useful when working at heights and allows you to easily climb scaffolding or a stepladder without constantly monitoring the length of the wire.

One of the disadvantages of these chainsaws is energy consumption. A powerful engine consumes quite a lot of electricity, so its reserve is quickly consumed and it will not be possible to work all day with one battery. In this case, purchase several batteries, installed one by one.

Here is the reliability rating of electric chainsaws from this category that users especially liked.

Husqvarna 436 Li	Greenworks GD40CS40

6. You need to wait 2 hours until fully charged.
7. Discharges in 90 minutes with intensive use.
8. There is some vibration.

Conclusion. The saw is well suited for use on a construction site or gardening. It is convenient to cut down old trees and trim excess branches.

Mobility

An electric saw is inferior to a gasoline saw in this regard. For the device to work, it must be connected to an electrical network. You won’t be able to move far from the outlet; The sawyer's freedom of movement will be limited by the length of the cable. To move to another area, you will have to connect the cable to a new outlet located closer to the place where you need to cut. However, the device is lightweight and can be operated by women and teenagers.

A chainsaw is more convenient: it can be easily moved to another place. However, the device is heavier than an electrical device, which makes it less easy and convenient to carry. The gasoline-powered version can be used for work in the forest, in large areas where there is no electricity or the ability to connect to the network.

Reliability

A chainsaw is a safer device because there is no risk of getting an electric shock during operation. The electric option cannot be used for work in wet weather or with high indoor humidity. You are equally likely to get injured by the cutting part of the device when using an electric or gasoline saw.

It is important to buy a quality tool. Poor quality equipment can cause injury. This is true for both options.

High-quality gasoline saws last longer than electric ones. Since these devices are more powerful, developers make them more durable. Chainsaws are wear-resistant, designed to withstand heavy loads, and are suitable for long-term work. Mechanical damage to these devices is less likely than breakdowns of power saws.

The service life depends on the quality of the device and compliance with the rules of its operation: if you do not take care of the tool, the likelihood of failure will increase for both options.

The best professional electric chain saws

Such models are used for felling timber, industrial timber harvesting, construction of construction projects or in carpentry workshops.

They are distinguished by an increased working life of more than 1000 engine hours, high productivity and engine power of up to 3 kW, but they are an order of magnitude more expensive than their household counterparts.

But the characteristics of such a tool allow it to be used for a long time without the risk of overheating.
