A filter grouping petrol saws with a recoil starter.
This is a filter rather than a buying category: it groups petrol saws with a recoil starter. It is deliberately kept out of search results, because the useful way to shop is by power source or by bar length.
Every petrol chainsaw starts on a recoil cord. The technique is short brisk pulls rather than long slow ones, with the saw on the ground and a foot through the rear handle. Spring-assisted systems such as Stihl ErgoStart make it much softer.
On paper the UWINGARDEN Petrol Handle Chainsaw Review comes down to a 50 cm (20 in) bar and petrol power. The usable cutting length is 50 cm, which puts this saw squarely on timber up to around 45 cm. The working rule is to keep the bar about 5 cm longer than the wood you …
Start with the job. Decide the bar length from the thickest wood you cut regularly, add about 5 cm, then pick the power source: petrol for firewood and felling, cordless for pruning and garden work, corded for the most cutting power per pound within reach of a socket.
Then compare within that group: 12 inch, 14 inch, 16 inch, 18 inch or 20 inch.
