A filter grouping the heaviest saws here.
This is a filter rather than a buying category: it groups the heaviest saws here. It is deliberately kept out of search results, because the useful way to shop is by power source or by bar length.
Heavy saws are heavy because they have big engines and long bars. They fell and mill timber that nothing lighter will touch, and they are tiring to use freehand for long. Weight is the price of capability at this end.
Makita UC4051A Review pairs a 40 cm (16 in) bar and mains electric power. With 40 cm of bar, expect to deal with logs up to about 35 cm without thinking about it, and up to 40 cm in one pass. Beyond that you are working from both sides, which is fine for firewood and …
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.
