Description
Chainsaws compared for cutting speed from soft and hard lumber, noise level, battery life/cutting efficiency, torque on a chainsaw dyno, and minutes of run time per amp hour of battery. Brands: Milwaukee, Knockoff Milwaukee, DeWalt, Knockoff Dewalt, Kobalt, Dewalt, Craftsman, Greenworks, Makita, Knockoff Makita, Ryobi, WORX, WORKPRO, and Mechanicants. I personally bought all of the chainsaws and supplies used to compare the chainsaws to ensure an unbiased review.
