Chain Saw Reviews and Buying Guide:Chain saws can come in handy when cutting down large trees or branches that would take too long with a regular saw. One of the most recognized names in chain saws is Stihl and their website described their company as "STIHL is a world leader in the manufacturing of versatile consumer and professional chain saws and other power tools. There are many models in the STIHL line to allow homeowners, weekend woodcutters, farmers, professional loggers, landscapers, construction crews and fire departments to find the one saw that fits their needs." For the average home owner, they have the lightweight, easy to handle chain saws for occasional use like the MS 170, MS 180 C-B, MS210, MS 230 with easy2start technology, and the MS 250. Their mid range saws include the MS 270, MS 290 and MS 310 or 390. Want something with a touch more power, then try their professional series with the MS 260 PRO, MS 361, MS 440 Stihl Magnum or the MS 660 Stihl Magnum.
Chain Saw Parts - Repairs - Safety:The first thing to remember when handling chain saws is that accidents happen every year with these powerful tools and most can be avoided through safety precautions. Always use protective eye wear, keep your body away from the line of cut, wear safety footwear, snug clothing, and ear plugs to protect your hearing. No child should be using a chain saw ever, even with parent supervision, they are too dangerous and heavy for kids. If your chain saw breaks, make sure it gets fixed properly before using it again. That starts with buying the best parts at places like Husqvarna-chainsaw.com. They carry all the top name brands like Jonsered and Stihl. You can also try Cheapchainsawparts.com for great deals on Poulan, Homesite and McCulloch models. For repairs, try your local Stihl dealership or a Home Depot or Lowes.Chain Saw Art - Carving:Chain saw art and carvings are something you always see on the side of the road while driving through mountain areas or more rural spots. I've seen 15 foot tall bears and other extravagent carvings which are truly beautiful. For some collections online for easy viewing go to Artwooddesigns.com, chainsaw-art.com or Chainsawartist.com. Most of the larger pieces can run $3000-$10,000 and the smaller ones are $100-$500. The most popular items seem to be bears, indians, birds of prey, and horses.Where can I buy a good, reliable chain saw?If you know what you want, then you can go directly to the dealers for Stihl, Husqvarna or Poulan. Like most of us, though, you probably need to hear a saleperson give you the rundown on what each saw does best and which one would provide you with the best fit. Therefore starting at Home Depot or Lowes is a good idea. Many lawn and garden stores carry chain saws as well as equipment rental spots since many people only need the chain saw for a few hours to trim trees or saw through large logs. A rental can be a great idea if it's a one time thing. Buying a chain saw will give you a powerful piece of machine that comes in handy at times. Also consider electric versus gas and which makes more sense. Size is important as well, pick up the chain saw at the store and handle it a bit to make sure it's not too heavy because once it's started the vibrations and weight will really test your strength.
