BLACK+DECKER 400 V Scorpion Electric Saw with 3 Blades and 10mm Stroke Length, KS890ECN-GB

Product Information

So before I get going I need to show you the difference in power between these two chainsaws. Cutting into a decent bit of treated and dry timber you can clearly see the power difference but a little bit later on in the video just how good the Cobra is for logging and how someone who has never used a chainsaw before got to grips with it easily: The Makita DUC355Z cuts an 11 inch log easily and to be unbiased I measure the shortest point -the other way is 12 inches

I decided to test the Cobra cordless chainsaw to the limit and cut the trunk lengthways. It struggled, but it did it and logging the entire tree was just two full charges of the battery (withstanding the Makita was used to fell the tree). We used the Cobra cordless chainsaw to rip a trunk down lengthways and it really held up well – the Makita wasn’t much better at this believe it or not Alternative large cut cordless chainsaw: Greenworks Cordless Chainsaw GD40CS40 (Li-Ion 40 V 11 m/s Chain Speed 40 cm Sword Length Best value cordless chainsaw: WORX WG322E.9 18V (20V MAX) 25cm Cordless Compact Chainsaw or The Cobra cordless chainsaw [Personally tested and proven] Cordless tools are quieter, provide the power homeowners need for most mid weight jobs, and remove the need for dangerous power cables everywhere. I would predict in the next ten years cordless will have completely taken over as the prices will continue to drop on mass usage. Cordless chainsaw safety first – boots, trousers, and a sharp chainsawThe Greenworks Cordless Chainsaw GD40CS40 has a nice all around performance. The batteries are pretty cheap, it’s a big 16 inch bar with a 3/8 inch pit that will cut decent sized logs. There’s no complaints on the cut power but I wouldn’t put a 2 amp battery on this, it won’t last ten minutes! So make sure if you’re going to buy this model invest in a 4 amp battery to give a longer lasting cut and gives off similar vibes to the Makita DUC405Z

Power delivery is superb. You’ll be very surprised by just how powerful this thing sounds and feels. Which makes it even more surprising just how many logs you’ll cut on one battery. It’s hard to give a perfect estimate but I would say at least 50 cuts before you run out of power which is very good and easily inline with Makita. You can definitely buy this with confidence, it is one of the best cordless tools Makita have ever produced.Don’t forget safety equipment and user manuals, at a minimum make sure you have a good nose through the do’s and do not’s of the chainsaw you buy. You’l be surprised just how much time you save setting up as well. I remember my first cordless chainsaw arrives and I put the chain on the wrong way around. An easy mistake to make when it’s your first chainsaw and don’t know the ropes! So I am always taking heavy criticism for being a Makita fanboy. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, they simply produce heavy duty quality cordless equipment at very affordable prices.

Dewalt correctly appreciate (just like Makita) there is a limit to the amount of power you can deliver to a cordless chainsaw and therefore a really long bar makes little sense. Makita have the Makita DUC405Z which is fine and about the limit of what you want to cut. They manage this by making a much thinner and sharper blade for these cordless models and so allows you a bit of wiggle room and ability to compete with petrol chainsaws 🙂 Since recently making this article I just had to update it to include this super mini cordless chainsaw. The Bosch Home and Garden Cordless Chainsaw has just a 20cm bar so only able to cut up to 6 inch logs. However, if you’re looking for lightweight and easy to use, especially for an alternative to a pruning saw, this might well be your top choice! It certainly is mine for the mini chainsaw category!

Cordless chainsaws are a minefield and extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. You can get a bar length typically from 30-40cm and the voltage tends to range from 18V to 36V. The more powerful versions are 36V and generally carry the longer bar. The sweet spot seems to be around 35cm as they generally have the same power output at the 40cm with a smaller chain.
