Not all chainsaws are created equal. In fact, chainsaws can vary drastically depending on your unique needs. At Anchorage Suzuki/Arctic Cat, they are known for their vast inventory of these helpful devices, ensuring you always choose the right tool for the job at hand. 

Below, Alaska’s leading source for chainsaws has explained which type is best for a variety of situations.

3 Types Of Chainsaws & When To Use Them

1. Homeowner Use

Chainsaws meant for use around the house can vary in strength depending on your needs. If you need a machine for less-intensive projects, such as tree pruning or light cutting, a low-powered chainsaw will do the trick. Higher-powered models work perfectly for cutting firewood and jobs that require constant sawing. Before purchasing your chainsaw, talk to a professional about how you intend to use it so they can point you in the right direction. 

2. Commercial Series

A commercial chainsaw is meant for long-term daily use by a trained professional. Built with durability, flexibility, and heavy-duty jobs in mind, a commercial chainsaw is all about power and comfort. Commercial chainsaws tend to have a long, narrow shape to provide a more balanced feel. These models also come with commercial-use warranties valid for up to two years, depending on the manufacturer. 

3. Rancher Series

Husqvarna’s® Rancher series chainsaws are ideal for landowners or part-time users. Known for durability and comfort, a high-powered rancher chainsaw is very responsive and ideal for various cutting conditions.
