Kent Peardon has spent the last 15 years of his career as a carpenter braving the ever-changing weather conditions in Central Florida that challenge all forms of woodworking.

The Oregon saw uses a special 91PS “PowerSharp” chain which works with the saw’s built-in semi-automatic sharpener. Pulling a lever atop the saw pushes a curved sharpening stone against the special chain for easy sharpening on the fly. The aggressive, hooked teeth of the PowerSharp chain can be too brutal in some woods, so standard Oregon 91 chain can be substituted—just don’t try to use the sharpener with it.

Bottle cages can also be used to fit a ‘tool keg or caddy’. This is essentially a water bottle with a wider circumference opening at the top to allow you to insert tools. Some, such as this one made by Fabric comes with an inner neoprene liner to prevent tools from rattling annoyingly on the plastic whilst riding. These are great if you are either not bothered about carrying a water bottle or if you have more than one set of bottle bosses.

There was a significant gap between the top half of our saws and the bottom half, making a clear delineation matching the performance tests. What also stands out is that the best battery-powered chainsaw also held a clear advantage over number two through four, making its claim pretty legitimate.

So without further ado, here are the best battery-powered chainsaw shootout final rankings in order from lower rated to top rated:

Compensating: In this configuration, when you manually shift the front derailleur, the unit will automatically compensate by shifting one or two additional cogs in the back, depending on how you have it configured. The idea here is to ‘soften’ the blow between big and small ring shifts up front.

Smith hinged the engine cover, added a functional trunk opening, and completely reconfigured the suspension to work properly with a 1-1/2" lowered ride height. Smith explains, "I moved the suspension around to make it steer better, moved rack down seven inches, made a new steering arm for the uprights, and added an anti-roll bar."

It’s a deep-sider. “This is the deepest body side we’ve ever generated,” Woodhouse said of the Corsair’s sensuously S-curved sheetmetal stampings.

The Greenworks Pro 60V Chainsaw failed to get any momentum out of the starting gate. It scored poorly in each of the performance tests, and its ergonomics and feature set didn’t compare as well to the others.
