Fall is a good time to get caught up on tree maintenance, especially before winter storms start bringing down branches. Whether you’re trimming trees around the property, cutting up fallen limbs, or getting a head start on this year’s firewood, having a chainsaw around can save a lot of time. Gas-powered models are especially useful on larger properties where electrical outlets aren’t always nearby, and you don’t have to worry about running out of battery power halfway through a job like with a cordless chainsaw. Just bring some extra fuel, and you can always keep working.
With this deal we found at Walmart, you can get the KingFurt 18-Inch Gas Chainsaw on sale for only $81. That’s $59 off a gas-powered chainsaw with a 58-cubic-centimeter two-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar. There’s enough cutting capacity here for clearing fallen branches, breaking down logs, and tackling other tree maintenance around the yard. At this price, it’s also a fairly inexpensive way to add a gas chainsaw to your outdoor equipment collection without spending several hundred dollars on a premium model.
Popular PickOne thing to know before buying is that this chainsaw runs on a gasoline and two-stroke oil mixture, with the manufacturer recommending a 25:1 ratio. You’ll also need to keep the chain properly tensioned and sharpened, along with periodically cleaning or replacing the air filter. The handle is designed to help with control, while the quick-start feature is intended to make firing up the engine easier.
It could be a useful addition to your fall cleanup routine, particularly if you’ve got several trees on the property. Just remember that an 18-inch gas chainsaw is serious equipment. Proper protective gear and safe cutting techniques are essential, and large trees or storm-damaged limbs under tension are best left to professionals.
One buyer said, “It’s easy to assemble, and since it’s cordless, it eliminates the hassle of a power saw cord. It’s incredibly powerful when trimming branches, and it’s a breeze to use.”
“It literally ripped right through a solid oak tree,” said a second happy user. “I would recommend it to anyone.”
