In fact, their motorcycles were among the most popular in the world. That engineering quality is apparent in their 24-inch Rancher chainsaw, with its X-Torq, 2-cycle, 60cc engine. Its integrated air injection system keeps larger sawdust particles from clogging the air filter, while the LowVib system reduces vibration across the length of the carrying handle. They&#8217;ve even integrated a new SmartStart technology that combines the choke and starter into one unit that helps prevent engine flooding and makes the chainsaw easier to start than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The quick-release air filter is reusable<\/li>\n<li>The side-mounted chain tension system<\/li>\n<li>Available with blade oil kits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Priced like a professional chainsaw<\/li>\n<li>The owner&#8217;s manual is sadly lacking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sorry if this is a silly question, but is there an actual chain on a chainsaw?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aww, don&#8217;t apologize. We&#8217;ve all been there. The answer is yes. The chain is that loop that has the cutting teeth on it. It is wrapped around the cutting bar, the oblong part of the chainsaw that sticks out of the motor. The cutting bar is what&#8217;s measured when we talk about chainsaw sizes (which range from typically 8&#8243; to 24&#8243; or more). The chain should last for about 500 hours of use, which for most people is about five years. You can sharpen the chain pretty easily with an inexpensive home sharpener, but if a tooth breaks off or the chain isn&#8217;t pulling as efficiently, it&#8217;s time to get a new chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are cordless chainsaws as powerful as gas models?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, no. If you&#8217;re getting all Paul Bunyan up in here and mowing down forests, there&#8217;s no substitute for the power of a gas chainsaw. Cordless chainsaws, however, are lighter and easier to handle than gas-powered models. They are also much quieter, which makes them better for home use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I watched &#8220;The Texas Chainsaw Massacre&#8221; about eight times. How do I prevent myself from having a similar untimely end?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wear layers of clothes. The truth is, chainsaws are really an inefficient tool for nefarious purposes. Chainsaws are designed to cut through rigid, dense materials, like the wood of a tree trunk. In fact, even hardwood sometimes requires that you start a channel first before continuing your cut with the chainsaw. The teeth on the chain actually get clogged and jammed by soft material, like skin, or better yet, clothes. Thick but pliable material like cotton typically causes the chainsaw to either jam or in some cases, be pulled from your hands entirely. So in short: wear a hoodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black &amp; Decker MAX 20V 10-Inch Cordless Chainsaw It only makes sense that Black &amp; Decker, one of the premier names in power tools for a hundred years, would make one of the most durable and powerful chainsaws on the market.
