Quiet chainsaw recomendations.

[One Buck]

They aren't silent but the battery Stihl is a lot quieter than a 2-stroke. A friend of mine bought one for firewood etc. in his own city centre garden and it doesn't annoy the neighbours. The sound is at a different pitch and doesn't seem to travel.

Thanks.

 

That is what I was hoping for. Guessing the same principles apply to the 'cabled' electric saws which quite a bit cheaper?

A friend of mine uses a Screwfix 2000w Titan saw for firewood and it's not silent but it's nowhere near the noise of a petrol saw. Biggest noise is the chain going round the bar. Well worth the £50 it cost him

Hydraulic chainsaw is about as quiet as it gets but power source e.g tractor may not be.

If all else fails a bowsaw is quiet:thumbup:

I use a Stihl battery chainsaw for cutting firewood. I don't feel like I need to use hearing protection. It's not exactly quiet, but it certainly isn't loud.

How much do you intend to cut and the diameters and the species?

This is for home use .. my house is log powered - I do about 20 x 1m3 per year (stacked) .. it is mostly oversize, 'arb waste' .. About 80% hardwood, with ~20% softwood.

Get a rear handled battery saw.

Would not both with a Titan chainsaw last time I was in screwfix the person at customer services had returned one and he said it was the third time he had returned one:thumbdown:

 

That's fair comment but I've had a few Titan tools from screwfix that have lasted well and on the whole I'd have to say that even although they're competitively priced they're not complete crap.

There's also do bosch, oregon makita and others if you don't like the Titan, cheers.

My Titan electric saw is still going strong - I've had my £50 quids worth out of it many times over.
