Best Cordless Heavy Duty Chainsaw.

[JBASport]

I am looking to replace my petrol chainsaw with a cordless equivalent (also looking to the same for extended reach hedgetrimmer). Any guidance would be most helpful. Thanks Terry

In electric, I've used both Stihl MSA 300 and Husqvarna 540i - both excellent for small short jobs.

 

But be under no allusions, some manufacturers say their electric chainsaws have the same power as a 50cc saw, but personally in my experience they feel more like a 35 cc petrol chainsaw. Who knows why, you'd have to examine the test parameters - chain width etc..  But (again subjectively) my petrol MS 261 feels way more powerful/faster/lasts longer that either.
