Chainsaws for sale

Buying used chainsaws

This category covers rear-handle and top-handle chainsaws for felling, cross-cutting and tree work, in petrol and battery versions. Bar lengths range from short top-handle saws to long bars for large timber.

Check that the saw starts and idles cleanly, that the chain brake and throttle lock work, and that the chain stops at idle. Look at the bar, chain and sprocket for wear, and check the anti-vibration mounts. On battery saws, ask about battery age and whether batteries and chargers are included.

Common makes include Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo and Makita. Filter by year to narrow the list, and contact the dealer directly with any questions.
