WORX WG303.1 16-Inch 14.5 Amp Electric Chainsaw
This electric chainsaw is the perfect power tool for a homeowner looking for something to use mainly on medium-sized and smaller projects. However, they still have the option of taking on larger jobs should they arise. Electric models are known for being less powerful than their gas counterparts. So if you’re hoping to fell a 100-acre forest, this may not be the one for you. But if you have a lot of limbing and trimming to do and want to tackle the odd fallen tree after a storm, the WG303.1 is the best electric chainsaw for you.
Featuring a 3.5 HP 14.5 amp engine, a 16″ guide bar, and a chain speed of 12 meters per second, this electric model has the power and feel of a burlier gas chainsaw. Don’t let that power fool you, though. It’s still a breeze to use, operate, and maintain. You can install and tighten backup chains quickly with the tool-free, stress-free setup, while the WG303.1’s side-mounted chain tensioner system means you’re not at risk of over-tightening the chain. The automatic chain oiler also keeps the saw lubricated, so you don’t have to spend time working with messy oils.
Marry these features with the general ease of using electric chainsaws over gas chainsaws – simple startup, no need to cool down and refuel, less mess, etc. – and you have the perfect tool for the amateur arborist. Plus, this electric model comes with extra safety features. These include an automatic kickback prevention brake, activated when using an improper angle to cut. The ergonomic design will go a long way to helping you cut comfortably.
