The Pro Saw List ... Used Pro Saws vs. New Cheap Junk Saws
Stop wasting money on "disposable" chainsaws. In this video, Nate breaks down why your local big box store’s budget model is a bad investment and why every landowner needs a professional quality chainsaw. After struggling with two budget-friendly saws that failed when work needed to get done, Nate discovered the secret: a used pro-level chainsaw offers better power-to-weight ratios, superior build quality, and lifetime reliability for the same price as a new "toy" saw. Whether you are clearing land, cutting firewood, or maintaining a homestead, this guide serves as a permanent reference for the best chainsaws ever made. We provide a curated list of legendary workhorse models to look for on the used market—real tools designed to be repaired, not replaced. You attain that piece of land you have always wanted, now you need to cut wood. You have a regular need for a reliable chainsaw. What is your approach? Do you trot down to the local Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, or Menard's to by a budget model or mid-grade saw? Do you buy new or do you buy used? I argue that every chainsaw user should buy a professional quality chainsaw, regardless of how often they use one. Pro saws are better and there are many reasons why. Nate tells the story of his purchase of two budget-friendly saws which were not so friendly to use and were not so friendly when they failed to run and failed to operate. Then Nate found a pro level older saw with excellent quality and features. This sold him on the merits of high quality chainsaws. Nate offers a list of quality chainsaw models which have proven themselves as reliable workhorse saws. It is guaranteed if one purchases a saw listed in this list of quality saws, he or she will be happier than if he buys at a local big box store and buys a low-quality budget model brand new saw for the same price. For the price of a new budget toy saw of today, which isn't manufactured well, he can purchase a professional grade tool if he knows what to look for on the used market. This list is intended to help a beginner find a good used quality saw by searching local used listings to find that diamond in the rough. This is a list of the best chainsaws ever made. This video is to become a reference for those looking for a quality tool to use the rest of their life, not a throw-away disposable product.
