With more torque and power than gas-powered chain saws, these battery-powered saws cut through thick, dense wood more quickly and quietly. Since they don’t use gasoline, these saws won’t emit harmful exhaust into the air. A brushless motor optimizes battery usage, so these saws run longer on a single charge. It also enhances longevity—they run cool and have few moving parts that require maintenance.

Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For saws where they’re not included, see DeWalt batteries and chargers and Milwaukee batteries and chargers.
