Makita UC4051A vs Poulan Pro 967061501

This 16" chainsaw is powerful enough to deal with the regular medium-duty domestic jobs. It is perfectly suitable for trimming bushes, cutting small to medium-sized trees or preparing firewood.

Compared to gas engines, this chainsaw's electric motor requires way less maintenance. You don't need to check sensitive mechanical parts, such as air filters, spark plugs, or pull start rope. You also don’t need to prepare it for long periods of not being used.

With this tool, you can work indoors without having to worry about the ventilation as this chainsaw doesn’t emit any smoke or fumes that can harm your health.

You do not need any tools to adjust the chain.

This chainsaw is built from metal and high-quality plastics. The build quality is reasonable for non-professional applications.

Apart from regular domestic tasks, such as firewood cutting, pruning, and trimming, this chainsaw can also deal with more substantial jobs, like medium diameter (3 ft) tree cutting.

For just under $200, you’ll get a reliable medium-duty chainsaw with all the essential features you might need and even a few extras, like an anti-vibration handle.

Due to its powerful 50cc engine, this tool is capable of performing cuts up to 40 inches in diameter.

The starter system is spring-assisted, which reduces the amount of force usually required to start a chainsaw (especially if the tool is cold).
