After the scarifier, a chainsaw is probably the most borrowed piece of gardening equipment, and rather than beg your neighbour for the loan of his, now is the perfect time to buy your own.
Top value: Mountfield chainsaw
It has a 38.3 cc engine and has a primer for the carburettor to help easy starting.
The guide bar is 40 cm long making it ideal for cutting firewood or trimming branches from trees.
The sprocket nose makes it easier for the chain to move around the end of the guide bar and prolong its working life.
There is a double acting chain brake which together with the front hand guard makes it safer to use – if there is a kick back and the hand guard hits the hand the chain stops.
A chain catcher is fitted as another safety feature in case the chain does come off the guide bar.
It weighs in at 4.5 kg giving excellent power to weight ratio and there is a wraparound rear handle for added comfort.
