Chainsaw Bar & Chain Manufacturers

Most chainsaw operators know that chains wear down and eventually need replacing but many homeowners aren’t aware that the chainsaw bar also needs to be replaced. When you’re unable to cut straight, it’s likely time to replace your bar.

Tip: Flip your bar every time you change your chain to dramatically increase its lifespan.

Chainsaw Dealer Locator

Large manufacturers typically have a ‘dealer locator’ section on their website so you can quickly and easily find out where to buy their products locally. I’ve listed all the manufacturers that provide this service to consumers. Unfortunately, not all companies provide this, but most do.

Chainsaw Manuals

As you know, it’s easy to misplace, lose or have your pet inadvertently destroy your manuals. Life is complicated and who has the foresight to put all their manuals in one place just in case you need to refer to it again. Well, thankfully, the digital age allows us to access every manual ever created.

Without further delay, here’s are the links to help you find your chainsaw manual:

A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD? Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?

This section is a work in progress. Stay tuned!

This section is comprehensive as it documents every single chainsaw currently being sold at the moment. I thought it might be useful for people who wanted to quickly do research on chainsaws. Hopefully you find value in this list as it was quite time consuming, but I’m happy to do it if it helps you find the information you need quicker than if you had to peruse every chainsaw manufacturers website individually.

These links will take you directly to the manufacturers page for the specific model you select.
