CUTTING A FALLEN TREE | Chainsaw vs Reciprocating Saw

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE | Chainsaw vs Reciprocating Saw
In this video, Renos will be cutting a fallen tree with a chainsaw and a reciprocating saw.
He's got a 75-foot tall pine tree to cut up before the sun goes down.
He starts of with the Milwaukee Fuel Reciprocating saw to see how for it will go, and then he switches over the Husquavarna chainsaw to finish the job.

Thanks i was goin to run out and buy a chainsaw until I saw this....I’ll give my Makita sawzall a shot of a downed tree in my yard....

[@MrDanthemaniam]

Use a top rated carbide toothed blade. Cuts way faster, stays sharp even in the dirt. I'd like to se a comparison of that to an electric chainsaw.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

on thicker branches it can help to cut out a v-notch which can quickly take away lots of the thickness, then cut down into the notch to finish the cut. good video.

Nice Video...post MORE VIDEOS of Cutting Down trees..still learning on how To Use a Chainsaw

[@skyandsparkleanddiscoandve1992]

In my opinion , the chainsaw is the best.

[@MatthewZ555]

A 12 inch pruning blade would have performed better than a 6 inch blade. Interesting video!

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Agreed. It's what I had available on this day. I've got a few other videos using the longer blades as well. Cheers!

[@stevennihipali3607]

I was gonna say the same thing... but the blade control is better on the 6.

[@stu6945]

Thanks for the video. Can you advise what blades you used on the reciprocating saw, and whether you would use the same for cutting a live tree down rather than one already felled?

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

I used a demolition blade in this video because its what I had available that day. However, I have also used pruning blades that are specifically designed for cutting wood. I would go for the pruning blade, and I dont think i the blade selection will make much difference whether the tree is dead or alive. Cheers!

Chainsaw is definitely faster. Sawzall is more quite and definitely more versatile

[@chilui2780]

I was thinking if a recipro saw for my little tree in the back yard. After i watched this, I think buying a small chainsaw is a better idea. Thanks for sharing your idea.

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

The reciprocating saw is infinitely less dangerous than the chainsaw and reciprocating saw doesn't require any maintenance. With that said, if you are set on using a chainsaw, you could also just rent one for a few hours and be done with it. Good luck!

[@brendon8702]

dont buy a chainsaw for one tree. recip saw is more versatile, Noob.

[@stevennihipali3607]

You can always check out the new milwaukee pruning saw or the larger hacksaw like th m in this video. Battery is a huge consideration

[@JasonLourenco]

@@brendon8702 why call him a noob. drop that off and the comment is of value. instead you had to try and prop yourself up by insulting someone... douche... lol

The reciprocating saw tree looked rotten.

[@ernestwalden3894]

What's up with the tunes? Makes me want to eat a bullet LOL. Liked the video tho. I need something to cut firewood and trying to decide if I want to get a $500 sawzall or $200 chainsaw or a $300 batter chainsaw LOL

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

If you are cutting small pieces into smaller pieces, the reciprocating saw is much safer and less involved to use and maintain. If you are cutting up logs, the chainsaw is going to be much faster. I'd opt for the higher-priced chainsaw over the less expensive one if you are going to go with a chainsaw.

[@chrisescue6555]

Definitely doing all my tree work with a battery recip from this point on. Lol

[@brandonlee3875]

I'm needing a chainsaw or reciprocating saw for occasional climbing or cutting limbs off of a roof or something like that were a big chainsaw is too heavy but I don't really know what to buy yet I don't need a climbing saw that much but some jobs people want me to climb and all I have is a regular small chainsaw and that's still a hassle for me and a climbing saw is very expensive LOL so I'm thinking about getting the best thing for the money

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

A reciprocating saw can be a versatile tool and can cut limbs. Depending on the types of projects you take on, the reciprocating saw may be the best option based on the tool's versatility and ability to do many different types of projects.

[@john-wq8kf]

Bit of a no go as the fallen branch / trunk is dry rotten if it had been fresh fallen the sabre saw would have struggled

[@MB12116]

What size saw?

[@alyssah4018]

Post more videos of shop vacs please

[@alyssah4018]

Great video

[@PaulRudd1941]

I'll say this is a bit of an irresponable comment, but I'm going to post it regardless so here goes; I'm a bit of a lumberack per se on the weekend and and HVACR on the week days in Canada. But whenever I find myself invited to a pallet fire with a couple of friends I leave the chainsaw at home. First off, I'm not going to bring my cut-pants, hard hat and vis-gard to the camp fire. Not only is a chainsaw dangerous but after a few brews it can become extremely deadly, especially if left in the hands of a user who is not well versed in the safe operation of such a machine. Otherwise if you know what you're doing, have the proper safety gear with the "just in case" first aid equipement and the knowledge to use said equipement, then bring the buzzer, slice up some trees', make a quick buck on the weekend, and go home to your kids on Sunday. Most importantly however, keep that bloody chain gaurd on, its there to SAVE your LIFE. Cheers Pro's and Joe's for keeping the working class safe!

Battery vs gas engine - stupid comparison.
