Oregon CS250 40V MAX chain saw The Oregon CS250 40V MAX chain saw is designed with all the battery muscle needed by commercial landscapers, professional arborists, or hardworking homeowners to get the job done. It runs cleaner and quieter and is free from the hassles of gasoline or cords. Operators may simply pull the trigger for an instant start and long run time. They can charge the Oregon PowerNow Battery Pack and always be ready to go with lithium-ion, no-fade power. Oregon's PowerSharp precision saw chain sharpening system is built right into the saw, so operators will never need to cut with a dull chain again. PowerSharp allows operators to sharpen on the saw, on the job, in seconds. RedMax G5300 chain saw The new RedMax G5300 is a professional, high-speed, limbing saw. The G5300 includes the MaxLogic ignition system, which provides quick and easy starts with lightning acceleration. It is powered by a 52.93-cc displacement/3.3-hp. engine. The G5300 is available with a 16-, 18- or 20-inch bar. SherrillTree now carries Husqvarna chain saws SherrillTree, a leading provider of tree gear, now carries Husqvarna, one of the top brands of chain saws. With the Husqvarna chain saw product line, SherrillTree now offers a broad selection of 20 chain saw models and a wide variety of bars and chains featured in SherrillTree's retooled bar and chain selector. Both companies are known innovators in the tree care industry and many of the chain saws that SherrillTree carries contain Husqvarna's X-Torq engine technology that provides more power with 20 percent less fuel consumption and 60 percent less exhaust emissions. Stihl MS 261 C-M The mid-size 50.5-cc MS 261 C-M professional chain saw boasts Stihl M-Tronic technology: an innovative microprocessor-controlled engine management system that optimizes engine performance and compensates for changes in operating conditions, such as temperature, elevation, fuel quality, and dirty air filter. Electronic ignition timing and fuel metering provide quick acceleration, even on a cold start. The reduced exhaust emissions engine reduces fuel consumption, saving on fuel costs, and the advanced anti-vibration system reduces operator fatigue. The pre-separation air filtration and HD-2 filter allow for greater efficiency and longer run times between filter maintenance. Tanaka's TCS33EDTP chain saw Tanaka's TCS33EDTP 32.2-cc, top-handle chain saw is ideal for crown pruning, branch removal, and hobby work. Engineered for arborists, this saw has an optimized power-toweight ratio to speed up work while minimizing fatigue, and it is equipped with a built-in lanyard ring for easy access while climbing. The TCS33EDTP is driven by Tanaka's PureFire low-emission 2-stroke engine and comes standard with a sprocket-nose bar and Oregon chain (available in 12 or 14 inches) to provide powerful, fuel-efficient cuts. This saw is backed by Tanaka's 7-year consumer, 2-year commercial warranty. Worx cordless JawSaw Worx introduced a cordless version of the popular JawSaw.
