Outdoor Power Equipment

Electric - A corded power washer requires no gas and is good for cars, decks, and lightly stained driveways. -
Gas - This equipment is a good choice for commercial properties as well as larger jobs. They tend to be more powerful and efficient than electric models. -
Battery - The mobility of a battery-operated unit allows you to use the instrument for quick jobs such as boats or RVs.

Consider your project - Consider how thick the tree is as well as how much you need to cut. You'll want a short bar for smaller projects. -
Available space - Do you have a small amount of room to work in? You'll want a short bar and a non-electric source in order to maximize use of space. -
Length of time - If your project is short, you may be able to use a battery-powered unit with a short bar. If there are several trees, you'll want a non-battery device and a longer bar for efficiency.
