I wasn’t sure what to expect with a battery-powered chainsaw, but I could tell upon pulling the Husqvarna Power Axe 350i Cordless Electric Chainsaw out of the box that this was a high-quality machine. While it may be one of the more expensive battery-powered chainsaws on the market, it’s also one of the most powerful.
In addition to a regular mode, I was able to power through thick trees that were less than 17 inches – and I did so quickly thanks to a boost mode button. The 40V battery offers a good amount of horsepower to handle almost all jobs, while various safety features kept me in one piece as I did my yard work. I wish the machine wasn’t as heavy, but at least it doesn’t vibrate much or sound too loud, both of which made for a better experience.
