Spring is the time to get back into your yard and clear out whatever mess winter left you. It’s also the time to get ready for nights on the patio and afternoons admiring the garden. A powerhouse tool for clearing trees, cutting back hedges, and cutting up logs for a summer bonfire is a trusty chainsaw.

We’ve covered both electric and gas-powered chainsaws in the past, with both having their place in the garage when caring for your lawn. Electric chainsaws can come just as powerful as a gas version and are safer since they don’t stay on and idle after you start them. Still, long jobs where you’re clearing a lot of big, hardwood logs are easier if you have the power and longevity of a gas chainsaw.

We rounded up deals on chainsaws we’ve tested and gathered others that had promising specs so you can save money and get your lawn in pristine shape for the upcoming seasons. Read on for the best chainsaw sales on the market this April from trusted brands like Greenworks, Husqvarna, Makita, and more, and get big savings (up to 40 percent!) from our picks below.

A Capable Workhorse

Husqvarna 120 Gas Powered Chainsaw

This gas chainsaw has 38 cc (cubic capacity) power and a 16-inch bar for the right combination of power and size. It can fell small trees and cut back limbs while still being maneuverable enough for some precision pruning. It has a built-in dampener to soften vibrations and an inertia-activated chain brake, reducing the risk of injury caused by too much kickback.

Its auto-lubrication system has a clear window so you know exactly when you need more chain oil. It has a decent battery life but you can pick up an extra pack if tackling a long job.
