Blue Max is one of the many power tool brands that are owned by the North American Tool Industries (NATI). With more than 50 years of experience in doing this, you can rest assured that their products are of the highest quality. As well as performing well, Blue Max chainsaws are also very affordable and so are suitable for not only professionals but for regular homeowners and those individuals who will be only occasionally using them. For these reasons, the chainsaws are competing with the very biggest of names in the industry.

Some of their best chainsaws include the Blue Max 8901 2-in-1 14-Inch/20-Inch Combination Chainsaw, the Blue Max 6595 18-Inch 45cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered Chain Saw, and the Blue Max 8902 Gas-Powered Chain Saw. What is good about all of these is that they are easy to handle, easy to start, and come with a good level of warranty. This means that should you ever experience any issues with them, you are completely covered and can have the chainsaw fixed.

When it comes to the ultimate chainsaw, nothing beats gas-powered ones, which is why we chose these particular models. Whilst electric ones are suitable for some individuals, particularly those who have trouble starting a gas-powered chainsaw or those who do not like breathing in the fumes that they produce, they do not offer the same level of power or torque that gas-powered ones do. For this reason, they are often shunned by professional arborists who often need to fell large trees.

Out of the models that we mentioned above, our favorite out of these is the Blue Max 8901 2-in-1 14-Inch/20-Inch Combination Chainsaw. This is because it is a very heavy duty power tool that can be used commercially by professionals for a variety of arborist type jobs. Despite it being quite small in size and having a compact design, it comes packed full of power. This is thanks to the 45 cc engine that it has. The bar length can be extended from 14 inches up to 20 inches depending on the size of the job that you are working on.

In order to keep you safe whilst using it, the chainsaw features a number of different safety elements. These are particularly useful for those individuals who have never used a chainsaw with so much power before. One of these is an anti-kickback mechanism. As well as being safe, the 8901 model is also really comfortable and easy to use thanks to its ergonomic design. It should, therefore, never slip out of your hand or leave you fatigued after a day of using it.
