By Dean Caporella

Buying used chainsaws can be a daunting task if you are a novice with very little experience in the chainsaw market.

In this article, we'll give you some handy tips of where to search for the best buys or at least give you some ideas of where look. Buying used over new is not something we normally preach particularly when it comes to chainsaws however, if you are only using the machine sparingly or have a tight budget then used may be the best option.

Beware The Chance Of Inheriting Problems

Inheriting problems is a major drawback when purchasing second hand items. With chainsaws, this can be a real problem particularly if you have little knowledge of how much stress a machine can endure during it's lifetime.

Chainsaws perform rugged jobs and if a machine is not serviced regularly, then it can display some bad symptoms and if these are not rectified and you purchase, you'll not only inherit something which will give you poor service but could also present some safety issues.

Shopping For Used Chainsaws

Here's a list of places you can search for used chainsaws:

- Go to your local dealer. This is the best place to start and by letting them know you have a tight budget and are in the market for a used chainsaw you'll find more often than not, you may not have to look any further.

- Local yard and garage sales can be a good place to look. Always get a demo of the machine if you find one.

- Heading to forums catering to power tool users is another great place to look. These forums are used by members in all sorts of professions pertaining to power tools and chainsaw users will be there in large numbers. You may not find the machine within the forum but the value here is the referrals you'll get.

- Online site auctions are another alternative. Auctions conducted on eBay or elsewhere can present some good opportunities. Reconditioned machines can be bought at very attractive prices.

Buying Used Chainsaws

By Jerry Smith

Is it worth buying a used chainsaw? That depends! You need to understand a few points about buying used chainsaws. First heed the old “buyer beware” warning. Generally there is no return of a used chainsaw. So be cautious, if you go to a yard sale and the seller can’t or won’t show you that the saw works, at least that it runs, don’t even consider buying it, unless you just want it for parts.

If you are looking for a used chainsaw we will give you some ideas of where to look. Try the classified section of your newspaper, message boards at supermarkets and other retail outlets. Got to yard, farm and estate sales, these venues often publish a list of items being offered.

Use word of mouth, let your relatives and friends know you are in the market for a used chainsaw. One of them may know of a neighbor, friend or relative who is looking to sell a chainsaw.

Type “used chainsaws” into your search engine. You should get dozens of hits. Make sure you check the shipping charges. Auctions, both live and online, are another option for you. The one drawback here is there is usually an “as is” policy at most of these sites. However your online search should yield a few factory reconditioned chainsaws and these can often be had for about half of the original price, even with shipping charges that should save you some money.

If you shop carefully and check out any prospective chainsaw it is possible to get a good deal and save some money, you just need to be aware of what you are getting.
