Are cordless chainsaws powerful enough to replace a gas saw?

For homeowners, limbing, pruning, firewood and storm cleanup, the consensus across the reviewers we read is yes. High-trust testing publishers found that top 56V and 80V models cut as fast or faster than comparable small gas saws. Specialist communities are more cautious for heavy, all-day milling or bucking very large logs, where battery run-time and sustained torque become the limiting factors.
