Which chainsaws are popular with Russians and recommended by experts? Swedish brands Husqvarna (Sweden), Stihl (Germany) have taken a strong position not only in private farms, but also in industry. Japanese Echo and the Swedish Partner eagerly bought up, distinguished themselves in the price-reliability-quality ratio. Today, low prices are attractive in virtual storefronts. But it is easier to make a mistake here: losing money, time and mental balance. Our review will help in choosing an online store.
What were we guided by in the ranking
- The proximity of sales offices to the buyer. Why is it important? Many stores offer a test start for a chainsaw recommended by specialists and including the unit re-activation, oil lubrication, adjustment, filling the tank with gasoline and starting the tool. Having ordered the delivery of goods by the transport company, we will lose this opportunity. The proximity of the points of sale of the instrument is important if it is necessary to carry out a warranty repair or replacement of the device (according to the RF Law on Consumer Protection).
- Cost
- Quality assurance. The store must have a certificate certifying that it is a dealer or subdealer of the manufacturer of the gasoline-powered tool. This will give confidence that the chainsaw is a branded product. The seller’s website requires information about the warranty period of the device.
- Dissatisfied customer reviews. Most often this is a claim for the delivery of the instrument, its safety during transportation and allegations of selling fakes.
- Ease of selection and ordering on the pages of the portal. Proposals for consumables necessary for the operation of chainsaws.
- The opportunity to get advice on the choice and design of the tool.
Models of the most popular brands of chainsaws are listed in the table for comparing prices and ranking stores. Seven stores attracted our attention, from which we will choose five.

3rd place
Wikimart
Site: www.wikimart.ru
Large "all-Russian" hypermarket of goods. In terms of price and service, it is a solid second place, but it deserves only the third one: the picture was spoiled by a large number of negative customer reviews. Registration today promises a discount of 500 p. All forms of payment, there is Viki.krelek, where a part of the amount is returned upon purchase, it can be spent on the next purchase. There is a search by price, manufacturer, specifications (detailed on all parameters). Next to EVERY tool delivery is stipulated: terms, method of receipt. They promise a manufacturer's warranty. The certificate is not presented anywhere. Let's hope that will show when you buy. The site provides discounts and personal discounts (as many as 3 sections).

5th place
"Instruklub"
Site: www.instrumentclub.ru
Online store with a fairly large assortment of chainsaws (63 models) and low prices (compared to large Internet portals). The certificate for the tool brand Stihl was valid until the end of 2012. No current information. There is a document that the online store has been trained and is a subdealer for Husqvarna and PARTNER products, dated 2011. There is a callback for the order and advice.

Minuses
- Irrelevant information on existing certificates.
- Extra charge of 6% to the price for “non-cash”.
- Goods ONLY for Moscow and the region.
Reviews
The percentage of customer dissatisfaction is 6% of the total number of reviews. Main claims:
Sometimes they supply open tool boxes, re-grading in them
Charges for the sale of a non-existent product (the tool is declared on the pages, it was not available)
In addition, it is worth adding: there are stores that specialize in a particular brand of gas powered tools. Such portals as a place of purchase are more profitable than most major Russian markets..
Board
If you have already chosen the brand of gasoline-powered tools and want to make a purchase, ask for a certificate certifying that the store is a dealer of the manufacturer. But this is not enough: unfortunately, the documents are also fake. Therefore, having decided on the brand of the chainsaw, find information on how to distinguish it from counterfeit products: this will protect you from buying the “left” tool.
Additionally
Comparative table of prices for chainsaws, in 6 popular positions. Highlighted minimum prices. The purchase price is always the sum of the cost of the chainsaw, consumables, delivery, testing. Discounts and bonuses must be deducted from this amount. The result and the need to evaluate, choosing a tool in the online store.
