Pick Your Chainsaw by Bar Length
Bar length is the single most useful spec when choosing a chainsaw. It sets the maximum log diameter you can cut comfortably (a chainsaw cuts wood up to roughly twice its bar length by working from both sides). The Wild Badger cordless lineup covers two bar lengths for two different jobs.
20V 12-inch Cordless Chainsaw (Pruning & Limbing)
The 20V 12-inch cordless brushless chainsaw is the lightweight pick for pruning, limbing, and light cleanup. The shorter 12-inch bar keeps the tool light and easy to control overhead or one-handed-adjacent work, and the brushless motor holds torque on branches up to about 8 inches thick. It ships with a 4.0 Ah battery and charger. Best fit: suburban homeowners trimming trees, clearing fallen branches, and cutting small firewood.
40V 16-inch Cordless Chainsaw (Firewood & Storm Cleanup)
The 40V 16-inch cordless brushless chainsaw steps up to a longer bar and a higher-voltage motor. A 7500 RPM brushless motor and a 16-inch bar handle firewood-grade hardwood, storm cleanup, and bucking logs up to roughly 30 inches in diameter by cutting from both sides. The 4.0 Ah battery delivers enough runtime for a typical weekend firewood session. Best fit: rural homeowners, cabin owners, and anyone cutting their own firewood.
Chainsaw Chains, Bars & Accessories
A chainsaw is only as good as its chain and bar. Wild Badger stocks replacement chains and bars in every size the cordless chainsaws use, so your saw stays on the property for years rather than seasons.
Replacement Chainsaw Chains (8, 10, 12, 16 inch)
The chainsaw chain collection carries replacement chains in 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch lengths. A worn or dull chain is the most common reason a chainsaw feels underpowered, so keeping a spare matched to your bar length is the single cheapest way to keep cutting clean. Match the chain length to your saw: the 20V model uses a 12-inch chain, the 40V model uses a 16-inch chain.
Replacement Bars
If the bar itself wears, bends, or the rails spread, Wild Badger stocks replacement bars in 8, 10, 12, and 16-inch lengths through the chainsaw accessories collection. Replacing the bar at the same time as the chain restores the saw to like-new cutting performance.
Chain Compatibility & Maintenance
Always match the chain to both the bar length and the saw model. Every Wild Badger chainsaw includes automatic bar-and-chain lubrication and tool-free chain tensioning, which are the two features that keep the chain running cool and cutting straight.
