Homelite Chainsaws
Homelite chainsaws are the perfect chainsaw for the average homeowner, but the name Homelite was actually introduced because the company was an electricity company that was first setup in the early days of electricity, but today the name appropriately reflects the production of products for homeowners. Most of us have small, urban yards with few trees that need to be pruned once in a while. Maybe there was a storm and you have some tree limbs littering your yard and you need to remove them. Whatever your residential needs may be, there's a Homelite chainsaw that will do the job.
It wasn't until 1946 that the company created its first chainsaw, an electric chainsaw but it was in 1949 that the company really made an impact. It was then that Homelite built the very first one person chainsaw, an incredible innovation at that time. Prior to the Homelite one person chainsaw, they were large machines that required to people to operate and were not very portable. This was a turning point for the company and gave the company instant recognition for their achievement. Later on another milestone for the company would come in 1978 when they built and shipped over 1 million chainsaws.

With such a strong history in the chainsaw business it's no surprise that they build some great chainsaws. Today, for a company to be around for as long as Homelite has been, it's imperative that they build quality products and that's exactly what they do.
Unfortunately even when a company builds great products, they will experience some problems. In 2008 for example, the company faced a large recall of over 300,000 chainsaws because of a design flaw that caused the chain brake to fail or break off. This was a setback for the company, but they quickly recalled the products and offered to fix them. The only chainsaws that were affected by this recall were models built for Home Depot stores and sold between December 2007 and October 2008.
In terms of model lineup, Homelite currently make two electric chainsaws and four gas powered saws. Their hassle free electric saws make easy work of storm cleanup or pruning when an electrical source is close by. With either a 14 or 16 inch bar models available, a Homelite electric chainsaw will work well for the urban homeowner. With plenty of safety features, even those with no experience operating a chainsaw will be able to easily operate a Homelite. They're easy to maintain, durable and comfortable to operate, even for long periods of time thanks to their comfortable hand grip. These chainsaws are light and value priced so they're well within reach of almost every homeowner.
When it comes to gas chainsaws, Homelite has one that will suit your needs. Starting with a 14 inch, the company also makes a 16 inch, 18 inch and a 20 inch for those looking to cut through massive trees. With powerful 2 stroke engines and automatic chain oilers, these are easy to use, comfortable and affordable. The largest model with the 20 inch bar comes with a 46cc engine, which is plenty of power for almost any residential task. They make cleaning up after a tornado, hurricane or ice storm easier and faster.
