The right chainsaw setup turns a hard afternoon into a manageable one. A property owner clearing storm debris, a firewood cutter working through winter stock, or a hobbyist maintaining a wooded lot all share one need: a tool that starts clean, cuts steadily, and holds up to repeated use. This list rounds up genuine chainsaw hardware plus the parts that keep a working saw on the bar, covering scabbards, chaps, replacement nuts, replacement chain, and three cordless saws from DEJUNPIOOL that pair with existing battery platforms. Each pick solves a different friction point, so the right match depends on what is missing from the current kit.

More Details On Our Top Picks
A scabbard sounds unglamorous until someone carries a bare bar into a vehicle and discovers what chain teeth do to upholstery. Husqvarna’s 596703701 cover fits bars from 13 to 16 inches, the size range where most homeowner and prosumer saws live. It is a genuine OEM part, so the fit around the nose and tensioner area matches Husqvarna bars without the binding or loose rattle that aftermarket covers often show.
For anyone storing a saw on a garage shelf, tossing it in a truck bed, or rolling it into a job site, this scabbard covers the teeth and keeps the bar from dinging other gear. Compared with the chaps below, this is a tool-protector rather than a body-protector, but both belong in a complete safety setup.
A Strong Showing
- Genuine Husqvarna part for accurate fit on Husqvarna bars
- Covers 13-inch and 16-inch bar sizes in a single scabbard
- Replaces multiple older Husqvarna part numbers, easing sourcing
- Lightweight plastic that resists cracking in cold weather for most owners
- Slides on and off quickly between cuts and transport
Points To Keep In Mind
- Designed specifically for Husqvarna bars; non-OEM bars may sit loose inside
- Plastic can warp when left in direct sun on a hot truck bed
Whose Shelf It Belongs On
Anyone running a 13-inch or 16-inch Husqvarna chainsaw who transports it in a vehicle or stores multiple saws together.
Reach For A Different Pick When
The Husqvarna 587160702 Apron Chainsaw Chaps suit a shopper focused on body protection rather than bar storage.
Apron-style chainsaw chaps cover the front of the legs from waist to below the knee, the area most exposed when bucking or limbing. Husqvarna’s 587160702 model adjusts up to a 38-inch waist with a 32-inch inseam, fitting a wide range of adult frames. The defining trait is the protective layer inside the fabric, which uses a pull-apart design intended to clog a chainsaw’s sprocket and arrest the chain when contact happens.
For someone cutting firewood or trimming trees without a professional crew behind them, these chaps provide a meaningful layer of defense. Pairing them with the scabbard above and a proper helmet rounds out the gear that keeps a casual cutting session from turning into a trip to the emergency room.
Where It Helps
- Pull-apart fiber layer slows or stops a moving chain on contact
- Adjustable waist up to 38 inches covers most adult sizes
- Apron front reduces snag points compared with full chaps during walking cuts
- Husqvarna-branded PPE matched to the brand’s saw lineup
Trade Offs
- Single waist size range; very tall or very short operators may need to size up or down
- Protective fiber can stiffen after repeated washing if machine-dried
- Apron style leaves the back of the leg less covered than full-wrap chaps
Feature Snapshot
Who Should Grab It
Homeowners cutting their own firewood or doing weekend limbing who want named-brand leg protection without paying for arborist-grade full-wrap chaps.
Swap It Out When
Professional loggers or full-time arborists should consider full-wrap protective pants over the Husqvarna 587160702 Apron Chainsaw Chaps for rear-leg coverage.
Bar nuts are the small threaded fasteners that hold the bar and chain cover plate to the saw body, and they are also the part most likely to round off, get lost in the grass, or vibrate loose mid-cut. Shiosheng’s 10-pack fits a long list of Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Poulan Pro models, replacing part numbers 531300382, 530015917, and 503220001. For a shop that services several saws, having a drawer full of these on hand eliminates a half-day parts run.
The trade-off is that this is an aftermarket part rather than a manufacturer-branded component, which matters more for shoppers who insist on OEM fasteners than for general replacement use. Compared with the safety gear in picks one and two, this is purely a maintenance consumable.
Practical Pluses
- Ten nuts per pack, enough for multiple rebuilds or a full shop stock
- Covers three common OEM part numbers across four chainsaw brands
- Useful for older Husqvarna models like the 136, 137, 141, and 142 series
- Threads reportedly match factory depth on the listed replacements
Some Limits To Know
- Aftermarket rather than OEM, so fit on unusual saws is worth verifying
- No listing of exact thread pitch in the available data, so confirm before ordering
Best Suited To
Small-engine repair shops and homeowners with multiple older Husqvarna, Craftsman, or Poulan saws who need a ready supply of bar nuts.
Look Elsewhere When
A buyer replacing a single nut should grab a Husqvarna OEM fastener instead of the Shiosheng Chain Saw Bar Nuts 10-Pack.
The DEJUNPIOOL mini chainsaw ships without one, accepting any Dewalt 20V MAX battery a shop already owns, including the DCB200, DCB201, DCB203, DCB204, DCB205, DCB206, DCB208, DCB230, and DCB240 packs. A brushless motor (a design that uses electronic switching instead of carbon brushes for longer life and better efficiency) drives both 6-inch and 8-inch bars, switching between them depending on limb thickness. The built-in auto-oiler feeds bar oil during use, which keeps the chain from scoring the bar during longer cuts.
For a homeowner already running Dewalt drills and saws, this is one of the cheapest ways to add a chainsaw without buying a new battery platform. Smaller bars make quick work of saplings and overhead limbs, though anything approaching a mature trunk belongs on a longer-bar saw like pick seven below.
Strengths Worth Knowing
- Dual 6-inch and 8-inch bar options in one kit
- Brushless motor for cooler running and longer service life
- Auto oiler reduces manual lubrication steps during cuts
- Battery compatibility spans the common Dewalt 20V MAX line
Things To Consider
- Tool only, so the battery and charger must be purchased separately or pulled from an existing Dewalt tool
- Short bar limits the diameter of limbs it can clear in one cut
Quick Facts
Right Fit For
Dewalt 20V MAX owners handling light pruning, shrub work, and small-diameter limb removal around the yard.
Skip It When
Anyone needing to fell trees or section large logs should step up to the DEJUNPIOOL 16″ Cordless Chainsaw for Dewalt 20V/60V instead of this compact mini.
EGO’s AC1600 chain is the factory replacement loop for the EGO POWER+ 16-inch cordless chainsaw, sold under the CS1600 and CS1604 model numbers. It uses a low-kickback design, a tooth geometry that reduces the upward snap when the bar tip contacts hard wood, and a 0.043-inch gauge, which is the thickness of the chain’s drive links that ride in the bar’s groove. For EGO owners whose original chain has stretched or dulled, this is the safe bet.
Third-party chains sometimes fit EGO bars, but matching the original chain maintains the low-kickback profile the saw was designed around. The trade-off is brand lock-in: this chain is a poor match if the saw in the garage is a Stihl or Husqvarna.
What Makes Sense
- Factory-spec replacement chain for EGO POWER+ 16-inch saws
- Low-kickback geometry preserves the saw’s designed safety profile
- 0.043-inch gauge matches the CS1600 and CS1604 bar groove
Where It May Fall Short
- Brand-specific, so it does not transfer to non-EGO saws
Who Will Love This
EGO POWER+ 16-inch chainsaw owners needing a fresh chain that restores the original cut quality and kickback rating.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
Husqvarna or gas-saw owners should look for a brand-matched Husqvarna chain instead of the EGO POWER+ 16″ Chain Saw Chain AC1600.
The Milwaukee M18 version of the DEJUNPIOOL mini chainsaw mirrors the Dewalt model above but speaks the M18 battery language, accepting 48-11-1820, 48-11-1830, 48-11-1840, 48-11-1850, 48-11-1852, 48-11-1860, 48-11-1862, 48-11-1865, and 48-11-1880 packs. The bundle includes two 6-inch chains and two 8-inch chains, which is a useful stockpile for someone who burns through chain in dirty wood. A brushless motor and auto oiler round out the same hardware setup found in pick four.
Compared with the single-chain kits in other listings, having spare loops means a dull chain does not end the workday. Anyone already standardized on M18 tools gets the same value here that Dewalt owners get from pick four.
What It Does Well
- Four chains included, two per bar length
- Wide Milwaukee M18 battery compatibility across the 18V lineup
- Brushless motor design supports long sessions in moderate wood
- Auto oiler keeps the bar fed during continuous cuts
Worth Noting
- Tool only, so an M18 battery and charger must come from an existing tool
- Short bars cap the diameter of branches this saw can clear in a single pass
Feature Card
Made For
Milwaukee M18 platform owners pruning shrubs, clearing brush, and sectioning small-diameter limbs with a battery they already own.
Where Another Pick Suits Better
Users needing a longer bar for felling or sectioning mature trees should look at the DEJUNPIOOL 16″ Cordless Chainsaw for Dewalt 20V/60V instead of this Milwaukee-tied mini.
The 16-inch DEJUNPIOOL closes the lineup by stepping up bar length and battery flexibility. It runs on the same Dewalt 20V MAX packs as pick four, plus the higher-output 60V MAX batteries (DCB606, DCB609, DCB612), giving a runtime boost that matters when cutting thicker limbs. A brushless motor, auto oiler, and a battery-level screen on the body round out the feature set, and the kit includes three chains to keep cuts moving.
For someone who has outgrown a 6 or 8-inch bar but does not want to drag a gas saw out of the shed, this is the natural next step. The trade-off is weight and cost: a 16-inch bar with a 60V pack tips the scale past the mini saws in pick four and pick six.
Positive Points
- 16-inch bar handles felling small trees and sectioning mid-size logs
- Accepts both Dewalt 20V MAX and 60V MAX batteries
- Onboard battery-level screen removes guesswork mid-cut
- Three chains in the box for extended sessions
- Brushless motor and auto oiler match the smaller DEJUNPIOOL models
Things To Weigh
- Tool only; battery and charger are separate purchases or pulled from existing Dewalt gear
- Heavier and longer than the 6-inch and 8-inch mini saws in this list
Spec Overview
Perfect Match For
Dewalt battery platform owners who need a longer-bar cordless chainsaw for tree work and thicker branch removal without switching to gas.
Consider Something Else When
Light pruning around shrubs and small saplings is faster on the lighter DEJUNPIOOL Cordless Mini Chainsaw for Dewalt 20V than on this 16-inch model.
Choosing The Right Pro Chainsaw Setup For Your Work
Start with the battery platform already in the shop. A Dewalt 20V or Milwaukee M18 user pays far less by choosing a tool-only saw that shares the existing packs. A homeowner who cuts once a season may not need a 60V pack at all, while a firewood cutter running through cord after cord benefits from the runtime boost.
Bar length matters more than brand. Six and 8-inch bars handle saplings and brush, a 14 to 16-inch bar reaches into felling small trees and sectioning mid-size logs, and anything longer belongs in the hands of someone comfortable handling a full-size saw. Pair the bar length with the wood being cut, not the wood one hopes to cut someday.
Cutting chain specs worth knowing: gauge (the drive-link thickness, which must match the bar groove), pitch (the distance between drive links, again matching the bar), and tooth geometry (low-kickback profiles trade a little cutting speed for safety). Replace a chain with the same gauge and pitch, and verify low-kickback design where the bar tip sees a lot of contact.
Personal protective equipment is not optional. Apron-style chaps, a scabbard for storage and transport, gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection belong in the same trip as the saw itself. A scabbard also extends chain and bar life by shielding the teeth from grit when the saw rides in a truck bed.
Key Considerations Across These Picks
Pitfalls Shoppers Hit
Buying a tool-only saw without checking battery compatibility is the fastest way to end up with a non-functional purchase. Confirm the specific battery model numbers before ordering, since not every pack in a brand’s lineup fits every tool. Skipping the scabbard and chain cover plate is another common oversight, since a bare bar in storage can nick other tools and dull the chain teeth on contact.
The Case For Spending Up
A brushless motor, an auto oiler, and a longer bar all add cost, but each addresses a real ownership pain. Brushless designs last longer under heavy use, auto oilers remove a step that gets forgotten mid-cut, and a longer bar cuts larger wood in fewer passes. For someone cutting more than a few weekends a year, the upgrade from a brushed mini saw to a brushless 16-inch model is the difference between finishing the woodpile and running out of daylight.
Final Verdict
The right chainsaw setup depends on what already sits in the garage and what kind of wood needs cutting. A Dewalt or Milwaukee owner gets the best value by pairing a DEJUNPIOOL mini or 16-inch saw with the batteries already on the bench. An EGO owner gets a clean chain replacement from pick five. Anyone missing protective gear should start with the Husqvarna scabbard and apron chaps before the saw cuts its first log.
