Jonsered vs. Husqvarna Chainsaw

Jonsered and Husqvarna are two reputable chainsaw brands known for manufacturing high-quality and top-notch chainsaws over the years. Whichever manufacturer you choose, you will get a quality chainsaw and excellent results.

Jonsered has been in the chainsaw business since 1954, and they are known for engineering the first single man chainsaw. Since the company is situated in Sweden, where the landmass is covered with 75% forest, they are exceptionally good with their chainsaw design.

Husqvarna has to be one of the oldest chainsaw companies as they have been in business since 1689, although they did not start manufacturing chainsaws until 1959. Electrolux bought out Husqvarna in 1978, but their success made it possible to buy back their company and Jonsered in 2006.

Jonsered and Husqvarna make great chainsaws for different purposes. One significant difference between both companies is that Husqvarna has a broader range of chainsaws that come in different prices that suit your budget.
