Rank #9 in Best Petrol Chainsaw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Horsepower Claims Don't Match
WORKIT 62cc Petrol Chainsaw, 18-inch & 20-inch Bars
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WORKIT 62CC petrol chainsaw is the two-bar option on this list: an 18-inch bar and a 20-inch bar both come in the box, plus two chains, for £109.99. It takes ninth place. The figure worth pausing on is 3.8 horsepower — as the article sets out, the quoted claims across the 62cc saws here run from 3.0 HP to 3.8 HP for engines of identical displacement, and this one quotes the top of that range. That is a line in a listing, not a measurement: the Amazon data gives no kW equivalent, no torque figure and no test result to check it against. What can be checked is the hardware — 8.8 kg, a stated chain speed of 34.8 ft/s, a decompression valve for easier pulling, and a 40:1 two-stroke mix.
The rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 21 buyers, and the breakdown says more than the average does: 76% of those ratings are five-star, but 20% are one-star, with 4% at three stars. On a sample of 21, a handful of dissatisfied owners moves the average a long way, so the four-point-something understates how split the verdict is. WORKIT lists a one-year warranty and an email address for missing parts. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask

Is 3.8 horsepower believable from a 62cc engine?
The listing quotes 3.8 horsepower and gives no kW, torque or test figure alongside it. Across this guide's 62cc saws the quoted claims run from 3.0 HP to 3.8 HP for the same displacement, so the figure is best read as a manufacturer claim rather than a way to compare saws.
