Husqvarna 440 Chainsaw Review
Husqvarna® 440: Review of the Pros and Cons
Jose Wilson. Last Updated December, 2009.
When a manufacturer has more than six decades of experience in the bag, you know that they’ve been through all the ups and downs and survived. Husqvarna chainsaws are a trusted brand. Their extensive collection of chainsaws has made them a market leader.
Nevertheless, Husqvarna 440 is a good choice amongst their lighter-duty chainsaws. This can be useful if you are doing pruning or moderate felling. This chainsaw is not as big or powerful as some gas-powered ones, but it does the job.
As I discuss the pros and cons of Husqvarna 440, please bear with me. Get a comprehensive overview about the features and capabilities of this chainsaw. You can then match the chainsaw to your needs, and determine its value. Let’s get started.
Husqvarna 440 Chainsaw Review
A quick comment on the Husqvarna 440- it is suitable for light to medium work, it has got smart safety features, the vibration doesn’t get on your nerves, and the price-to-performance value is pretty good.
People who do not want to chop large trees would benefit from this saw. I’d recommend it instead to those looking for one that is perfect for their backyard. This doesn’t necessarily mean that DIYers are the only ones who can enjoy these perks. For many of my casual projects as a professional, the Husqvarna 440 was the right tool for me. You can read this Husqvarna Chainsaw 440 Review to learn more about its uses.

Husqvarna 440 vs. 440E What is the Difference?
It may not have escaped your notice that this review covers two models, but we are really only going to mostly talk about one, the Husqvarna 440e.
The specifications and features above show the similarities between the two models. One major difference is that the e series model can be used with a tool to tension the chain, while the 440 needs to be adjusted using the supplied T-wrench.
Additionally, this model weighs slightly more at 9.7 lbs than the 9.25 lbs.
We’ve also noticed that while the Husqvarna 440 e standard model is still in production, it is getting harder and harder to find.
Revision Summary
Husqvarna is known for making some of most robust and durable chainsaws available. Both homeowners and professionals trust Husqvarna when they want a trusted chainsaw that is durable enough to withstand many uses. Husqvarna saws can be expensive and are designed for professionals who are discerning. But, the 440E II is a moderate-priced chainsaw that offers power and other features to make it one among the top all-round chainsaws.
This saw packs a lot of power, and it even steps in to fix a common problem plaguing Husqvarna chainssaws. The lightweight of the saw makes it ideal for homeowner use. There are certainly cheaper options available, but they likely won’t offer the same level of quality, reliability, and ease of use.
