Which Homeowner grade Battery Chainsaw is the best value? Stihl vs Worx...YOU DECIDE!

What happens here

For the heavy-duty test, the presenter places two larger poplar logs on the Kubota tailgate: one approximately 4.5 inches in diameter and another 8.5 inches in diameter. He explains that he will push down extremely hard on the chainsaws while cutting to test their torque and how they handle stalling. He starts with the Stihl, applying significant pressure, noting that it tends to bog down and cut out. He then tries the Worx on a different spot, pushing just as hard. The Worx, despite being less responsive initially, impressively powers through the log without stopping, demonstrating superior torque under heavy load.

Goal: Compare chainsaw torque and stalling resistance on larger logs
