Nozzles allow you to turn an ordinary chainsaw into a multifunctional tool, indispensable in the household. We have collected the TOP-10 of the most useful, practical devices that are worth paying attention to.

Why do I need a chainsaw

The chainsaw drive is of the greatest value. It is he who allows you to upgrade the tool, giving it additional functions. At first glance, it may seem that such devices are superfluous. Having a chainsaw in use, you can:

• to cut dead dead trees;
• cut stumps into small fragments;
• carefully, evenly saw boards for the construction of various structures: a barn, a doghouse, a greenhouse.

However, using the nozzle, it is possible to significantly expand the functional / operational capabilities of the chainsaw. Such devices allow you to:

• drill an ice hole (indispensable for winter fishing);
• to harvest a large amount of firewood for the winter;
• use the tool as a motor for a rubber / wooden / metal boat;
• to cut logs not across, but along, procuring lumber of the required dimensions;
• cut natural, artificial stone, ceramic tile;
• grind, grind surfaces, ends, uneven edges;
• trim the hedge, creating bizarre geometric shapes;
• make holes in the soil for upcoming plantings;
• handle bars, boards, logs (cut grooves, cups);
• remove bark from timber with a thin, neat layer.

Benefits of using removable chainsaw attachments

Think about it: earlier to complete all of the above work would have required at least 5-6 tools. This would inevitably lead to large cash costs, constant trips to the hardware store and temporary losses. In addition, a really high-quality tool is expensive, and finding it is not easy.

Now this problem is solved by purchasing additional nozzles. The need to acquire a whole set of tools is a thing of the past. Having a quality saw of a well-known brand (preferably German, Japanese) in the household, you can equip it with additional working tools. Other advantages of these products include:

1. Save space. No need to allocate additional shelves, space in the pantry, trunk for storage / transportation of the necessary tools. Nozzles are compact and lightweight.
2. Easy to install. Changing the working tool is quick, does not require much effort. With the development of the skill, replacing one nozzle with another will take a few minutes.
3. Saving money. On average, the cost of nozzles is 2-3 times lower than the corresponding tool / equipment. Some devices completely replace the machines (for example, a nozzle for longitudinal cutting).
4. Quality. From a technical point of view, nozzles are in no way inferior in characteristics to a full-fledged tool.
5. High power. Chainsaws are initially designed to meet increased operational loads, and therefore their drive stands out for its excellent performance. Therefore, any nozzle used inherits this indicator.

Using the nozzles, you can solve a wide range of problems - construction, household, household, repair. Craftsmen even make such devices on their own, creating a variety of tools.

Why it is not recommended to connect nozzles to a chainsaw

Cons also exist, and it is worth paying due attention to them. If you calculate the operating load incorrectly and do not pause the work, letting the engine cool down, you can damage the motor. Replacement or repair will fly a pretty penny.

To prevent wear of the main components, to reduce the cost of maintenance and repair, it is necessary to take into account the drive power, or rather, the torque. There are nozzles that accelerate tool wear:

• outboard motor;
• Boer;
• calm;
• Bulgarian.

When performing grinding work, it is necessary to take into account dust rising into the air. It is able to clog the air intake filters, which impairs heat outflow, increasing the risk of equipment breakdown.

To compensate for these shortcomings can be the quality of the equipment. Using a chainsaw of well-known brands, which has excellent performance, you can avoid wear. We should not forget about timely maintenance.

What are the nozzles for a chainsaw

The range of these devices is very rich. On the shelves of stores there are models of domestic and foreign production. The most high-quality, wear-resistant, practical and durable are considered nozzles made of durable metal alloys. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the following indicators:

• the correct geometry of the working tool;
• quality of workmanship;
• density of compounds;
• lack of backlash, obvious damage, corrosion.

An absolute priority is compatibility. It is recommended to connect the nozzle before purchase, check its operability with your model of a chainsaw, make sure that the tool works smoothly at various power indicators. Below we provide a short but capacious description of the most interesting models.

Outboard motor

The nozzle has a large transfer tube, allowing you to immerse the screw under water and install the drive on the stern of any boat, regardless of model, material of manufacture, type and other parameters. A special mount helps fix the motor on board, simplifying operation. Installation of this device is very simple:

1. The drive sprocket and clutch are removed from the chainsaw.
2. The nozzle and gearbox are installed.
3. All elements and fixtures are fixed.

It is curious that the outboard motor is capable of speeds of about 15–20 km / h. Fuel consumption is 1 liter per hour. Such a motor will be indispensable when moving along the calm surface of a lake or quiet rivers.The average weight of the device is 5 kg. The outboard motor is suitable for fishermen, hunters, huntsmen.

The main condition when using this nozzle is in no case to overload the motor. This can result in equipment damage and personal injury.

Winch

An indispensable tool for motorists who often find themselves in difficult terrain. The traction device has amazing technical characteristics. The force can reach 2 tons, and the cable length is often 30 m.

Using the winch, you can:

• plow land (requires installation on tractor equipment);
• drag heavy objects;
• pull vehicles out of the ditch;
• clean felled trees.

The winch will be useful to builders. It allows you to do without large lifting equipment. For example, with its help it is quite possible to drag logs and lumber to the second floor during the construction of log cabins.

water pump

This nozzle also increases the load on the chainsaw motor, contributing to its wear, but at the same time allows you to pump a large amount of fluids. It is indispensable for watering gardens. It can be connected to the irrigation system of the greenhouse and provide convenient and quick watering. Suitable for filling pools and artificial ponds.

The nozzle is indispensable for people whose land is located far from the power line and there is no way to connect a standard pumping unit. The mobility and autonomy of the chainsaw allows you to solve this problem.

This work tool has gained great popularity among farmers and farmers. In addition, it can be used to supply water from artesian wells, wells, and even for pumping septic tanks.

Motobur

Indispensable for lovers of winter fishing. The nozzle is designed in such a way that allows you to make neat holes with smooth edges. The high power of the chainsaw provides easy drilling of a thick layer of dense ice. The sharp edges of the nozzle allow you to increase the speed of work. The diameter of the holes varies between 35–40 cm.

This device can be used on the farm. With its help, neat holes are made to install the supporting posts of the fence. Beams placed in the center of the recess can be poured with concrete, providing excellent stability.

When installing the tool, the drive sprocket is replaced by a reducer. Before this, it is necessary to stop the crankshaft. This simplifies the change of nozzles and ensures a reliable connection.

Wood splitter

An indispensable tool for those who stockpile a lot of firewood for the winter. The splitter attachment allows you to chop stumps and chocks, completely replacing the usual ax. It provides a tremendous saving of time and effort.

The conical shape of this working tool provides easy immersion in wood. The nozzle literally bursts chocks / stumps from the inside, exfoliating them into small fragments.

Standard wood choppers are designed for chocks with a diameter of about 40 cm. On sale you can find accessories suitable for especially large stumps. The nozzle is also suitable for splitting slabs and large boards.

Jointer

This tool is useful if you need to plan a large number of boards. Thanks to the well-developed metal structure, it removes a thin layer of wood without damaging it at the same time (the surface remains smooth, without burrs).

The performance of the jointer nozzle directly depends on the power of the chainsaw. If you reduce the number of revolutions, then you can minimize the load on the drive, which will prevent its wear.

Bark beetle

If the previous fixture is used for processing boards, then this is used for trunks. The nozzle allows you to remove the bark from the trees. The design is designed in such a way that provides a cut from round logs, removing long strips. The working tool is equipped with a belt and two pulleys. Installation does not cause difficulties, and the fastener scheme corresponds to other devices.

An important difference of the bark beetle nozzle from other types is the absence of a persistent bar. This prevents the tool from entering deep into the log, which prevents the appearance of notches, indentations, and other defects. The drum mechanism provides a constant, uniform cut along the entire length of the barrel.

Bulgarian

The classic nozzle that allows you to cut all kinds of materials:

• metal profiles;
• tile;
• artificial decorative stone.

The disadvantage of this nozzle is that it is not intended for grinding. The limitation lies in the design of the working tool. However, this tool is great for cutting.

The nozzle is installed on a regular place of the tire. To achieve maximum compatibility, it is recommended to select a working tool for a specific model of chainsaw. This will get rid of unnecessary load and increase the service life of mechanical components.

The Bulgarian is compatible with most disks, which affected the growth of its popularity. For safe operation, the nozzle is equipped with a special metal plate that prevents the spread of sparks.

Devices for longitudinal sawing of building wood

A very convenient model, indispensable for specialists who are constantly working with the procurement of lumber. The working tool is convenient in that it allows you to make a diagonal cut of the desired length. Cutting is carried out using special chains.

Among the advantages of this nozzle should be highlighted:

• durability;
• practicality;
• convenience in operation;
• high accuracy of longitudinal / diagonal cutting;

The device is suitable for working with logs and boards of any length. A special metal frame helps to keep the saw in the right position, without fear of displacement.

Trimmer and brush cutter

These nozzles should be in the inventory of each gardener. They turn a chainsaw into a multi-functional, convenient and high-performance brush cutter. The special design of the trimmer allows cutting thick enough branches without the risk of jamming of the working tool.

The nozzle has an elongated cutting part, which ensures safety during operation and allows you to get even to hard to reach places. The narrow body helps to easily cut certain segments, which is very important for decorative pruning of green hedges.

The listed nozzles have been repeatedly tested in everyday life. Their effectiveness has been proven in practice. The average cost of such devices is 2-3 thousand rubles, which makes them accessible to a wide range of consumers. Thanks to all the above features, nozzles for chainsaws and have gained their popularity.
