Funny chainsaw names for every kind of saw: puns like I Came I Saw, Chain Reaction and Bar Fight, wood-chewing beasts like Bark Biter and Beaver Fever, logging terms like Feller and Bucker, old-timer names like Two-Stroke Sue, and battery saw names like Quiet Riot and Watt Now.

About chainsaw names

A chainsaw gets a name the way a truck or a mower does: it has a voice, a temper on cold mornings and a job nothing else in the shed can do. This list holds 1,000 nicknames for it, most of them meant to raise a smile.

The biggest groups are puns on the four words the tool hands you: saw (I Came I Saw, Saw It Coming), chain (Chain Reaction, Off the Chain), bar (Bar Fight, Raise the Bar) and cut (Final Cut, Sir Cuts-a-Lot). Around them sit tree puns by species, from Pine Slayer to Cedar Later, and beasts that chew wood, such as Bark Biter, Beaver Fever and Termite. Logging vocabulary is used the way the trade uses it: Feller, Bucker, Kerf, Cant Hook, Whistle Punk and Full Chisel all mean something in the woods.

The rest follows the saw you own. Small limbing saws get Mini Bite and Branch Manager, long bars get Big Bar Bob, and battery saws get Quiet Riot and Watt Now. There are old-timer names (Bertha, Two-Stroke Sue), pull-cord jokes (Fifth Pull Phil, Flooded Again), carving and firewood names (The Sculptor, Cord Counter), and a small share with a zombie-movie or video game wink, such as Last Resort and Final Boss.

How to choose chainsaw names

Match the name to the saw. A top-handle or small limbing saw suits Mini Bite or Lil' Ripper, a long-bar felling saw suits Big Bar Bob or Big Timber, and a battery saw suits Quiet Riot or Indoor Voice.
Let the saw's habits choose. One that needs coaxing has earned Fifth Pull Phil or Flooded Again, and one that fogs the yard is Blue Smoke or Chain Smoker.
Keep it short if you plan to write it on the case, the bar cover or the fuel can. Kerf, Bucker, Termite and Chomper fit on a strip of tape.
Say it the way you will use it: 'Hand me Bertha' or 'Kerfuffle needs sharpening.' The names that last are the ones the whole crew enjoys saying.
For a saw you inherited, let its history do the naming. Grandpa's Saw, The Heirloom and Barn Find tell the story in a couple of words.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny chainsaw names?

The classics are puns on saw, chain, bar and cut: I Came I Saw, Chain Reaction, Bar Fight, Sir Cuts-a-Lot and Buzz Kill. For something less common, try Kerf Your Enthusiasm, Hemlock Holmes, Cord of the Rings or Whittle While You Work. All of these are in the list of 1,000.

What should I name a battery or electric chainsaw?

Battery and corded saws get jokes about volts and silence: Quiet Riot, Watt Now, Ohm Sweet Ohm, Cordless Gordon and Library Voice. No Gas No Glory and Unplugged suit a saw that replaced a gas one.

Are the logging terms in the list real?

Yes. Feller, Bucker, Choker Setter, Whistle Punk, Cant Hook, Humboldt and Back Cut are words from felling and logging work, used here as nicknames. Widowmaker Watcher nods to the trade's word for a broken limb hanging overhead.

Are there names for a carving saw or a firewood saw?

Yes. Carvers can pick from The Sculptor, Bear Maker, Dime Tip and Whittle by Whittle. Firewood cutters have Cord Counter, Stack Attack, Stove Stuffer and Heats You Twice, along with other names about cords, ricks and the woodpile.
