Which Chainsaw To Choose?
THREE FINGER JUGGLING LLC
Three Finger Juggling is proud to be the only juggling prop builders in the world to offer a selection of juggling chainsaws, but now the question, which one is best for me?
A lot of people get hung up on the weights of chainsaws. Extensive research on our part, shows that the lightest chainsaw in the world currently available is around 5lbs (2.3kg), but this is the dry weight. The dry weight is the chainsaw without any fuel or oil, and also without the bar and chain. So, when assembled and gassed up the lightest chainsaw is actually around 6.5lbs (3kg). For those of you interested in breaking juggling world records with chainsaws, the rules of all chainsaw juggling records states that the chainsaw without cutting gear must not be under 4.85lbs (2.2kg).
Along with weight, you will need to consider size, durability, portability and skill level.
So, which is right for you?
Three Finger currently has 2 gas powered chainsaws available, the regular juggling chainsaw and the new light weight juggling chainsaw.
The regular juggling chainsaw is the larger of the 2, although it is larger and heavier it is also more durable and can withstand more of a beating. If you are looking for an amazing ending to a show you only need 5 or 6 throws to go down in everyones history books! This model comes with a 10 bar for increased stage presence. The Handle on this saw is 1.5 and is padded for durability.
The light weight juggling chainsaw has been designed with the higher skilled juggler in mind. We have shaved every area of weight we can from this model to reduce down the weight, but with this reduction the saw becomes less robust. The saw can take drops, but is not designed to be a learning tool. This saw is for the performer looking to break records, juggle chainsaws on unicycles, juggle multiple chainsaws, juggle for longer periods of time. This model comes with an 8 carving bar, which again cuts down some weight but the bar tapers more to a point (for carving) but for us it gives a more aggressive profile. This model also comes with a removable handle which means it can be packed small for travelling. The Handle on this saw is 1 and is padded for durability, it also boasts an EPDM rubber knob.
