Husqvarna 445 II Chainsaw

Cut through the noise and the wood with the Husqvarna 445 Mark II, the second-generation powerhouse engineered for those who demand professional-grade results from a mid-sized saw. Specifically built to handle the damp, dense timber often found across Ireland, the 445 Mark II bridges the gap between occasional residential use and heavy-duty farm maintenance. At its heart lies a 45.7cc X-Torq® engine that doesn’t just deliver a punchy 2.1 kW of power, but does so while slashing fuel consumption by 20% and reducing emissions by up to 75%. Whether you are thinning out a shelterbelt, processing firewood for the winter, or maintaining an estate, the 445 Mark II offers a “flick-of-the-wrist” maneuverability that makes a full day of bucking and limbing feel significantly less taxing.

• Smart Start® with 40% Less Effort: Forget the exhausting “arm-rip” starts. The engine and starter are precision-tuned to engage quickly with a slower pull, reducing resistance in the starter cord by a massive 40%.

• Centrifugal Air Injection™: This is a game-changer for longevity; a centrifugal system purifies the air before it even hits the filter, removing large dust particles and debris to keep the engine running cooler and extending the time between filter cleanings.

• LowVib® Anti-Vibration Dampeners: Designed to exceed workplace safety comfort standards, Husqvarna’s effective dampeners isolate the engine from the handles, protecting your hands and arms from fatigue and long-term vibration stress.

• Visible Fuel Level & Flip-Up Tank Caps: No more guessing or struggling with tight caps in the cold. The transparent fuel indicator lets you check levels at a glance, while the oversized flip-up caps are easily operated even when wearing heavy work gloves.

• Forged Three-Piece Crankshaft: Built for “worst-case scenario” durability, the internal crankshaft is forged rather than cast, ensuring the 445 can handle high-torque applications and accidental over-revving without internal failure.

• Precision Felling Marks: Distinct, permanent felling marks are molded into the saw body, providing a clear line of sight to help improve your felling accuracy and safety.

• Combined Choke/Stop Control: A unified switch simplifies the starting procedure and significantly reduces the risk of engine flooding—a common frustration with older 2-stroke models.
