Chainsaw
Chainsaw is an electric IndustrialCraft 2 tool that fells wood faster than an iron axe, shears sheep, and runs on stored EU energy.
Description
Beyond logging, Chainsaw shears sheep for wool when right-clicked and instantly clears leaves, vines, and cobwebs. Chainsaw also works as a melee weapon, dealing heavy damage while it holds charge, though every swing and every block broken drains EU. Players pair Chainsaw with the Electric Wrench and Mining Drill as the core IndustrialCraft 2 tool set, keeping a charged spare in a BatBox for long tree-farm sessions.

Combine refined iron, an electronic circuit, and a charged RE-Battery on a crafting table to build one Chainsaw.
-
2

-
3
Harvest wood fast
Hold the Chainsaw and break logs or planks to fell trees far faster than an iron or diamond axe.
-
4
Shear sheep and clear foliage
Right-click a sheep with the Chainsaw to collect wool, or swing it to instantly remove leaves, vines, and cobwebs.
Chainsaw stops cutting at high speed once its EU reaches zero. Recharge it in any IC2 energy storage block before it fully drains to avoid losing mining speed.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft a Chainsaw in IndustrialCraft 2?
Chainsaw is crafted from refined iron, an electronic circuit, and an RE-Battery on a standard crafting table in the IndustrialCraft 2 mod.
What does the Chainsaw do?
Chainsaw chops wood faster than any vanilla axe, shears sheep for wool, clears leaves and cobwebs instantly, and works as a charged melee weapon.
How much energy does the Chainsaw hold?
Chainsaw stores up to 10,000 EU and is recharged in a BatBox, MFE, or any IndustrialCraft 2 charging block.
Can the Chainsaw be used as a weapon?
Yes. Chainsaw deals heavy melee damage while it holds charge, but each hit drains EU, so a depleted Chainsaw is much weaker.
