Chainsaws

See also: Axes

Chainsaws are a special type of axe that exist largely in Hardmode and can be used as an effective weapon. Much like the Muramasa and other fast-swinging swords, Chainsaws can deal very large amounts of damage quickly, but trade off the wide arc of such weapons for the ability to be pointed in any direction. Oddly enough, none of the chainsaws (not even the Drax or the Chlorophyte Chainsaw) surpass the Molten Hamaxe and its 150% axe power (the Butcher's Chainsaw and the Laser Drill tie it), but, from Palladium and on, they are able to cut down trees faster due to the rapid rate at which they hit the tree.

The best prefix for any chainsaw and the Drax would be Godly, as they cannot obtain a modifier that affects size or speed, unlike axes.

The Sawtooth Shark is the only chainsaw avaliable before Hardmode.
