Chainsaws were actually invented in the late 18th century as a medical tool. Yep, you read that right. A medical tool. It was used by doctors to perform symphysiotomy, which is a surgical procedure that involves cutting through a woman’s pelvic bone during childbirth.

✅And let me tell you, those early models were nothing like the powerful machines we have today. But hey, I guess someone had to come up with an easier way to chop down trees than using an axe.

📍So there you have it, my curious friend. Chainsaws were invented adapted for forestry work and now they’re a staple tool for lumberjacks.
