Locations

 * Clarksburg - On the top floor of the hardware store, on a shelf above a safe.
 * Crimson Prospect - Can appear southwest next to a bus, on a metal shelf, on the bottom row.
 * Mountainside Bed & Breakfast - Can spawn in the basement on the shelf with the ammo box. As of Wastelanders, one can become permanently locked out of the basement (and thus this chainsaw) by completing the miscellaneous quest with the cannibals.
 * Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 - Inside the South Expansion, on a table with a portable grill, on the upper level accessed through the broken pipes.
 * Ranger district office barn - On a cabinet opposite a row of cages.
 * WV Lumber Co. - Can spawn on the table in front of the fusion generator on the lower interior level of the complex.

Behind the scenes
The reason the chainsaw, drill, and Ripper do not have max level variants is due to a technical bug behind the scenes causing damage to calculate incorrectly. Until this gets addressed, the developers have stated that there are no plans to add leveled versions of these items.

Bugs
The chainsaw is missing keywords for melee and two-handed melee, making it incompatible with any weapon class-specific buffs or perks.
