The B2 chainsaw super battle droid, more commonly known as chainsaw droids, were a modification of the basic Confederate super battle droids used by the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Chainsaw droids were created specially by Baktoid Combat Automata, the main droid manufacturer of the Confederacy, for use in cutting through some substances more efficiently than with a laser. Thus, they were equipped with two chainsaws that could also be used to attack enemies.
