So today I was doing a bit of spike climbing and limbing in prep to drop a couple of 100 foot tall hemlock in the front yard. There really is no place to get them down from standing, so I'm planning to chunk them down. (If I can muster the guts and grit to get all that way up. I'm old, and my mind keeps writing checks my body can't cash.)
Anyway, I used the electric Makita for the up-tree limbing work, That thing ran out of battery before I did. And the saw draws more juice than the 3Ah batteries I have for the portable drill and driver can put out without faulting. I'll get another big battery... someday.
Pricey little devils!
Anyway, to clean up the mess of limbs dropped. I used the little clown saw.
Really is a light weight power house.
'Must have made a hundred cuts 4 inch and under. Dead hemlock limbs are nice for the back deck fire pit when we eat out there. Which is every night it's not raining.
If I were a bit more athletic, I would haul this gas saw up with me as I climb. But all the rope pull starts might just be too much for me, limbing as I climb.
Handi saw, but dangerous the way I grab a piece and drop the bar only a few inches from my hand. The electric saw is worse in regard to "operator safety"/
