Arly, do you use any hand saws? I use a manual pole saw (fiberglass 6' segments with a saw plugged in at the top) a lot around here, and often use just the saw portion for direct pruning. These saws are sharp enough to go through a 3-inch oak branch in about 20 seconds with no worries about a battery getting too hot (warms me up though) - green wood, at least. 3-inch of hard dry oak takes longer. The saw goes through pine, wet or dry, almost like it's not there.
I'm not saying to go full manual as I definitely see the use of power tools for a full day of work, but I'm just curious.
