I've seen flexible "wire" saws that can bend a good bit. *These wire
saws have a grit coating. *I need to cut down a tree and was wondering
if anyone has ever used something like this on a rope. *You tie ropes
to either end of a "wire" saw, toss one end over a branch and pull
back and forth on the ropes to cut the limb.

I need to take down some high branches and don't have the $$$$ to pay
anyone. *Don't mind climbing up high, but sawing/working up high is
another thing. *I get spooked fast.

The branches are way beyond the reach of any poll saws I've ever seen..

Thanks

Ya , good idea...Stand directly under a limb your cutting off with a wire
saw on a rope...Is your life insurance paid up to date ?? If not do so for
your family....

Two people standing far apart would work well with a saw of that sort.

With a long enough rope, one can stand as far away from the tree as the
rope allows. You don't have to stand directly under a flagpole to raise
or lower the flag with a long enough halyard..
