Try one of these for twenty bucks, and buy a lot of long
blades at HF, or your good quality hardware. You can get
blades up to 12 inches or more.

14 inch chainsaw, electric, on sale for $60. Needs bar oil,
I'd guess.




Don't know how good the above saw is ($20 bucks ... LOL) but a 12"
bi-metal demo blade in a decent reciprocating saw can cut hardwood limbs
with no trouble. Obviously it will be slow in comparison to a chain saw
but a reciprocating saw is a great tool to have on hand anyway and a
whole lot less hassle than a chain saw. For occasional use its the way
to go.

By the way, about 16 years ago I bought a reciprocating saw that doesn't
have a handle and its so much easier to use than one that does, turn it
upside down, sideways whatever ... its just easier.
