Have a Leyllandii hedge that I'm planning to remove and Ideally want
to use some sort of electric saw to remove the branches..

So far I'm torn between using a reciprocating saw (Scorpion) and a
"lopper" (Mini chainsaw)

Will the Scorpion do the job adequately or should I go with the mini
chain saw? Obviously the Scorpion will be useful for future jobs but
will it cut tree branches easily?.
