You have to be willing to hold and use the tool properly. Anything less does not result in a "downside". That is why they have that flexible foot on them, to press up against the work being cut. Sounds like somebody was trying to reach too far. Like any power cutting tool, you gotta plan your cut before you pull the trigger. No saw works well to cut the end off a spring hanging in mid-air. That is why those tree-pruning saws on the long poles are of such limited usefulness, other than right up by the trunk or a thick main branch. Thick branches and right up against the trunk is the Intended use. I get that- trouble is, there are a lot of branches I need to trim that fall between the thumb-size the rope powered lopper will cut, and the thick ones the sawblade will get a bite on. I don't wanna take the whole side off the tree, I just want to trim away where it rubs the roof and siding, and gets into the TV antenna. You need one of the double bladed "aligator" pruning saws or a small pole mounted pruning chain saw - both designed to do that job, and do it relatively well. |
