You can go thru wet (alive) limbs in 30 seconds or so with a sharp/new one. I have one in my garage if you want to go try it and see...

if you dont have that much stuff to do... $22 is alot cheaper and less complex than a $250 chainsaw.

"HOLD STILL BIATCH!!"

I started with a hand saw, that got old real freakin quick. Then I went texas-chain-saw-massacr crazy on the trees with great efficiency.

Not to do a whole yard cleanup.

I trimmed alot of my tall trees with just the bow saw.. Much safer than the chainsaw while on a ladder or climbing.
