I have one acre lot with 3 dozen oak trees, that needed some serious trimming on the lower branches. The thought of spending 10's of thousands of dollars for crew and equipment to come in and do the job was not an option I wanted to take. I have a 24' ladder that I could reach most branches, but I couldn't figure out a safe and easy way to cut them. I needed to at least hold the ladder with one hand and cut with the other. A hand saw would take forever, and my regular chainsaw needs to be gripped with two hands. But thanks to this little saw I was able to trim them myself with one hand.

It doesn't have a chain oil reservoir built in, chain must be oiled directly with the bottle that comes in the case. But considering the weight and compacted body, its still worth the trade off. Just remember to oil the chain at least once, per battery charge. [...]
