Hang on @Koolpc. It's not April Fools Day already is it ?

Thanks you @Diyisfun. Just don't burn it out. I've done 2 already !

Thank you @Koolpc. That sounds intesting, especially if it would also cut steel. I have power hacksaws, angle grinders with blades, etc. etc. but would love to know more about this when possible.

Thank you @Koolpc. This gets more interesting. Could you show us a bit more please ?

:giggle::giggle::giggle:

Thank you @Koolpc. Could you tell us a bit more about that ? Links to purchase, piccies, etc.

Thank you for that @johnny2007. That was very helpful.

Thank you @johnny2007. I'm afraid that I am ignorant about small battery power. I think I understand about volts but what exactly do amps mean ? There seems to be so many sizes and capacities of these small batteries.

Thank you @stevie888. Time will tell but I will report back on howit goes.

Thank you @foxhole. All that sort of information helps us on forums such as this. In actual fact the Head Gardener has informed me that she has ordered this for me to use : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chainsaw-Compatible-Batteries-Brushless-Lubricator/dp/B0D93D375Z?th=1 I liked the idea for...

Thankyou @SFK. Aaaaah. My mistake, confused the recip saws with the hand saws. My bad. My apologies.

Thankyou @JohnD. But I am confused. You have been telling me about recip saws and yet you say that you usually hold the weight with your left hand and operate the trigger with your right. And that yours is quite big and heavy ???

Thank you @JohnD. They sound as if they are quite useful. But I have a problem which I haven't mentioned begore. I have a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder and I would be using the saw qith my right hand and so I think it would cause me some grief.

Thank you @JohnD. Mmmmm That sounds interesting. I'll have another look.

Thanks for that @johnny2007. I think you are under the wrong impression. The LWMBO wouldn't even consider using the saw. That is what I am kept for ! I am just a lowly member of staff (fortunately the only one) But there are advantages. She does feed me and also keeps me warm at night.

Thank you @SFK. I looked at that DeWalt but it's too big for what I want and it is a two-handed saw. I have a 40cm Husqvarna for that size of job but I will never go up a ladder with a petrol saw. I am fortunate that I have a JCB and if I've got big stuff to cut I get up in the front bucket.

Thanks @stevie888. I would think that a reciprocating saw is safer than a chain saw but I have plenty of experience with the latter and I am sure it would be quicker. And can recip saws be sharpened ?

Thankyou @SFK. To be honest I hadn't thought about one of those. But if you were up a ladder cutting a branch and needed to nick it underneath to make sure that you left a clean cut and that the bark didn't run back beyond the cut it would be a bit difficult I think.

Thankyou @foxhole.

Thank you @Deluks. I've got 18V batteries for my DeWalt screwdriver & drill. I looked at one of th busted saws today and they are 26V Lithium batteries. Do all batteries have the same fixing points so that those with the same voltage could be swapped ?
