Hello all.
Short summary:
Have a lot of trees which need cutting back at the bottom of my garden. Have done some already with a hand saw and the thinner bits I have cut with secateurs.
However, the thicker bits take a bit of work so I was considering either a reciprocating saw or an electric chainsaw. I am somewhat hesitant to consider the latter because some of the work will be at height and there are always safety issues.
I thought a recip saw would be best but I am told they vary in their ability to cut and also that they blunt the blades quickly.
I am looking at branch diameters around 15-20cm max.
Two questions really;
(1) What would be best - recip or elec chainsaw?
(2) If recip - any suggestions please?
Before someone asks, I have been quoted £750 plus VAT for the work hence why I am keen to do it myself.
Thanks in advance.
