Re: “I've had mine for over twenty years or so.”


Forget about the loppers. That's extremely difficult once the weather turns cold. Even lopping a 2" trunk is difficult.

I bought 15 (I think... but maybe 12) Swiss bow saws from SportsmansGuide maybe 15 years ago. They're great, but that doesn't mean that the sawing is easy. It's never easy except on extremely soft wood like Sumac.

Trust me: A small chain saw is the way to go. If you don't think so, try sawing through your Christmas tree this January... while lying beneath it.

For the little trees - Loppers. Look kind of like a light weight pair of bolt cutters and are to be found in with pruning shears.

For the bigger ones a 'Bow Saw'. An aluminum frame a couple of feet or so long shaped a bit like a bow. Does good on small trees and taking branches off bigger trees. I've had mine for over twenty years or so.
