Those cheapie mini chainsaws are awesome, especially for lopping branches and cutting up the waste. I've got one that is very similar to yours and another that is smaller. I always use my petrol chainsaws for anything over 6 inches though. Cheers!
Yes I agree mate, the bigger ones I cut I would have used my petrol saw which I had with me, I just wanted to test if it would do it all with the batteries. Will be great now for work up in trees and for logging smaller stuff for the fire. Cheers 👍
Hi korey, on the bigger logs it takes longer to cut than a petrol saw would but much easier to use also without the noise. I think its much safer for smaller branches than my petrol as you have a free hand. Cheers. 👍
I use a Stihl pole saw but it needs sharpening regularly it's pretty good but I now use a silky pole saw which is very good for a hand saw and almost as quick. The little saw looks good but the chain will need sharpening soon, I bet. 👌👍
@@nickthegardener.1120 I used the husq pole saws and clippers a few years back at a place I worked, the weight and force needed to use it at length really takes a toll after a short time, I stopped using them in favour of ladders. 😁 Yes it's going to need sharpening at some point nick but chain must be of decent quality as it was cutting just as well when I finished. Don't know about you but I can never get a chain to cut as well after sharpening as the factory finish it came with. When I was using the saws alot I bought the grinder sharpener that does a better job but still never as good as a new chain. Cheers.
@thevegplot You get a spare chain which is great. I need a vice to sharpen my chain and if it's blunt on a job that's it for me until I sharpen it and yes I can't sharpen that well certainly not as good as a new chain.👌👍😁
@@nigeladderley1088 hi Nigel yes I didn't have great expectations at first and actually brought my petrol saw thinking I would need it, however as you saw in the video it really did a great job, slower cutting on the big stuff but at the same time less taxing on the arms and ears. Cheers
Parents have a Macallister version, which has a smaller blade than the one you used there, but it’s been mighty impressive with the added bonus of sharing a battery with my water butt pump. I must post some video of the pump, that’s turned out to be really good. Obviously limited in power but I reckon from memory it will pump a 200l water butt dry in around 20 minutes. (I just checked and the through rate is claimed as 1900 litres ph but I’m not sure about that). Works well for shifting water around my plot from the butts by the shed to the other end 25 m away.
Hi Paul yes be interested to see the pump I'm seriously thinking of setting up some drip irrigation pipe to water the potato beds this year, prob run them off the big IBC thank. It might stop blight taking over if we get another bad year by not wetting the stems and leaves if water is needed. Cheers
Very impressive cut from that little chainsaw. I also am used to petrol chainsaws and how awkward they can be to use safely. This electric saw seems so much easier and safer! Can I ask you what video editing software you use?
@@NoDigNorm hi Norm yes I can honestly say they have their uses alongside a petrol saw, I use Sony Vegas for the editing pretty simple to use as all the versions work just the same. Cheers. 👍
@@Plottogether37B not an easy one to answer as it depends on the tree type you want to prune, basically cutting any branch leads to the branch putting out new growth beneath the cut. Cutting to the trunk prevents that for instance on a fruit tree where you want to open up the centre of the tree for light and air. Cheers.
@@carolinedunkley8035 hi Caroline, I've mentioned this before when I say guys I'm referring to everybody really, many of the women on you tube also use the term guys they are not just referring to men. I think saying ladies and gentlemen all the time is just too formal, and today sadly you have to be careful calling anyone a lady or gentleman. Cheers.
@thevegplot no worries mate, was asking about insta as my fb account got shut down due to being hacked and it messed everything up inluding yt. They were sending viruses and nasty messages to people so everything was shut down, only just got yt and insta back mate tbh😪😡😡
@@grahambolton3428 some people are just a******** mate I've come across so many since I started my channel, thankfully the good far outweigh the rest and alot of the time sadly I've found it's jealously or they don't agree with your stance. For instance I might feel strongly about churning over the soil but I wouldn't dream of targeting them to destroy what they do. Of course you have others who get a kick out of it or are doing it for financial reasons. I've had all of them on different platforms and channels over the years. I checked your channel you will have to get some content out mate. Cheers. 👍

I recently bought one. I love it! Now I don’t have to wait for my husband to use the big chainsaw and I was shocked at how well it cut larger trees!

I have a 12" one, it's excellent!
I bet it is mate. 👍
Oh I just told my sis in law to get one of these 👍👍. Have a fab week, Ali 🥶🌞🇨🇦

That did a great job I did order a 10," one eairler today due to arrive on Friday

Surprising what these little battery mini chainsaws can handle. Safer too.
@@sowgroweat6987 I agree Mike really surprised just how useful it is. Cheers.
Now that is a handy tool 👍🇬🇬
@@stuartdelamare4072 your right Stuart had someone I know showed me one I would have already bought one, I will be using this all the time now. 👍
My old pallet shed still going strong behind you 😀
AHH that was your eh cool. 👍

Did you know what branches etc to cut to promote tree growth? I'm a novice so I wouldn't know where to start?

@@thevegplotin your defence, I always say “guys” when talking to a group of people. I also have one of these electric saws, fantastic bit of kit!
