The itty bitty chainsaw is reportedly a really useful little tool, but I don’t have any problems wielding my Ryobi cordless where I need one, and it will do a bigger limb. There are a ton of competitors to this one around, mostly from alphabet soup brands that you’ve never heard of and will never see again. And although Hammacher Schlemmer is a name that has been around for quite a while, I have always associated it with the kind of boutique item that is gratuitously expensive for what it really is. Kind of like Sharper Image for the Galleria crowd.
@werehatrack I have a 10" Craftsman that does quite nicely for smaller trees/ shrubs, and a Ryobi pole saw for everything else. Love the versatility of Ryobi One+, and Home Depot does some regular really sweet deals that I can never quite resist.
@brainmist@werehatrack
These smaller saws are wonderful for pruning/trimming work when you are trying to cut a branch that is too close to others to get a full sized bar in there. Plus the added benefit of being able to support the branch you are cutting with your free hand means cleaner cuts and less unwanted damage.
And yes, the Ryobi one+ 10" and the 40v 16" (and the pole saws for that matter) are great tools and all have their individual applications and benefits.
You can cut your toenails with kitchen shears, but is that really the right choice?
@brainmist@chienfou Kitchen shears are a better choice for trimming toenails than a chainsaw, that’s for sure. At least, I hope nobody needs that level of destruction capability.

@chienfou @werehatrack LOL, have you SEEN my toenails?

Too much contemplating, not enough toenails.
/showme a person contemplating of trimming their toenails that are visible with a cordless chainsaw
/showme someone contemplating the use of a small cordless chainsaw to trim their overly long toenails, which are visible.
Dude’s legs bend in mysterious ways, that’s for sure.
@mediocrebot Gonna laugh that it assumed this would be a white dude.
@werehatrack Based on the size, that’s someone else’s foot.
@brainmist @werehatrack One aspect that’s common – the use of Makita-style batteries on those chain saws.
Would it work on a giant Redwood?
@stefanseelmann Hoping the giant redwood would fell the attacker.
