I absolutely love my battery powered hedge trimmer. I use it to beat back the wilderness occasionally. Anything that fits between it’s teeth is easily chopped up. I’m pretty impressed with the battery life too.
I currently have a sweet Stihl chainsaw, gas powered. It has been through so many trees on this property. I don’t see me ditching that anytime soon. Usually when I’m using it I’m tackling an entire tree and usually I’m going through multiple “gap ups” on it to get the job done. The largest I’ve done is a 36" diameter poplar tree. It took two of us all day to dismantle and deal with that one, with the help of diesel powered heavy equipment to move parts of it around.
