Leylandi pruning
By J. Jackson
I have just spent 6 solid hours using this saw pruning a leylandi hedge, and it performed superbly. The hedge was about 50 yards long, and I reduced it from 8 feet to 5 with little difficulty. OK, the saw was heavy, but this was an advantage as the weight of the saw reduced kick-back when cutting heavy branches. Cutting older heart-wood was a bit slower than anticipated, otherwise I would have rated the saw five-stars, but this may have been the blade's fauly rather than the saw's! A chain saw might have been better with some branches, but the reciprocating saw's advantage was access in very tight spaces. It coped well with trunks and branches up to nine inches in diameter, although I doubt the manufacturer would recommend this. A real "boy's toy" for father's day and beyond!

Super Saw
By G. L. Stead
Saw arrived today - Thanks Amazon. I chose this saw because of the motor size. Big is better. Also because I know that Skil have a good reputation. So far I've cut up three tree trunks approx eight feet long by six inches diameter. This machine made mincemeat out of the job. I now have a pile of logs for the fire tonight.This saw is slightly on the heavy side - which is good as its own weight pulls it through. It's well balanced and easy to hold. Also, it's not as noisy as I thought it would be. So far I cannot fault it. Good choice - I'm glad I bought it.
