How large of a branch or tree can we expect this exact saw to be good for?

Not sure, but I use it on queen palms that have 2 - 4 inch frond branches. It has VERY sharp teeth and cuts very easily, but of course palm fronds aren't too tough to cut. I don't think it would cut down a tree, unless it was only a few (< 6 inches) in diameter. But it should do fine with most branches less than 6 inches I would imagine.

I only know from my own experience. I am a 50-year-old woman and fairly fit, but I don't have the upper body strength of most men. I easily sawed through a 3-inch diameter walnut limb in maybe a minute or two. Maybe not even that. It seemed fast, and the saw is really sharp with great pull. I've read that some have easily sawed through 6-inch or 8-inch diameters. I'm guessing I could do that, too; it just might take me longer.

It does just about everything. I take it camping, and we saw through big trees/trunks. And it saws like butter. I love this saw. I suggest buying a cover for it as well, to protect it better... and you.

It can do a small branch, say 3/4 of an inch up to 3 or 4 inches in diameter. I have cut 5 in trunks with it, but you are there awhile. It might cut a bigger one. But you would be using up your blade; when a bigger saw would be better for the job. I like to save this one for all my smaller branches so it stays sharp longer. I don't have anyway at home to sharpen the offset razor teeth on this saw. Hope this is helpful.

The saw is better at sawing/trimming smaller branches. I wouldn't recommend cutting longer than 24".

This has been a great saw I think this is good for most wood and really more depends on the actual blade you use I have used it on 3" inch thick counter tops, cutting tile, concrete, think ply wood, kitchen cabinets So it really depends on the blade you use as there is a blade for different materials But the actual saw itself is excellent and does a great job - even the laser light helps with lines Highly recommended!

I have used this for branches ranging from one inch to 1/4 across (rose of sharon, christmas pine, etc) . It likes a long straight woody branch. Not so good on highly branched hedge cuttings like a privet etc.

No, it will now shred branches that large. It will handle small twigs that always get mixed in with leaves when you rake or blow them into a pile.

We mostly use it for cutting limbs and brush up to around 5 or 6 inches in diameter, but I have seen others who say they cut limbs of 8 to 10 inches or more in diameter. It's not a heavy duty logging machine, so I wouldn't push it too hard.

It should be able to handle it just fine. I cut down a tree that had a trunk that was at least 8 inches. Just make sure the chain is well-oiled and snug. The chain on mine came off once, but I was able to get it back on. I think it has a tendency to do this when it is new, so you may have to do some adjusting for a while.

The saw will not handle a piece of wood that large. You might be able to make a cut then flip the wood over and make the other side and make another cut. The saw is not a heavy duty saw, it will cut small stuff great. That is what it was designed for, not heavy duty stuff.

I'm not sure if I understand the question. It works like a typical saw. You push and pull back and forth. It works like a charm. I'm a petite woman and I was able to saw up many many large limbs into about 20 bundles. Some of the branches were 12 feet long. As long as the branch doesn't exceed 6 nches in diameter, the saw will be able to handle it. I'm glad I did not get a small chainsaw. I love this saw! If you get pine sap on it, some scrubbling bubbles spray will remove it like magic.

If you are patient. This is strictly a light duty tool. For occasional use, it's great. For large cutting projects, you will want to find something else. You could probably cut 2" branches more quickly with a bow saw. I already have a collection of Bosch 12-volt tools and batteries, so buying it was an easy choice for me. Otherwise, I would seriously think about one of the 18 volt or plug-in saws.

Previous responses are on target. This is smaller than the typical "sawzall" and well suited to similar but smaller tasks. Is very well-suited to cutting in tight places where a larger saw may not fit.

Chain saw is heavy, good for cut the trees. This powered handsaw is lighter and thinner, the knife only 8 inches long, good for smaller trees, branches and small wood.

I had to look that one up as I live in the mid - west, but yes I imagine it would based on the picture I saw. The only problem we ran into was branches that were 1 and1/2 in diameter, but those were hard woods in most cases. might do a bit better on softer woods and in a palm type branch I believe it would do fine.

I have only used on @1-inch branches but it should cut larger pieces with the ratchet making it easier than you would expect.

We use ours for branches up to about 1.5 inches and it works great. Tried leaves and it was not to good.

You will burn a lot of fuel and chain oil. I have a 20" saw and it works well, just don't force the cut

yes, I was very pleased with this saw. had some branches hanging over the drive way and this worked great for these high branches.

I have not cut a board that big with the saw. It will cut a 2 x 10 without any problem.
