Can you cut tall hedges or are the branches to small.

We have never tried it on hedges. Though it does a great job on branches of any size so far.

I trimmed all the branches on my trees as long as I took it slow. Let the saw do all the work and don't force it. It will even cut large branches if you take it slow. Bit by bit, and it's done. Great saw!!!

as long as you buy the one with the Metal Impeller model you can cut through small branches and I have not had any issues with acorns, but I don't have many acorns.

You can trim anything , but it does not rotate sideways to top them like a hedge trimmer would.

These saws are extremely sharp. Much sharper than any I have had before. You can cut a 4 or 5 inch branch with surprisingly little effort. If you are cutting branches larger than 2 inches make sure you cut the underside before cutting the limb off so the weight of the limb doesn't tear the bark near the end of the cut as the limb breaks free.

I'm not sure what the official answer might be, but I know I've used it to cut through branches that were around 3/4". I just have to work at it a little. That's for green wood in a hedge, though.

Myles: Being that is a ratchet type pruner, you can cut larger branches than a regular pruner that size will cut. I cut a branch that was a little over an inch and a half. I had to keep chomping on it but it got through it. Anything larger requires a larger pruner. Nice pruner for the price. Jim P

This is not going to work as well on tall grass and vines as a regular machete in my opinion. It does work well on saplings and limbs......it is more of a chopper and less of a slicer.

I would clear the mowing area of large sticks and branches but small twigs are not a problem.

Yes, this cuts in both directions and is well worth the money for this model. I would definitely recommend it. Cuts clean and fast, is lightweight and not very loud. I did the whole front of my house which were large hedges about 6" overgrown in about an hour. I was trying to push these to see what they would and wouldn't do and only the thickest branches slowed them down but they could still cut them with persuasion. Hope this helps good luck.

I had to look up images of the summer sweet before I could answer this question.From the pictures it appears that you should have no problems. I have used this saw to cut down over 2" thick branches.

I tried cutting bushes with it. It's insufficient. Hard to hold and does not cut anything very thick.,, however I love the small cutting grass unit.I have 2 of them. When the battery goes down on one I have the other all charged. I never use the longer blade.

Yes. I have one and it works fine, even the gardeners use the same setup for hedges. Very heavy and tiring to use, however. Poulan makes Sears pole saws, trimmes and string trimmers, so you can see them in person there.Hope that helped

I have not used the Jawhorse for cutting wood...but I am sure smaller branches could be just pinched shut.., but be careful cutting around the metal legs..big sparks I would think

YES. I've used mine that way just recently. Great pole saw. AND LONG ! I use it for my Palm trees which are quite high.I must add.....after reading other answers, that you will NOT have much leverage, because all you will have is thetop silver part. BUT, I made out fine. It's Not in place of a "Pruning Saw".

The cutting portion of the blade is 6" in length, 2 1/2" in width. Unless the shrubbery is small in area, with thin branches, it is not recommended for that use.

not sure...haven't tried branchs. Just cut some rope and cardboard boxes. Did fine with those.

I am not sure. I have had great success cutting branches as large as my thumb & those about an inch- with ease.
