Can it handle several thin branches at a time if they're close enough together? Again, to chop a pile of long skinny branches into bagging size.

Yes the pruner can handle all the branches that you are able to clamp onto.

I had no problem cutting small branches in groups. I trimmed the old wood out of Rose of Sharon and Lilac bushes. I was able to cut them in short enough lengths to use in a brush pile for rabbits to use as shelter for winter.

I doubt it. It cuts wood branches nicely up to 1 inch but struggles beyond that.

I don't see why not. I had a lot of piles of branches and twigs from all different types of trees and as long as 8 feet and up to 1" in diameter piled up at the back of my lot and when I bought this chipper, I spent about an hour and chipped everything up without any problems.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

The branches on my shrub are about 1/4 to 1/3 inch in diameter, which it cuts with no problem. It will certainly cut larger branches, but not with the same efficiency or ease.

Yes, you could use it for it but only if the blades of the pruning shears are as thin as a chef's knife.

Yes. I have used it for leaves, small twigs and branches. I have run branches up to about 3/4 of an inch. It is very easy to clear if it clogs.

I don't think so, did try to get a small tree trunk flush to the ground and ended up bending the blade. Was too bulky for me to handle at that angle. Others may have better info..

I have never done that. I think this was intended for lesser functions, like cutting smaller branches for fire wood. I would imagine you would need something bigger, but if time is not a factor, go for it.

Yes I have picked and mulched very small branches. I have not picked up heavier debris with it.

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.

It can handle small twigs, but it was frustratingly slow and the slot is small, so if you are impatient and feed it faster it will clog, and will need to be cleared. I was attempting to mulch tomato and the length was about 18 inches and it continually stopped (won't pull through on it's own - needs to be pushed in with insert).

I think so. I havent tried that but so long as it isnt a large dense branch it should work.

According to the specs it should, depending if you have any other objects in the way i.e., lots of trees.

I have not tried cutting anything that thick yet, but I think they may be able to handle it. I am sure it can handle 1 inch thick branches.

I would trust it for most smaller chopping, probably up to soothing as thick as a Campbell's soup can. It would take effort because the knife is so light but it is sturdy enough. As for small branches and saplings if you went at a angle to the tree you could probably pull it through anything smaller than your middle finger. There are some great examples on YouTube of this knife in action, equipped to endure does a really through review.

Technically it probably could since it can do some cutting tasks but I would not recommend it. There are other tools much better suited to that job - like a coping saw.
