I want to cut small trees and rose plant stumps in my small backyard, am confused whether I should get a hatchet, felling, cutting or chopping ax

I like this axe s lot. I can chop wood or small trees with it and it has the weight and feel you'll like. I also can choke down on the shaft and swing it like a hatchet. Well worth the money. You won't be disappointed.

If you are not cutting anything to big, 1 to 1.5 in dia or smaller, you might be better off with a good set of loppers. It will work better and be less dangerous.

I've cut bushes and small trees off close to the ground. It is awkward because of the length and balance of the saw handle/battery. You have to be very careful not to allow the saw blade to become contaminated with dirt and debris. You could use a regular pruning saw or for branches up to approximately 1¾" I've great success with a Fiskars PowerGear ByPass Lopper. If you can get the jaws around the branch/tree, it'll cut it.

not really sure how to answer this one... I'm guess that the serrated part of the blade would cut branches, but you may be there a while. you might want to invest in a folding tree saw if you need to cut branches down

I found it too slow for what I want to cut, which is very small branches and thick vines. I bought a machete and it does a better and quickerjob, but if you are looking for a smoother finish, then you may have to use a saw. I think Sears has a cordless circular saw, which would probably be much better. I hate to buy anything from Sears as they have become a bunch of rip off artists, but............

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.

This is the trimmer for you. I was able to trim hedges and small branches that were in the way with very little effort. I believe the trimmer is light weight and can go through an azalea brush as easily as expected.

Absolutely, it's just a mini chainsaw on a pole so whatever you can reach you can cut. I have personally found it a very useful tool for general trimming around the house !

For use at home a hatchet would be the better option, but if you are using it in the woods for camping this tomahawk is ideal. I am very pleased with this product on the whole.

That's exactly what I bought it for, and I cut it into several pieces as my trees are small. However you will need supports to hold it away from the branches, as it weighs them down a bit since it is densely woven and therefore heavy for tender branches to support.

Yes, I cut mine to line the inside of 5 gal buckets to plant trees in. A regular pair of household scissors will work fine.

The woodzig is the long blade used to cut/saw the branches. Everything you need comes in the package. There are no other attachments needed.

I'd stick to hardwoods, hickory preferred. You aren't going to get much better than the handle on it. As far as shortening it,I wouldn't see a problem just cut it with as fine tooth of saw blade as possible to avoid splitting.

I'm not familiar with arborvitae, but from pictures, they look like evergreens which tend to be softer than the oaks I've trimmed. If the part of your tree you are trying to top has a fairly rigid trunk, the saw should work. If the trunk sways easily, but is relatively heavy, you might be able to use the sway to help cut (with some practice). If the trunk is lightweight or you need to trim small branches, you probably need a pruner attachment.

I've cut pine saplings the size of my thumb and trimmed back overhanging rhododendron branches. It should do fine. As with a previous answer, a lopper would do better for anything over an inch.

I have this and the Felco F310. For general work I prefer the F310. I am in my 60's and have a smaller hand. I can go for a few hours with the smaller one. I use the F-6 for thicker rose canes and heavier branches. The Felco's are the best pruners I have ever used.

Its not a chopping axe its a hatchet. Hatchets are best suited to remove smaller dead branches and for splitting kinding. You can however use the hatchet with a hand sized log as a hammer to split larger pieces of wood. Search how to use a hatchet or hand axe on skill training on youtube to learn more.

I personally used this saw for cutting large tree branches, 2 x 4's, pallets etc. It isn't real fast, so it's not for someone who's a serious builder. It's for little jobs around the house that you would use a hand saw for. It is better than using a hand saw for me, because it does the work.
