Habitat snag making today. Logs to the neighbor's mill tomorrow. Brushed out, big boy pants. I stuck my throw weight/ line at the beginning. Pulling on the line moved this spindly, hollow, remnant forest maple an unnerving amount.
I spiked from the base with a choked climb line and...
How short does it need to become straight asset and not a hazard and asset at the same time? A guy with a spiderlift could manage that as niche work, adding other components like animal boxes, manufactured cavities, etc.
Tell them to get a wildlife guide and binoculars.
I took down a burly maple for a turner yesterday.

It's likely comparable to an 18v drill for 1 handing in a lot of awkward positions.
2 hands, less strain.

No.
There are lots on the market.
I bought a Craftsman larger capacity one from Lowe's for $120 several seasons ago. 1.25" or something.
It's a bit heavy, built on a drill-type body.
2 hands for extended use.
A 3/4" capacity would be nice as a complement.
Clean cuts.
Way faster than...
