I remember when Dave first got his 150 and I was watching him deadwood a big pine...I was thinking, "why would I need a smaller saw than a 200t, but you know how your forearms and wrists start hurting after a while when you are dead wooding like he is"? I bought one, and love it! Quiet, light, and maneuverable, and I love how much better I can make nice pruning cuts with it. Only thing I did to mine was open the muffler up, but it works great for trim jobs, and pruning. I am sure that my pain levels will be less when I am an older climber because of this sweet little saw...kind of like rope walking..
That does it, I'm getting one.
