HI Guys,
It is that time of the year again. Sorting out my gear before the fall cutting and splitting season.
Here is my question:
For a small branch here and there, I don't feel it is worth firing up the 346XP and donning all the safety gear. I would much rather cut it by hand.
I have one of those Fiskars orange bow saws ($15 at HD) but halfway through the branch the cut starts to veer left and right and I end up with a crooked cut. Plus the handle is not very comfortable.
I want to upgrade to a better (or the best) handsaw for branches up to 4 inches or so. What do you use or what would you suggest?
I saw some of those curved hand saws at the Woodmen's field days in Boonville, NY (some Japanese brand) and they were around $70. I had never heard of the brand, so I didn't want to experiment and just get it.
Let me know
