Make light work of pruning and cutting firewood with a cordless battery-powered mini chainsaw
If you’re embarking on a big pruning
job, a mini chainsaw might be just what you need. A small battery-powered saw, it will take the hard work out of cutting trees, shrubs and firewood, and is also ideal for gardeners with limited mobility or strength.
Mini chainsaws bridge the gap between manual loppers and full-size chainsaws, and thanks to their lithium-ion batteries, there’s no need to deal with the noise, weight or maintenance of a petrol engine. They’re not designed for heavy-duty work because they are meant to be lightweight and easy to handle, but they will help you prune and chop firewood without breaking a sweat. Some can also be combined with long-reach extension poles to cut high branches with ease. While they won’t take the place of a full-size chainsaw, they’re handy pieces of kit if you want to keep your garden looking tidy.
