I've got a lot of high up oal limbs to cut of trunks and want to get either a Stihl or like limb pruner or a cheapo electric chainsaw pruner from Home Depot. The Stihl will run at least $500 whereas the H.D. electric will run $100. The H.D electic, and some Stihl-likes don't have a bar that can be put at an angle from the pole (aids in keeping the saw up on the lime I guess). This is a front-of-house job on about 10 big oaks and a couple of sweetgums. Some of the limbs are probably 5 inches at the base.
Anyway, anybody use either of the above. Please comment on the bar angle necessity.
