Dewalt 20V sawzall with 12" pruning blade - chainsaw lite

[willnicks]

I recently tried out a Dewalt sawzall and a 12" pruning blade on some 4ish"-9ish" partially burnt logs someone left by a campfire spot. Someone's typical drunken buffoonary.

The tool did really well. Not chainsaw fast, but not achingly slow. The smaller soft pine sections were about 10-15 seconds each. The big ones were harder wood and took 1-2 minutes per cut.



And it cut like butter on some small dead branches extending across a trail. Great space saving tool when a chainsaw is overkill. Safer too.

I take mine with me all the time. I have chainsaws but I’d say 95% the stuff I cut the sawzall does just fine

Great idea, actually!!! Much quieter than an axe, for sure.

The Diablo 12 in. carbide pruning blades work very well and last longer than most I've tried and Home Depot has them for $12

Might have to pick me up one of those 12" Diablo blades for my 18v Sawzall that won't die!

I use this as well and it works great!
