I'll have to check that out.
I have a small double-bit my dad bought me about age 13 and I still prefer it. Unfortunately, the handle is broken and I can't find a replacement in that size.
I'd just as soon cut a tree with an axe or handsaw as a chain saw. My little Japanese Zeta pruning saw is wicked fast.
The hand tools are lower-maintenance, quiet, good exercise, and soothing to the soul to use.
My garage and shed look a little like the place you don't want to go in a horror movie.
