But my huge eye opener has been my ozito LI battery powered telescopic hedge pruner. I have a shindaiwa 2stroke hedge trimmer, which has been great, but I was sick of lugging it up ladders to prune topiary, and getting headaches from the fumes. I fully intended to buy the ryobi set up, but it was more money for less features and warranty. Geez, the LI battery tech has come a long way, I bought a 4.0AH Battery for it, goes for ages and charges quick. No fumes, headaches or ladders.
I have a good friend that swears by Ozito ..He loves his Ozito gear . Never had the pleasure yet but one day I will . Re , running out of things to cut with the saw ..Yep .

reminds me of a joke .. We have a famous Tassie axeman, David Foster , who won some ridiculous amount of wood chopping world titles in the 1980's , 90's and early 2000's .. He was being interviewed one day about his phenomenal success and he said it was all down to cutting so many trees while training . The reporter then asked him where he did most of his training . His reply

"The Simpson Forest" .. Reporter said "David , don't you mean the Simpson Desert " . His reply ..."Well , It is now ".
