While trees are wonderful around any home, and provide many quality-of-life and ecosystem benefits, they do require a little care and attention from time to time. If you only have one or two trees, then you might be able to get by with a hand saw or pruning lopper shears. However, even these can be difficult to use in awkward situations (like when at the top of a ladder) or amid a dense collection of branches. And forget those manual tools if you have a lot of trees to maintain. But I've found the Makita 4-1/2-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw
This saw works very well around the homestead for general sawing/pruning applications. It is light enough that you do not get tired quickly holding it, and it is small enough that you can use it in hard to reach spaces. And it is battery-powered, so you no longer have to deal with those chainsaws that leak oil all over the place.
The saw comes in a convenient carrying case with a battery charger and small bottle of chain oil.
