High Limb CS-24 Rope-and-Chain Saw with 24-inch Chain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had some dead trees in my yard that threatened to fall over and hit my house every time it got a little windy. Having never used a gas or electric chain saw I was a little hesitant to rent one and cut down the trees. I used this saw to cut down the limbs atop the trees so that if they were to fall they wouldn't come near my house.
The saw was easy to use and made short work of the smaller limbs. The larger limbs took a little more elbow grease but the saw eventually got the job done.
Although I've had no problems with the saw I can see that where the rope meets the chain is fraying just a bit. I suspect that it's due in part to me going a little beyond the limb circumference the saw is deigned for. Replacing the rope seems like it would be relatively easy and inexpensive.

High Limb CS-48 Rope-and-Chain Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this and used it to cut two branches that were about 25 feet high. The first was no problem and I was shocked how easy it was. While cutting the second branch, the chain got jammed in the branch when it was almost cut all the way through. It took me an hour to get it free but I learned the tricks to free it quicker in the future. The instructions say to stand way out to the side so that the branch does not fall on your head, but the problem when you do that is when the branch starts to sag after it is cut about 2/3 of the way through, it pinches down on the part of the chainsaw that is on the bottom half of the branch so you end up with the chain stuck in place with a half cut branch. I learned that it was more effective to cut from under the branch and get out of the way when it falls. Another review said that he used two people and that would probably be the best way to reduce your chances of the chain getting stuck and also to not get hit on the head. The tool has a "flipping" part that causes the chain to flip over to the sharp side going down and this works pretty well after a few tries. I think that this tool works better on thick branches (more than 4 inch diameter). This is because on the larger diameter branches, the chain is not bent at too severe an angle. When you are almost done cutting through the branch, the chain will be bending in a tighter area that I think that caused me trouble on a thinner branch. For larger branches, the branch will snap before you get into such a tight area. Overall, it's not the greatest tool, but pretty cool to deal with those special cases where the pole saw won't reach. You should be aware that the cut will not be very clean at the bottom of the branch in many cases because you are cutting from the top and sides, not the bottom. In any case, I still recommend it since it costs a whole lot less than having a tree guy come to cut one or two unreachable branchs. But only expect to use it sparingly.
