I have to admit I purchased this saw a few years ago and never left a review. Well, I am 60yrs and a female in good shape :)  I use this saw for all the large ornamental grasses once dead and small trees and bushes.  I have even used it to down a few 4-5 inch diameter pine trees.  I LOVE this saw.  I bought a chain saw but am a bit leery to use it.  I could not live without this for cleaning up around the property.  You will not regret purchasing this....
