My boss made me try a $40 Japanese pruning saw on a big maple removal.
I thought it was just a gimmick for small jobs. But that thing cut through a 10 inch limb like butter. Way faster than my usual bow saw. Now I keep it on my belt all day. Anyone else switch to a specific hand saw that surprised them?

Sounds like a good way to lose a finger when that fancy little saw kicks back on a real cut. My old bow saw might be slower, but it's predictable and tough as nails. Spending forty bucks on a saw that'll probably snap the first time it pinches seems like a waste. Some new tools are just solutions looking for a problem.

Lose a finger" is a bit dramatic, John. I mean, it's a saw, not a chainsaw. Maybe just don't use it to cut down a tree?
