This is a tool I use when cutting shooting lanes and such that's real handy. I don't know if any of you use one when getting an area ready but I consider this trimming tool a must have.
It has a fold out saw on the end you can remove if you want. It also has a limb snipper that will snip a limb about 1.5" in diameter. The limb snip is operated by pulling a string. The string closes the pinching jaw via leverage cam. Mine is on a retractable pole that extends to about 16 feet or so.
I never see anyone mention these things for making shooting lanes and such so I figured I'd pass it on.
Take Care,
Scott
