Whether you need to manage shrubs or remove small tree limbs, a good pruning chainsaw is handy to have around. Generally speaking, they make quick work of small tasks, and they’re easy to use. Moreover, they lack the intimidation factor that usually comes along with bigger, more powerful models. And, considering that battery power dominates the pruning chainsaw landscape, we think that you should know about the 6-inch Kobalt KMCS 1024A-03.
