And the winner is…
Stihl GTA 26 – After the winter storm, we had a lot of winter damage to trim, a lot of dead branches on otherwise healthy bushes and trees. I have always used a large ratcheting pruner for small branches, but dead branches do not cut easily with pruners….and the hard work was taking a toll. Enter the Stihl GTA 26. It is a very small chainsaw, that will cut a 3 inch diameter branch like butter. Game changer. I do not work for Stihl, but if you do a lot of gardening, you need this tool. Ours came with two batteries, another must.
