Our take
A 30cm top-handle saw for arborists – light, compact and balanced for one-handed use in the tree, which is exactly what a top-handle design is for. 20m/s chain speed and a 150ml oil tank. This is a professional tool and should only be used by trained climbers; for ground work choose a rear-handle saw.
