The ZUBAT is excellent for over-head fruit tree pruning or when you need to climb up a little bit in the tree. Amazing how fast it cuts. Really like the older one(different sheath) I use.
I bought one for my dad quite a few years back. I told him that I knew that I couldn't stop him from climbing his trees to prune (he was in his 70s), but I could at least minimize the time he spent doing it.
An oak tree fell from the neighbor's yard during the hurricane and smashed the hell out of my Chickasaw plum trees. I had a lot of broken branches to cut off, and I wanted to make sure the cuts were as clean as possible, so I figured it was time to get one for myself. You are right about that saw...it is amazing!
