Had to choose between using a handsaw or chainsaw for a tight prune job in a backyard yesterday
Picked the handsaw because of all the low wires and bird feeders but it took twice as long as I figured, has anyone dealt with that situation and found a better approach?

Wait wait wait, are you seriously trying to tell me that fumbling around with a handsaw for twice as long is actually faster than just using a chainsaw? Ive got to disagree with that logic completely. Youre talking about gas and choke setup like its some huge ordeal that takes a whole afternoon, not like two minutes of your life. Plus with a handsaw you have to stop every ten seconds to shake out your arm and check youre not cutting into something you shouldnt, so that "saved time" argument just doesnt hold water for me.

Hold on, I gotta push back on that. You say it "took twice as long" but I bet that handsaw actually saved you TIME in the long run. With all those low wires and bird feeders nearby, you would have spent half your time carefully maneuvering that chainsaw around, stopping every two seconds to check for a wire. Plus you skipped the whole setup of gassing it and messing with a choke. So really, you probably came out ahead on total time.
