Switched from hand saws to a Silky Zubat last spring and it cut my limbing time in half on an oak I was cleaning up

I used to fight with a folding saw for years until a buddy let me try his on a big dead branch and I bought one that same week, has anyone else found a specific tool that totally changed how you work in the tree?

Oh man, @veramiller that tip about not twisting the blade is exactly what I needed to hear. I've been wondering why my edge life seems short on the Zubat - do you think there's a specific angle you aim for on the pull to keep it square, or is it more about just being deliberate with the cut?

Ngl, that Zubat is a game changer for sure, but if you're really trying to cut limbing time in half, you gotta make sure you're pulling it straight through the cut and not twisting the blade. I've seen guys snap teeth off that way.
