One of the best parts of this is that a cord won’t limit you while you operate this machine.

The blade measures twenty inches long and is made out of pre-hardened, machined steel. This helps it supply over twenty four hundred strokes a minute and can cut branches up to seven sixteenths of an inch. Made with a durable plastic body, you can feel safe knowing that this thing isn’t going out for the count anytime soon.
