I know home Depot is a right wing cess pool, however i worked there back in 2007/2008 and I have a LOT of Ridgid tools, and quite a few batteries. Only reason i would shop there these days.
I mostly will be using it to clear fallen debris (almost exclusively cottonwood) from the trail i hike daily with my dog. Usually nothing major, i have been using my Ridgid sawsall but even with my longest blade i have a hard time with some stuff.
I have never used a chainsaw, will i be able to get through stuff with a 12" blade that I cannot with my 12" sawsall blade?
I am using a Milwaukee 12" wood blade, cannot find the specific blade. I did not realize there were pruning blades. I will look into one of them.
In the last 3-4 months there have been 5 limbs large enough I could not drag off the trail.
Chances are that that is a blade designed for kiln dried timber. Cutting green wood or dead wood would require different blades.
yeap, they make specific pruning blades
This fell last night, but it was not in the trail.
