First, it is a chain, not just big, but very nice for manual operation. Secondly, it is a pruner by subtracting the handle and use the extension tubes. There is also a shoulder strap, important for the relief at full extension. Only I think that the saw relatively difficult is at full extension. It's just a prolonged hand chainsaw. Light, the pure pruners definitely. But something I did not want to. Otherwise, the unit is very solid. But just at renewal the weight, but I already knew! It is a successful design. Still, I wonder if I do not yet buy a pure pruners (due to the lower weight grins).
