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.
This fell last night, but it was not in the trail.
