I am even trying to one hand less and less as time goes on, but honestly I think that it will always be nessecary at times.

I just wanna query you here Danny, you say you are an exception to the rule? Well tell me, what was the first ever chainsaw you cut with? Brand and Model.

I'd kinda like to know where this is going beforehand, but I'll play along. If you're talking about ever in my life I believe it was a Stihl 019 or simular rear handle small saw when I was about 10 years old, but if you're talking about since I started doing tree work it would be the 200T as my first saw.

Well at the age of 10, you started cutting using two hands on that rear handled saw, now you occasionally cut with one

So indeed there is no exception to the rule here.

Yeah I know I'm being very finecky' , but I had to point that out.

Bottom line, be safe whilst one handing. I know I do and I am.

Well ok, if you say so.

look we all know that we live in a real world where dead lines need 2 be met and people need profit margins ,and kids need to eat as long as you as an individual feel safe in your own work methods ,then what is the problem with eg one handed saws not everyone will climb around live wires as i will not but i now climbers that do to each his own just be safe in your own work methods
