Hand shears will not close on it, so you fetch the loppers. The loppers will not reach into the middle of the bush, so you fetch the saw. The saw tears the bark because you cannot get a straight angle on it. Half an hour later the job is done badly and your hand is finished for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:1.05rem;color:#3a4a42;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6rem;\"\u003eThese take that whole sequence and replace it with a trigger.
