Spend Less Effort Cutting Off Downed Tree Limbs 

When cutting a fallen tree's limbs, it can require using a good amount of arm and shoulder strength at times. But with the right leverage and blade placement (direction), you won't need to squeeze the handles towards one another. Overworking your muscles and suffering for it.
Instead, try these two simple modes of leverage. Just have a non-sticky, somewhat sharp pair of cutting blades available, if you can.
