Maybe an electric is what you need. These days they are pretty good,
no gas to fool with and they start every time. I use mine for little
jobs and crank up the gas saw if I am getting serious.

I've got one of each, but since getting the electric, the gas one just sits. I do like that Makita!
For serious work I like my Stihl. For little jobs the cordless demolition saw with an aggressive wood blade made for cutting limbs works great.

Skil has a blade called the "Ugly" for pruning. It's great with the
cordless recip saw.

The electric chain saw I have goes on a pole and becomes a palm tree
trimmer. Or any other thing you want to cut about 15 feet up

I have one and it works well. Remington is the brand IIRC.

Yup

Palm branches are easily cut with a pole lopper/trimmer.

Until the tree is 20' high. They are also much harder to cut if they
are even a little bit green.

Yeah sure.
It really depends on what kind of palm you are talking about. Coconut
fronds are 4-6" across at the base. Queen palms are close to that but
you are better off just cutting that tree down.
Sabals can be cut with a lopper, as long as you are going for that
shaggy look buy they usually just break off there naturally.

Queen palms? You should sell them to the state of California. They were
paying up to $15k per queen palm to plant on the approach to the new
section of the Bay Bridge. Stupid!!!

Really? They are a dime a dozen around here. Royal palms are priced in
that range for a VERY large tree.

I had a royal in my front yard with 18' of wood and I couldn't give it
away. I ended up cutting it down.
Here they are priced by the green part of the "trunk". They are
expensive to relocate.
