One-Handled Branch Cutter
He bolted a curved metal tube onto a 12 by 20-in. metal base, and attached a 28-in. long branch cutter to the top by drilling holes through the handle. The corners of the base are bent down at a 90 degree angle so they bite into the ground and won’t slip.
To operate, stand with one foot holding down the base. Then hold the branch in one hand and chop it with the other hand, and throw the branch right into the chipper.
“The big advantage is that instead of squeezing the handles together you’re pushing down on just one handle, which requires less mechanical leverage,” notes Jacobson.
Sells for $145 plus S&H.
