I need to cut down some thick branches that are practically miniature trees. I've checked out Lowe's and Home Depot, and both are renting chainsaws. Home Depot has a Makita, while Lowe's offers the Huzgavana model. I'm looking for advice on which option might be better or if I should consider another route. Any recommendations?

Have you thought about hiring someone to help? If you're just dealing with branches, there are folks who would do a quick side job for you. Just a heads up, using a chainsaw can be dangerous if you're not careful; you really don't want to mess up your face or feet!
You might want to consider getting a sawzall instead. They’re super handy for cutting branches up to 8 inches in diameter with the right blade. Plus, if you invest in a good cordless model, it typically runs around $150, and you can use the same battery for other tools. It's a versatile addition to any home tool kit!
Yeah, safety gear is a must! I’m using an electric chainsaw lately, but I've had trouble with the chain popping off while working.
