Claw Like Tree Trimming Tool

This tool worked like a charm to take a lot of tree branches that were overhanging and endangering the entrance to a house. It felt like something out a sci-fi movie. I haven't had a need for such a tool many times, but at the job site where it was available it was fun. I'd prefer to use it mostly on dead trees, or on already cut of the tree branches. I've been trained to make best efforts to get the cleanest cuts possible from the tree with sterilized tools to ensure better healing and prevent infection. Sometimes landscapers forget that cutting any part off a living organism can expose it to infection. A tool like this was great to chew up the already clean cut branches into small enough pieces to be jumped on and stuffed in the green waste recycling bin.
