That's a big deal, for me, with this dumb surgery and all, i've had to stay away from the saws, till today!!!! I dusted off my splitting block, sat down on the patio, fired up the 193 top handle and cut some wood down to ''wife size''. It was a little awkward using crutches and carrying the saw in the right hand, but, got it to the patio. I had stacked some wood on the patio prior to the foot surgery, so some of it was longer than the wife liked, so i cut it down to her size. So, i'm sitting out on the splitting block side saddle, with my jammies on, and one shoe, kept the wood/ saw away from me and cut a wheelbarrow full. that 193 is a good little saw for just what i used it for, that and dropping small trees/ limbs, etc. Took me all of 15 min i think to do what i did. Sure felt good to use even that saw today, lol.
