A while ago someone requested suggestions for power tools because hand-tools
were
too hard to use due to aging joints. I chanced to have an acquaintance
recently
give an unsolicited testimonial for an Echo power pruner, 9' version. This
from a
healthy, strong, stocky 60-year-old.

It's been my observation that people with smaller/finer builds are better off
with
hand-tools, especially because of torque on the upper back from holding power
tools
at arm's length. Believe me, if you ever suffer this, you'll go back to
hand-tools.
