Yeah, it's a brute. But my most used blades have tended to run to the smaller end, the 311, Muppy and Scrapmax. But I have used the larger ones (The BWM) to limb offshoots on branches. I SHOULD have used the BWM yesterday when I cut down the Widder Womans tree limbs. Would have been a lot easier than the chainsaw. They were about half broken off to start with so it wouldn't have been all that much chopping. The branches were about 4 inches thick.
