I'm curious what people think of his casual use of gaffs? He's used them in several vids for pruning jobs, and in this one he even says he'd climbed the tree years ago and shows its scars.

I actually saw your post on that and it was the reason I checked the head before swinging it. Has the new one been holding up? And yes, I've thought about asking if I could stop by and pick one myself. Its a little out of the way, but I've got a job coming up that's near-ish to them.
