I bought my first home last year. I have 3/4 acre and > 50 trees. I grew up in a townhome with a very tiny yard, so pretty much all the yardwork at my new home was new to me. I bought a push broom to clean off my driveway and patio. It took about five minutes to realize I was wasting my time and needed to buy a leaf blower. I also bought a chainsaw even though I had never used one nor punished myself by trying to use an axe to take down and cut up a tree. It was obvious that the chainsaw was the right tool, even if it is more complicated, is more expensive, and requires more upkeep than an axe.
