Hasn’t grown back as well as I thought.

I’m sure the Stihl tool would do it. Before I bought my electric chainsaw I used my neighbours mini chainsaw on a pole and that was good.
One of my neighbours had on gloves and ear defenders and no other PPE. Last job of the day with his chainsaw (when it was getting dark so he was hurrying a bit and he was somewhat tired) was tidying up a couple of trunks he has cut down.
I had seen him earlier that day and when I happened down that way the next morning I was surprised he had not finished, that is until I saw a large brownish patch on the ground.
He had slipped and the chainsaw had run down his leg (his trousers were as much protection as tissue paper) making a long cut which bleed profusely. He spent quite a time in A&E getting it cleaned & stitched up, a couple of days not really able to walk and a few weeks before he was fully recovered.
Chainsaws, and similar motors, are loud so you always need ear defenders, if you are cutting stuff above you bits will fall down, so you really need face/eye protection and protective boots.
Other than ear defenders you will get away w/o the PPE 99 times out of a hundred and that hundredth time you will really wish you had it on.
Indeed it was a chainsaw. The context was a question sayingThat was a chainsaw, wasn't it? Not Pruning saw.

I have a laurel. It's hardy.
