I bought this a couple of years ago it's pretty decent. I've used it about ten times, only difference I noticed between this and some more expensive ones is the noise I guess.

Can i use this to cut small tree branches occasionally? Branches which are thicker to manage using hedge trimmer.

You could, but you probably shouldn't...

You could, but it is the wrong tool to use. It would be like trying to hammer nails with a rubber mallet.

I'm not sure what you consider small but I'm sure there's a lawn and garden tool that would work a lot better.

Not a deal. The black and decker version is always available at this price point.

I have one of these and it's definitely a jig saw. Not sure what else to say.
