I have that limb saw and yes it works good on small libs 5 to 6 inch in diameter, it’s not going to cut limbs over 15 inches. Plus you have to bar and chain experience, the chain going get loose quickly and dull in hard wood which means you have to know how to sharpen Rhe chain and keep it tight. The reach has it’s limitations, over 15 feet due to angle of cut and leverage works good on soft wood.

Usually Oaks limbs growing outwards are Hugh. It may work on ends, when the trunk of the limbs get big a chainsaw needed. IMO not something someone should try with no experience in saws or trimming.
