Selecting a Pruning Saw
Arborist hand saws are designed to cut quickly in live or dead wood on the pull-stroke, and the most common pruning saws are curved for increased cutting power. Tree trimmers are using larger hand saws for pruning even medium-sized limbs. The newest hand saw for trees are fast and aggressive, and can more convenient than starting the chainsaw.
Our most popular pruning saw size is 13” / 330mm - large enough for most daily tree pruning tasks, without being unwieldy in confined spaces.

A folding hand saw lets you take cutting power anywhere. From the minuscule Pocketboy which can easily fit in your pocket, to the chainsaw-replacing Katanaboy, there is a folding hand saw with the right teeth and size for the job.
