Pruning saws are hand saws for branch cutting. Fixed handheld and folding versions are available; choose the form for the work and storage requirements.
Green or dry wood
- Pruning-saw ranges include blades intended for green branches and versions for hard or dry wood. Check the selected blade rather than assuming all pruning saws suit both.
Blade options
- Hardpoint and fileable-tooth pruning saws are distinct options. Do not assume that every pruning blade can be resharpened.
Replacement parts
- Replacement pruning-saw blades are listed for particular saw families. Verify the exact replacement compatibility before purchasing a blade.
Scope and safety
- When using a generic pruning saw, wear eye protection and protect the saw teeth when storing the tool. This selection overview does not provide instructions for tree‑felling, ladder‑work, or overhead branch removal.
