Precautions When Using A Pruning Saw
There are a few precautions you need to take when using a pruning saw
- Use protective gear including gloves and eye protection.
- Before starting the cut, make sure there are no nails or screws in the wood.
- Make sure the blade is sharp before starting the cut. If there is any rust, clean it using steel wool or sandpaper. Apply oil on the blade.
- When you start, make a groove in the wood. So once you start cutting, the blade does not shift.
- When cutting, let the blade do the work. Don’t apply a lot of pressure on the saw.
- After the cutting is done, put the blade in the protective scabbard. Keep it in a safe place away from children.
Cutting A Branch With A Pruning Saw
- To cut a branch using the pruning saw, you’ll need to use the three-cut method to avoid damaging the tree.
- First, make a cut underneath the branch about a foot from the base of the branch. Stop when the pruning saw cuts 1/3rd into the branch.
- Second make a cut at the top of the branch about 1 or two inches further from the first cut. This cut makes the branch fall off without ripping the bark and damaging the tree.
- Third make the final cut through the branch where you want to prune the branch.

Wicked little sawThis is idle for anybody to use from all ages.Easy set up and easy to change blade, my only issue is with the strength of the blades. Could be thicker

make sure the driver gets the right address in futureThe pruning saw is amazing, the only gripe I would have is that the item was delivered to the wrong address, I’m so glad the neighbour’s are of good stock and honest.

Great little sawThis is a great little saw. Comes with 3 blades and a belt pouch. I would give it 5 stars if it didn’t unlock itself occasionaly whilst sawing. The trick is not to let your fingers slide up the handle too close to the locking button.

PerfectI got this to trim the bottom of my doors when I had a carpet fitted recently.So much easier to control when keeping in line with your door markings.I have problems with my hands so this was much easier to use.I would most definitely recommend.

Pruning saw for small branches of trees.I use them for shaping and pruning young tree branches, particularly when they are overhanging a path or looming uneven.

GoodHandy to have when camping and with the other saw blades everything is covered, also fit’s well in the pouch for easy storage.

Excellent at the price pointVery good, seems durable, extra blades a bonus. Never thought I’d use the metal blade but after sawing through a metal fence, I can confirm it works well! Just remember to let the blade do the work, no real pressure needed.EDIT- (Dec 2022) I have now used the metal blade twice, having to saw through a seized padlock on a suitcase; the blade made very light work of it. Recommended item, and I would buy another (should I need to) without hesitation.

Safe while travellingHandy to keep in my car as I visit many farms and cut small branches from fallen trees for my cabin stove.Care when opening and closing due to extremely sharp teeth.A longer blade would suit me.

Great bit of kitCuts like butter through, upto 6 inch logs, not used on much thicker yet, . Not used other blades yet. But very happy,Great bit of kit out in the woodsOr just foraging for garden firewood, o, if you’re into pruning, would be great for that also.

Better then expectedThis is far better than I expected and the quality feels excellent, was expected to feel cheap and flimsy… but feels expensive, packs small but it’s a pretty decent size when undone.
