Frequently asked questions
What is a pruning saw used for?
A pruning saw is designed for cutting branches too thick for pruning shears or loppers, typically between 1.5 and 5 inches in diameter. It’s ideal for tree trimming, orchard work, and removing dead or overgrown wood.
What are the best hand saws for cutting trees?
The best hand saws balance sharp, durable blades with ergonomic handles. FELCO’s arborist hand saws and folding pruning saws are designed to handle tough tree branches efficiently while ensuring comfort and safety.
Do FELCO pruning saw blades need sharpening?
No. All FELCO pruning saws feature impulse-hardened blades, which cannot be sharpened. They are designed to stay sharp for a long time and should be replaced once they become dull. Replacement blades are available for every model, ensuring your saw continues to deliver clean, effortless cuts.
Pull saw vs. push saw: Which is better?
Pull saws cut on the backward stroke, offering greater control and cleaner cuts, especially in tight spaces. Push saws cut on the forward stroke but can be harder to control. Many arborists and gardeners prefer pull saws for precision and reduced effort.
