Pruning saws are a vital tool in any garden shed. They are always better than just grabbing any old saw from the tool rack being very compact and custom designed to make a clean cut on living wood.
You can get fixed handled saws and folding saws like this one from Bahco of Sweden.
I like the folding ones best as they can easily slip into your pocket while performing mixed tool pruning.
This 396 folding pruning saw from Bahco is a veery durable and well made garden tool. It is very comfortable in the hand which is important on larger pruning tasks and it also means you will make more accurate cuts if it sits well in the hand and is properly balanced.
The blades are toughened Swedish steel that have been honed to super-sharpness and it also features a strong and clear safety latch that locks it both open and closed.
But thing I like best is the ability to change blades which means you only ever buy one handle and you’ve got a pruning saw for life.
All you need is a Philips head screwdriver and around 30 seconds of time to change it. Replacement blades are available in two variants – one best for green wood, the other for dead wood – and they’re both easy to find.
There are other folding pruning saws on the market from Wolf Garten of Germany and Felco of Switzerland that are also very good but we like this one best.
