Saws and branch cutters

Hacksaws are hand-held pruning saws, ideal for woody or thicker branches, while loppers are two-bladed shears operated manually by two arms, designed to cut medium-to-large branches, up to approximately 30-50 mm in diameter, with the maximum opening width varying depending on the model. The choice between the two tools depends on the diameter and composition of the branch being cut.

• Use: Suitable for cutting thicker, woody branches and wood that cannot be cut with shears.
• Operation: These are hand-held saws with a serrated blade that allows for cutting wood.

• Use: Useful for medium-to-large branches (up to 30-50 mm) and for precise cuts.
• Operation: They work like large scissors, with two blades that slide over each other to cut the branch.

• For thicker, drier branches or those requiring cleaner, more precise cuts, a pruning saw can be used.
• For thinner but still substantial branches, a lopper is the ideal tool for a clean, effortless cut.
