Folding pruning saw
Compact saw with foldable blade designed for cutting branches 1-4 inches thick—the size range where hand pruners fail but full saws are overkill. Handles woody invasives and reaches fruit-bearing branches on urban trees.
What to look for
- 18-10 inch blade length for balance of reach and portability
- 2Curved blade design that cuts on pull stroke (less effort)
- 3Secure locking mechanism when both open and closed
- 4Comfortable non-slip grip for extended use
Skip
- Straight blades that require more force and tire you faster
- Flimsy locks that could collapse on your fingers
Used for: removing invasive woody shrubs · harvesting elderberry and mulberry branches · cutting thick stems cleanly without crushing · reaching elevated urban fruit tree branches
