Hand Saws & Branch Cutters

Branch cutters (also known as loppers) are designed for cutting thick branches, while hand saws are used for various tasks, including cutting wood and pruning. Pruning saws, a type of hand saw, are specifically made for pruning branches, often featuring curved blades and fewer teeth per inch for efficient cutting of live wood. Branch Cutters: Purpose: Cutting thick branches, often up to a few inches in diameter. Design: Typically have long handles for leverage, a cutting blade with a sharp edge, and sometimes a lever mechanism to assist in cutting. Types: Include handheld pruners (secateurs), loppers, and pole loppers. Pruning Saws: Purpose: Pruning branches and other outdoor applications. Design: Often have a medium-long, curved blade with fewer teeth per inch (TPI) for efficient cutting of green wood. Types: Include folding pruning saws, curved blade saws, and straight-bladed saws. Advantages: Good for cutting thicker branches than pruning shears can handle, and often fold for compact storage. Hand Saws (General): Purpose: Woodworking, carpentry, and general cutting tasks. Design: Various types, including tenon saws, miter saws, and jab saws, each with different blade lengths and tooth patterns for specific tasks. Advantages: Versatile for a wide range of cutting needs. Considerations: Different TPI and tooth sizes affect the smoothness and speed of the cut.
