Product Information

You don’t need to force this cutter, it’ll do the work nice and gently for you. Sure lean into the cut a little, but make yourself comfortable as it’ll take a little while to get through larger branches and certainly beats hand operation all day long. Pros: That is where a set of loppers and a pruning saw come in handy. Right tool, right job. Helping you to bring your outdoor space to life. The lithium ion battery is integrated, and it has no memory which means that it retains its charge when not in use. Making it ready for use at any time.

The best electric pruning saw is one that not only offers cordless manageability without compromising on power, but also offers you capabilities beyond just your garden.Cordless tools are safer in regard to having no trailing cables and can be used in less accessible areas of the garden. The 8 inch saw blade has 9 teeth per inch and does a great job of slicing through branches thanks to the Japanese style ‘cut on pull’ designed to reduce friction.
the handles worth a mention too. The feel is nice and you can expect to hold on reasonably well. However, theres no chance of me using a pruning saw without gloves as per their demo image. Cordless garden tools ensure effortless garden maintenance, and they ensure a good, clean cut which is what is required so as not to damage the remaining branch which can in turn cause disease. Wilkinson Sword have included a holster/sheath with this saw so you can hook it onto the shelf when you’re finished and not worry about injury or damage to the blade. All in all this is top draw equipment and a must have pruning saw for anyone doing a far bit of work or commercially for that matter. This garden saw comes with a 10 year guarantee – an obscenely long guarantee. Mine still has 7 years left and still cuts like new. You could also go with the folder if you want a curved blade. I personally prefer a straight cut. Pros: Some have had issues pushing too hard and sheering off the blade that’s held in with screws. Guys, once you dull the blade replace it! They give you three blades after all for a reason! You will need replacements at some point. There is no need at all to be forcing this unit. Used correctly it can cut scaffold tube, let alone branches! Also on that note, I’ve heard complaints it cannot cut more than 4 inch branches. That is news to me. Carefully used it’s going to cut 6 inches plus, no question.

The most important thing for me is that they emit no petrol fumes, have less noise, less fuss and easier to operate. Well made, perfect for small branches, big help when you've had enough of the hand saw especially as you can cut at odd angles where positioning the handsaw is impractical or impossible.The Bosch Keo cordless pruning saw and tree trimmer is lightweight and ergonomic making it easy to use and manoeuvre.

Not everyone can afford, or wants to spend a lot of money on a silky pruning saw or something similar. Thankfully for lower end money you can actually have the best. This blade is coarse and an absolute ripper. You need a bit of force to make this thing move, but once you do, you won’t be disappointed. Being triple ground you need some force to cut – this is why some may snag as they cut. The blade is hard, very sharp, and resistant to rust. Don’t worry though, further on in the review I talk through some finer cut blades that are super easy to use. Used this to cut branches of large oleanders and bottlebrush. Where it took me 30 minutes to cut one previously with a small pruning saw did several this time in under 2 seconds each. Branches cut were up to 3 inches in diameter and these proved no trouble for the Keo. It is designed to cut branches up to 80mm (3.2 inches). Once the blade (Swiss-made) is in the timber it cuts through it like butter.

The blade is held into the TPR handle by metal rivets and the connection is strong and sturdy. Just in case you just wen’t “what on Earth is TPR” I should explain its ThermoPlastic Rubber and absolutely the best material to avoid slips with the grooves helping add friction. Like I saw, slip on this handle and it’ll be a serious injury, so at a minimum you want to wear leather gloves. Sorry for repeating myself but it is a serious thing. It highlights which products I think are the best cordless pruning saws and tree trimmers at the best prices. I find it much easier to put up a ladder and use the Keo on high branches than try to use a pole saw, which is too heavy for me and not as accurate.Before I go to far on the review, lets take a look at how this cuts and we can discuss the nitty gritty after. Sorry I had to fast forward this guys video a whole 5 minutes to saved wasted time: Straight blade pruning knives are better suited for cutting things anywhere below shoulder height but above the waist because of the angle of the sawing motion in cohesion with where you are standing. Curved bladed saws are better for cutting branches above shoulder height or for low branches below the waist
