Pruning Saws

Discover our range of pruning saws from Bahco, Fiskars, Faithfull, Kent & Stowe and Roughneck, covering folding, fixed blade and pole pruning saws for branches too thick for secateurs or loppers.

A pruning saw uses fine, aggressive teeth designed to cut cleanly through green wood without clogging, unlike a standard carpentry saw. Choosing the right one comes down to blade length, whether it folds away for safe storage, and how far you need to reach.

Pruning Saws – Product list

Folding pruning saws for everyday use

Folding pruning saws close the blade into the handle when not in use, making them safe to carry in a pocket or tool belt. The range spans compact options like the Faithfull Countryman Folding Pruning Saw 175mm up to larger blades such as the Bahco PG-72 and the well-known Bahco Laplander 396-LAP, a widely trusted design among gardeners and arborists for its aggressive cut and reliable locking mechanism.

Fixed blade saws for demanding cuts

Fixed blade pruning saws, such as the Fiskars SW84 and Bahco 385-6T, give a rigid, non-folding blade for repeated heavy cutting, common in more demanding pruning tasks where a folding mechanism would add unnecessary flex.

Pole and hand/pole pruning saws

The Bahco 339-6T Hand/Pole Pruning Saw attaches to an extension pole, letting you reach higher branches without a ladder, while also working as a standard hand saw when detached. This dual function makes it a practical choice for anyone pruning trees at varying heights.

Blade length and tooth pattern

Shorter blades, around 160-190mm, suit detail work and smaller branches with more control in tight spaces. Longer blades, from 300mm up to 405mm on the Bahco 5124-JS-H Professional Pruning Saw, cut faster through thicker branches with fewer strokes, at the cost of manoeuvrability in confined spaces.

Replacement blades

Rather than replacing a whole saw once the blade dulls, several models in this range take a replacement blade, including the Bahco 396-JT Replacement Blade and Roughneck Replacement Blade for the Gorilla Fast Cut Pruning Saw, extending the working life of the saw body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once a branch exceeds a lopper's stated cutting capacity, typically beyond 40-50mm depending on the model, a pruning saw becomes the safer and more effective tool, cutting cleanly through thicker wood without straining a lopper's blade.
A pruning saw has fine, aggressive teeth specifically designed to cut cleanly through green, living wood without the blade clogging with sap and sawdust, unlike a standard carpentry saw built for dry timber.
Folding the blade into the handle makes the saw safe to carry in a pocket or tool belt without exposing the teeth, useful for gardeners who need the saw on hand throughout the day rather than left in a shed or van.
A hand/pole pruning saw attaches to an extension pole for reaching higher branches without a ladder, while also detaching to work as a standard hand saw, making it a versatile choice if you regularly prune trees at different heights.
Some models, particularly from Bahco and Roughneck, offer separately sold replacement blades, letting you keep the same saw handle in use once the original blade dulls rather than replacing the entire tool.
