Frequently asked questions
What is a pruning saw used for?
A pruning saw is designed for cutting branches too thick for pruning shears or loppers, typically between 4-13 cm in diameter. It’s ideal for tree trimming, orchard work, and removing dead or overgrown wood.
Do FELCO pruning saw blades need sharpening?
No. All FELCO pruning saws feature impulse-hardened blades, which cannot be sharpened. They are designed to stay sharp for a long time and should be replaced once they become dull. Replacement blades are available for every model, ensuring your saw continues to deliver clean, effortless cuts.
What are the best hand saws for cutting trees?
The best hand saws balance sharp, durable blades with ergonomic handles. For general tree pruning, the FELCO 602 is a compact folding option, while the curved FELCO 603 is well suited to larger branches and pruning at height. For heavier tree work, models like the FELCO 630 or 640 provide more cutting power for larger branches.
Can I use a pruning saw for green and dead wood?
Yes. You can use FELCO pruning saws for both green and dead wood. They are suitable for routine pruning as well as cutting away dead, damaged, or overgrown branches.
