The best poles are in sections that fit together in a telescoping fashion and have a combination cutter and saw. When using, be aware of the material cut overhead and always wear head and eye protection. Bow Saw A good choice when no obstruction exists. This saw can make quick work of medium and long pruning jobs. Pruning Saw The basic pruning saw can be either straight or curved.
Most gardeners prefer the curved blade that cuts on the draw strokes.
Recommended for medium work too large for a lopper and where the bow saw is restricted by obstruction.
