a specialized saw with a sharp-toothed blade designed for trimming and cutting branches or limbs from trees or shrubs
A pruning saw is a type of hand saw specifically designed for trimming and cutting branches or limbs of trees and shrubs. It has a curved, serrated blade that allows for more efficient cutting through wood. The teeth are typically larger and more spaced apart than those on a regular saw, making it ideal for cutting through thicker branches. Pruning saws are often used by gardeners, landscapers, and arborists for maintaining trees and shrubs. They come in various sizes and shapes, with some featuring a curved blade for better maneuverability in tight spaces.
