Tree Trimming Tools for Every Job
Gardeners have a variety of pruning tools to choose from, all of which might have a place in your garden shed. From loppers and pruning saws to shears and weeders, here’s what you need to know about these essential garden hand tools:
- Loppers: A lopper has a V-shaped body with long handles that narrow at the head where the scissor blades meet. Available in bypass or anvil designs, loppers are especially useful for cutting twigs or smaller branches and are staples of any garden shed.
- Pruning Saw: A long blade with jagged teeth, pruning saws typically feature a handle for convenient use, and are useful for medium and large branches.
- Hand Pruner: A classic gardening tool, hand pruners allow for cutting stems and small branches.
- Hedge Shears: Also known as hedge trimmers or clippers, these tools have long handles and large, long scissor blades to help with landscape upkeep.
Additionally, you can find a variety of stand-up weed trimmers, herb snips, bow saws, grass shears and other garden cutting tools at Ace for a complete tool shed overhaul.
Anvil vs Bypass Pruners
The main difference between anvil and bypass pruning tools lies in the cutting mechanism of the tools. Bypass loppers and pruners have sharp blades that “pass by” each other as they cut, similar to scissors. They offer a clean and precise cut, perfect for delicate branches and stems.
Anvil pruners have one sharp blade that closes onto an anvil-like surface. They crush more than cut, and are ideal for especially sturdy branches or stems that don’t require clean cuts, much like axes or machetes.
Extension Tree Pruning Tools
Many tree branch cutting tools are designed with extension poles to keep you safely on the ground, though there are occasions you may need to enlist a ladder to reach certain branches. What’s more, many extendable tree pruners feature fiberglass and aluminum construction for lightweight but durable use, allowing you to tackle tough jobs without tiring too quickly. For more power, look for gas and electric pole saws.
Cordless Pruners
In addition to hand tools, battery-powered cordless pruners can also prove to be handy. They may require additional upkeep and greater upfront investment but offer lots of easily portable power to help you finish tough tasks. Look for battery-powered pruners with features like:
- Anti vibration systems to deliver steady and precise cuts.
- Variable speed triggers for greater versatility and control.
- Long run times for minimum interruption in use.
- Visible oil gauge to stay on top of oil levels for optimal operation.
