Know before you buy
This saw is designed for a pull-stroke cutting action. This technique requires less physical effort and provides greater control, making it ideal for precision pruning.
The blade is hard-chrome plated, which naturally resists rust and sap buildup. Simply wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth after each use and store it in the included sheath to keep it protected.
While the impulse-hardened teeth are designed for exceptional longevity, the blade is fixed. If the teeth eventually lose their edge, the entire unit is typically replaced rather than the blade alone.
With a 9-inch blade, the #621 is best suited for pruning shrubs and medium-sized tree branches. It is a highly efficient tool for gardeners and arborists, though for very large timber, you may want a longer, dedicated forestry saw.
Yes, the sheath is designed to attach directly to your belt. This ensures the saw is always within reach as you move around the garden or climb through trees.
