Know before you buy
The variable tooth design ensures consistent cutting performance across the entire curvature of the blade. This allows for a smoother, more efficient stroke regardless of the angle at which you are cutting.
While the saw is optimized for branches up to 2 inches in diameter, the 13-inch blade length allows you to tackle slightly larger material if necessary. However, for consistent heavy-duty work, it is best to stay within the recommended 2-inch range to maintain blade longevity.
The saw is designed to cut on the pull stroke, which requires less physical effort and reduces the risk of the blade buckling. Simply apply light pressure as you pull the saw toward you to let the impulse-hardened teeth do the work.
Yes, the handle features an ergonomic shape covered in a rubber cushion grip. This design is intended to minimize hand fatigue and provide a secure, non-slip hold even when working in damp conditions.
The chrome plating is applied to reduce friction during the cutting process. This helps the blade glide through wood more easily and also provides an extra layer of protection against rust and sap buildup.
The included hard plastic scabbard is designed to hold the saw securely and features a detachable belt loop. It provides a safe way to carry the tool hands-free while moving between different areas of your garden.
