Moveable guard that covers the upper side of the guide bar and gradually opens wider as the saw chain cuts deeper Manual pruning saws are the cheapest, most compact, and (generally) safest to use, but they do require a decent amount of effort to operate. Electric pruning saws do a lot of the work for you, and are typically more efficient if you’ve got a lot of cutting to do—but their power cords or batteries limit portability and running time.

Technical specifications

A good rule of thumb is to choose a blade length that’s at least twice the diameter of the branch you plan on cutting. For example, if you’re cutting a 5-inch diameter branch, go with a 10-inch blade. (This rule doesn’t work as well with electric saws, which, depending on the model, can handle branch diameters up to three quarters of their length.) How We Evaluated

Pole saws are available in both manual and electric versions, offering a much safer alternative to climbing a ladder and craning your arms to get the right angle with a hand tool. They take some practice to get used to, but that extra time investment is likely worth the money you’ll save on professional landscaping.
