EXPERT KNOWLEDGE PRUNING SAWS WITH TELESCOPIC HANDLE
Which pruning saw to buy? How to find the right telescopic saw!
Important aspects for choosing the right pruning saws with telescopic handle are the saw blade length, the reach of the telescopic handle and the available accessories. The length of the saw blade should be at least twice as large as the diameter of the branches you want to saw through with it. The telescopic poles are usually made of aluminium and can be infinitely extended in three or more sections. Telescopic poles are available in different lengths for some models. Think about what reach you actually need. If you mainly need the Saws for pruning fruit trees, where the trees are usually kept relatively low, a pole with a length of 3 to 4 metres is sufficient. However, if you want to prune taller trees, for example to prevent wind breakage, you will need a working height of 6 metres or more. This also applies if the trees are on a slope or embankment. However, the longer the reach, the greater the weight of the telescopic pole.
Why is the saw blade of a pruning saw curved?
Most telescopic branch saws have a curved saw blade (the shape is also called "curved"). When making cuts above shoulder height, such saw blades are easier to guide than straight ones, as they do not jump out of the saw cut as easily.
Additional functions on Saws with telescopic handle
For the most part, you can easily remove the pruning saw from the telescopic pole and then use it as a normal handsaw. Many saw blades have an additional cutting edge or hook tools with which you can easily cut off thin branches (e.g. water shoots).
Useful accessories for pruning saws with telescopic handle
You can also utilise the reach of the telescopic pole for other tasks with practical accessories. For example, replace the pruning saw with loppers or caterpillar shears to effectively trim thinner branches or cut tall ivy. Saws with telescopes are not only suitable as manual pruners. If you swap the Saws for a fruit picker, you can also easily reach apples and pears on larger east-facing trees from the ground. With a little skill, you can also attach a Hook tools or a broom to the telescopic handle to clean the gutter or remove cobwebs under the gable, for example.
Tools for pruning trees
Fruit trees are cultivated plants. Pruning is necessary to maintain their vitality in the long term. Pruning can be carried out all year round. As the leaves are missing during winter pruning, the structure of the tree is easier to recognise. In order to optimise the yield of stone fruit, some experts recommend pruning when the fruit is full or at harvest.
