Product Information

Please note that the right to return goods which are not faulty does not apply to any goods which have been made to your own specifications. The saw can also be used without the cage to cut other items like pipes and timber - different blades are used for different materials.

So after saying this is marketing genius it does have a few holes. They are mainly down to how heavy the use, if it’s light work then Bosch is the best option for sure. I don’t want to sound too down on this tool because it really is useful for lighter work! Pros: First off the bat, their demo sums this saw up pretty much spot on. This is the ideal sized branch to be trimming: Also, some have had issues in the past with build quality, this is something they have rectified on newer models as the percentage of unhappy campers has dropped considerably. Straight blade pruning knives are better suited for cutting things anywhere below shoulder height but above the waist because of the angle of the sawing motion in cohesion with where you are standing. Curved bladed saws are better for cutting branches above shoulder height or for low branches below the waist
. Used this to cut branches of large oleanders and bottlebrush. Where it took me 30 minutes to cut one previously with a small pruning saw did several this time in under 2 seconds each. Branches cut were up to 3 inches in diameter and these proved no trouble for the Keo. It is designed to cut branches up to 80mm (3.2 inches). Once the blade (Swiss-made) is in the timber it cuts through it like butter.

You can use your handy saw to help you break down branches after they’ve been cut off the tree. This makes for easy rubble removal. I find it much easier to put up a ladder and use the Keo on high branches than try to use a pole saw, which is too heavy for me and not as accurate. I have been a fan of Bosch for more than 25 years. No appliance or tool came home bearing another brand. I have tools that are 15 years old and still working. However, the recent acquisitions are being very disappointing and the service given in New Zealand does not even qualify as “service”. I called the 0800 number and they advise that there is nothing else they are prepared to do: no alternatives, nothing! Wilkinson Sword have included a holster/sheath with this saw so you can hook it onto the shelf when you’re finished and not worry about injury or damage to the blade. All in all this is top draw equipment and a must have pruning saw for anyone doing a far bit of work or commercially for that matter. This garden saw comes with a 10 year guarantee – an obscenely long guarantee. Mine still has 7 years left and still cuts like new. You could also go with the folder if you want a curved blade. I personally prefer a straight cut. Pros:

That is where a set of loppers and a pruning saw come in handy. Right tool, right job. Helping you to bring your outdoor space to life.Now for some advantages. One of the biggest advantages of using an electric pruning saw over a conventional one is the stroke length. You only need 1 cm clearance in front of the blade as it only pushes forward this far to make its cut. This is a serious advantage in tight spots. In fact, before we get started let’s watch their demo. They show you a scaffold pole being cut through with ease funnily enough as I just mentioned above. I’ve saved you two seconds wasted life starting at the right point to see the cut ability: The most important thing for me is that they emit no petrol fumes, have less noise, less fuss and easier to operate. They are generally lightweight and with modern batteries they are far more efficient and powerful. Making them an all round excellent choice for amateur or professional gardeners. For gardeners who are less able-bodied cordless garden tools are perfect in that they allow you to continue completing garden tasks that you may not be able to achieve by using hand tools. Thereby allowing you to still enjoy the benefits of getting out in your garden and taking care of your plants. Some have had issues pushing too hard and sheering off the blade that’s held in with screws. Guys, once you dull the blade replace it! They give you three blades after all for a reason! You will need replacements at some point. There is no need at all to be forcing this unit. Used correctly it can cut scaffold tube, let alone branches! Also on that note, I’ve heard complaints it cannot cut more than 4 inch branches. That is news to me. Carefully used it’s going to cut 6 inches plus, no question.
