Pruning Saws
Some styles look like miniature logging saws, while the standard is a curved blade saw. Variations on these styles include the pole saw (on a long pole for reaching high or inaccessible branches) and a bow saw for faster, smaller cuts than the standard saw.

About Pruning Tools for Trees
Bypass hand pruners work like scissors, having a sharpened cutting blade that slides past a lower hooked blade. They feature larger blades and longer handles than hand pruners, offering more leverage for cutting branches up to 3 inches in diameter.

Hand Tools For Pruning
Pruning, trimming or cutting a plant involves removing some of its stems, branches or limbs. Pruning shears are among the most used tools around the yard--for trimming shrubs, vines and flowers, and for pruning small growth on trees.

Important Safety Features
To reduce the incidence of serious chainsaw accidents, manufacturers have added some significant safety features. Chain brake: A chain brake is designed to stop chain movement if kickback occurs. Typically, the chain brake activates when the chain brake lever is bumped by the operator’s hand when it is jarred by the kickback of the tip of the chain when it fails to bite into the intended piece of wood or binds and bounces off its surface.

Eye Protection
In addition to champagne corks turned missile projectiles and badly caught softballs, eye injury occurs most often from activity around the home. The most common style of safety glasses, or eye protectors, consists of clear plastic over-sized glasses with side and top panels.
