Thread: Silky Saw - Alternatives?

You never even cut the branches down - it forever seems to be me doing the hard yards

Thats because I've learnt the limitations of a Leatherman 2" saw, your still getting there... theres an easier way.

Shouldn't you be educating some students?

Non contacts = work preparation .... or forum browsing!

Found one of the Bahco's folding pruning saws at Mitre 10 today, it came with a free blade.

Will give it a work out this weekend, work/weather pending.



Thanks again.

You will be amazed at what you can do with them. Its hard to stop once you get going

I bought one of the bahco models and keep it in the truck. It's excellent for camp work. Bought because one off-roading we got a branch stuck under the chassis. Good value.

How did you find it rb? Do the trick?

Gave it a good work out this morning, was only going to cut a couple of branches that were in the way, but ended up spending 3-4hrs clearing a lookout/track. I'm very pleased with it.
