Any recommendations for branch pruning saws? I've started the fall
pruning and it looks like a really big job. Did an oak and a horse
chestnut and really felt like the old rusty Stanley has had it.

Some people are recommending Silky saws as very good, like

Expensive but worth it to me if as good as they say. I have a lot of
3-6" branches to cut. I don't like to use the chain saw for pruning
unless branches are above 8" or so, I don't get a very precise cut with
it.


I use the Wolf multichange pruning saw and when a friend used it he went out
and bought one too. Very sharp and cuts with less effort than expected. You
can, of course, put it on a longer handle for out of the way or high up
branches.
