Triple-ground teeth and an 8-inch blade make this saw ideal for efficiently powering through pruning projects, and this model is capable of cutting through branches up to 4 inches in diameter.

Chrome plating cuts down on friction while cutting, and in conjunction with this model’s ergonomic handle, makes for a comfortable and effective cutting experience. The 9.7-ounce weight makes it easy to carry around while you work, and a handy cutout in the handle allows you to use a string to hang it from a nail or peg in your workshop when you’re done.

Key Specs

• Blade Length: 6 inches
• Style: Electric
• Power: Corded electricity
• Max Cutting Diameter: 4 inches

If you’re looking for more power than a manual saw can provide, this corded electric option from Black+Decker could be a great fit. Its unique clamping jaws do most of the work for you, unlike typical chainsaws that require the user to apply pressure as they cut.

The corded power supply makes saw this a bit less portable than manual options, but if your pruning projects are close by, it shouldn’t be much of an issue. As with any power saw, please be sure to carefully review the safety instructions before starting it up.
