Tree Hand Saw—Know the Purpose

Buying a tree saw is not as simple a proposition as just going out and purchasing a saw. You need to decide what your cutting needs are in order to get the best saw for you. Hand saws, for example, come in a variety of different sizes and have different styles of blades.

A fine-toothed saw is perfect for small and delicate cuts that may need to be made, but won’t work for larger cuts as it would simply take too long. Larger teeth, on the other hand, allows for bigger pieces of wood to be cut or for large amounts of wood to be cut more quickly.

Choosing between straight blades and curved blades also makes a difference, as straight blades can provide you with smoother finish cuts and greater control while curved blades are more aggressive allow you to cut more quickly.

No matter what type of tree saw you need, Pinnacle Arborist Supplies can help you to find it. Simply browse the different options available to find the perfect size and type to meet any cutting need.

Tree Saw Options

A tree saw can be used to prune a tree in order to make its branches more shapely, or can be used to cut down trees or remove branches when a tree becomes unhealthy, too large or otherwise problematic. However, there are different tree saws that are well-suited for different purposes and it is important to know what you are buying.

Types of Tree Saws

One option for tree saws is pole pruners. These are aptly named, as they essentially consist of a pole with a pruner atop it. Pole pruners allow you to more easily prune leaves and branches on higher trees without risk to your safety. They have limited utility, however, and cannot be used for other purposes such as taking down trees.  If removing trees is your aim, other options such as a chain saw might be best.

Tree Climbing Gear for Safety Reasons

When you are climbing trees or working in tree cutting, there is a great deal of tree climbing gear necessary to ensure your safety. Some of this gear is designed to help make sure you can climb and remain in the tree without falling. For example, ascenders and descenders help you to get up more easily, as do climbing spurs, while harnesses, climbing saddles, weights and climbing ropes both help you to climb and protect against an unexpected fall.

Other gear protects you when you are working on the tree by making sure your eyes and ears stay safe. For instance, safety glasses can ensure that no wood chips or pieces fly into your eyes as you use a chain saw to trim trees or cut wood, while ear protection can ensure that the sound of the chain saw doesn’t damage your hearing.

No matter the type of tree climbing gear you need, Pinnacle Arborist Supplies can provide it. This January, however, those looking for helmets, eye and ear protection can get quality tree climbing gear at an even better price as a January sale is going on now for these important items.

Tree Climbing Gear Basics: Climbing Rope

When you are looking for tree climbing gear, climbing rope should always be one of the most important tools in your arsenal — whether you are a tower climber, rescue worker, an arborist or a recreational climber. Climbing rope serves a number of useful functions for any climber. For instance, it works in conjunction with other tree climbing gear to help you with ascending, rigging and other climbing activities.

The right climbing rope will depend upon what type of climb you are undertaking and what other tree climbing gear you already have or are using.  For example, a soft, flexible, dynamic rope that is heavier than other types of climbing ropes may be well-suited for tree climbers, while a lighter weight, static rope may be best for rope rescue and tower climbing.  Climbing ropes are available in 3-strand, 12 stand, 6 strand and 24 strand kermantle construction in a wide variety of lengths and colors.

As you look for the right rope for you and your climbing goals, Pinnacle Arborist can help. Their website provides a comprehensive array of climbing rope and other tree climbing gear, and has detailed description to assist you in making an informed choice before you buy.

Caution: make sure you match up the strength of rope with the application you need it for. You don’t want to use a lightweight rope for moving extremely heavy objects. On the other hand, you might not need our heaviest duty rope if you are planning on light usage.
