For professional arborists, as well as homeowners interested in owning quality equipment, there is a wide range of cutting and pruning tools to choose from. Though there are many brands on the market, there are a few which stand out in terms of quality and value. In manual clippers, saws, and pruners, Corona is one of the most trusted brands. For power pole pruners and chainsaws, Stihl and Echo are considered top brands.
Clippers and Hand Saws
One of the best brands for professional quality clippers and saws is Corona. This brand has been around since the 1920s, and can be relied upon for quality tree care equipment. They offer a variety of anvil, ratchet, and bypass loppers, as well as hand-size pruners. Corona has a line of folding saws, raker saws, and pruning saws as well.
Pole Pruners
Pole pruners make it possible to trim previously inaccessible limbs from the ground. Motor-powered pruners function much like a chainsaw, but can be used to reach high limbs without the danger of climbing. Manual pruners are best for trimming smaller, higher branches. Some manual pole pruners can be bought with a pruning saw attachment, or vice-versa, to increase their versatility.
Stihl makes some of the best pole pruning equipment on the market. Stihl pole pruners are carefully balanced for easy use and crafted for smooth cutting. The gasoline-powered pruners feature efficient, low-emission engines that run clean and save you money in fuel. Their manual pruners are also crafted for precision, and can cut limbs up to eighteen feet above the ground. As this review shows, Stihl quality is appreciated by homeowners as well as professional arborists.
Corona also offers a line of high-quality manual pole pruners, as well as long-reach pruners that are short enough to use at ground level as well as on some higher branches. Their tree pruners range in length from 10 to 14 feet.
Chainsaws
For larger cutting work, a chainsaw will be needed. According to Consumer Reports buying guide, the top chainsaw brands include Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Homelite. In this guide, the brands are discussed in terms of safety, quality, and the features included with different models.
