New Pruning Equipment For Your Trees

By Robert Olson


Gardening can involve lots of pruning. Instead of just grabbing whatever remotely appropriate tool it helps to know, as well to own, the right tool. It is worth buying good pruning tools, even for the casual gardener, and certainly for the serious one. Here are the main Pruning Equipment I use.

Planning on doing some maintenance to your yard? Make sure that you have a plan as well as all of the right tools to achieve the results you would like. Equipment will differ depending on whether you're landscaping, pruning, climbing, or transporting. Here is close to everything you need to know about tree surgery equipment:

Hand pruners - these have short handles and curved blade and are my workhorses, They give a very clean cut and are unlikely to crush below the cut. I have a couple of pairs of these as I use them so much. Loppers - these are very similar to hand pruners except they have much longer handles and give more leverage and cutting power for when you are cutting something thicker. Mine have wooden handles.

Recently, a number of useful, innovative trimming tools have come on the market for the homeowner. Here are a few listing their advantages: Rope Saws make it much easier, more convenient, and safer to cut high tree limbs. You simply toss the weight over the selected limb, pull down on the ropes while you keep standing on the ground enabling you to reach the area that needs trimming without climbing or using a ladder.

They main thing to remember about garden equipment is we may want it, but we don't always need it. As gardeners, if we have the basic gardening tools, we should be able to make do just fine. Even though we may be tempted to rush out and purchase the newest and greatest revolutions to the gardening world, however, it is not necessary to make these purchases in order to make your garden look great. In most cases, improvisation does work.

You can clean your pruners with oil or a distillate product like WD-40, but you'll use a lot of labor to remove the dirt because the dirt is water soluble and you'll be removing the dirt with a fluid that won't loosen water soluble dirt. You can use abrasion, such as steel wool, to remove the dirt but unless you're careful you'll damage the tool's cutting edges.

A product called EZ-Cut will loosen trimming tool dirt without the use of abrasion. EZ-Cut is a non-toxic / non-flammable fluid that is sprayed on trimming tool blades, and it prevents rust. EZ-Cut contains a vegetable oil lubricant to maintain smooth operation of trimming tools.

Make sure that your saws have strong and sharp cutting edges or blades. This will make it easy for you to cut thick branches. Even the hydraulic tree trimming tools, featuring a few saw styles is easier to use than the petrol powered variety. Do not throw away your money. Research a tool perfectly before you can buy it.
