What is it?
Folding pruning saw

What is it used for?
It cuts through branches up to 10 centimetres in diameter.

Why do I like this model?
The blade cuts cleanly (even through green wood), which promotes quick healing, then folds safely away in a bright red handle that’s hard to lose in the underbrush.

How much does it cost?
About $30
