Pruning Shears/Saw?

[Chester]

I carry the Gerber Deluxe Hunter's Pruning Kit with Sport Saw and Ratcheting Pruning Shears.

For saws I really like the Coghlans Sierr@  tooth folding saw, it's sharp and aggressive, cheap, and locks open.

That's the pruner I have that broke.  I love the saw though.

I have two pair of these, one in my Turkey vest and one in my hunting pack. They are the best.

They will easily cut 1" trees and will cut bigger if you work at it.

They will replace them for a few bucks if they ever break or get dull, which mine never have done either.

I have broken 4 Gerber ratchet pruners and sent them back each time and they sent me a new one, only to be broken again.
Don't waste your money on the Gerber.  Spend the extra money and buy yourself a Florian ratchet pruners, you won't regret it.  They are made in the USA and are guaranteed for life.  I have had mine for about 5 years now and believe me they have been put to the test and have never failed me.  If I can get the cutter around the tree or branch, it will cut it, no problem!!!!!

X2.....Got a pr of all steel about 10yrs ago and they still cut like new. Mine are the anvil type and don't think I paid much for them at Walmart. Sewed a leather strap on my Gerber Saw Holster so I could carry them and the saw on my belt. Gerber saw stays sharp a long time also.

I always carry a pair of shears when hunting, I prefer ones with an anvil style blade.  Should be able to find a decent pair with metal handles at any hardware or garden supply store.

same here!

Corona makes a good pair or pruners.  All metal, no plastic.....been using the same pair for deer, turkey, and trimming trees in the yard the past three years and it is still scary sharp.  I got mine at Lowes I believe.
