About Pruning Saw Blades
Pruning saw blades are essential replacement components designed to restore cutting performance to pole saws and pruning saws used in tree surgery, arboriculture, and garden maintenance. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of replacement blades compatible with popular pole saw systems and handheld pruning saws from trusted brands including ARS, Bahco, DeWalt, Draper, and Roughneck. These precision-engineered blades feature hardened teeth and optimised tooth patterns to deliver clean, efficient cuts through live and dead wood.
Available in various lengths and tooth configurations, pruning saw blades cater to different cutting requirements, from fine pruning work to heavy-duty branch removal. Curved blade designs are particularly effective for pole-mounted applications, allowing for improved cutting action and control when working at height. Regular blade replacement ensures safer operation and reduces user fatigue by maintaining optimal cutting efficiency.
Applications
Pruning saw blades at MyToolShed are used by a diverse range of professionals and enthusiasts:

Choosing The Right Pruning Saw Blades
Selecting the correct replacement blade ensures compatibility and optimal performance:
- Compatibility: Always match the blade to your specific saw model. ARS blades are designed for EXP pole systems, whilst Bahco, Roughneck, and other brands have model-specific fitments
- Blade length: Longer blades (350-470mm) suit larger branches and faster cutting, whilst shorter blades offer greater control in confined spaces
- Tooth pattern: Curved blades with aggressive tooth geometry excel at pole saw applications, providing efficient cutting action with less effort
- Material quality: Look for hardened steel construction with impulse-hardened teeth for extended blade life and maintained sharpness
- Application type: Consider whether you're cutting green wood, seasoned timber, or mixed materials when selecting tooth configuration
Safety Information
Always disconnect pole saws from extension poles before replacing blades. Wear protective gloves when handling new and used blades to prevent cuts from sharp teeth. Ensure replacement blades are securely fastened according to manufacturer instructions before use. Never attempt to sharpen or modify blade tooth patterns, as this can compromise structural integrity and cutting safety. Store unused blades in protective sheaths away from moisture to prevent corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my pruning saw blade?
Replace your blade when you notice reduced cutting efficiency, bent or missing teeth, or excessive effort required during cuts. Professional users typically replace blades seasonally or after intensive work periods, whilst occasional users may achieve several years of service with proper maintenance.
Are pruning saw blades interchangeable between brands?
No, pruning saw blades are generally manufacturer-specific with unique mounting systems. Always purchase replacement blades designed for your particular saw model to ensure proper fitment and safe operation.
Can I use pole saw blades on handheld pruning saws?
Pole saw blade heads are designed specifically for pole-mounted systems and are not compatible with handheld pruning saws, which use different blade attachments and handle configurations.
