Would this tool work well for pruning thick rose canes?

It could cut through them. I guess you would want to use a "wood" blade. How thick they are and how much effort it has to take to cut them will determine how long you can run it. I use it for PVC pipes to give you a reference point (if that helps)

I doubt it. The branches would wiggle too much & it wouldn't be a clean cut. If memory serves rose bushes need a real smooth cut when trimmed, don't know why though.

Hello Susan,I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps.http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdfregardsfrank

Can't be sure but it works really well on pruners and other landscape tools! I think it would be worth trying!

This saw is good for light pruning. If you're going to cut firewood, a chain saw is far more effective.

Yes, but you might find the extended blade more useful for that task. It is very easy to attach and can trim off flower heads in one easy swooping pass.

I don't know what the manufacturer claims as the maximum cutting thickness, but in my experience this tool will easily cut 1/4" shoots, it may cut 1/2", but it would definitely not be able to cut a 1-inch branch. For that you would normally need a lopper. Nevertheless, I find this tool very useful for extending my reach to prune the new shoots on the wisteria growing on a pergola in our back yard, as well as small branches on other plants. There is a saw blade attachment available for cutting heavier branches. I like this pruner, and would recommend it for light trimming.

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush. The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

Yes. My husband uses it often and says, "it's the best pruner we've ever owned."

I have this and the Felco F310. For general work I prefer the F310. I am in my 60's and have a smaller hand. I can go for a few hours with the smaller one. I use the F-6 for thicker rose canes and heavier branches. The Felco's are the best pruners I have ever used.

this saw is more suited for pruning purposes and can be used as you like but it would take a while.

It should, as there a smaller tool that looks like it would be best for lemons and limes. Hope this helps!

I think these would wear out fairly quick on rose cane. Work great on other plants though.

No! This tool is meant to deburr and chamfer. What you need is a case trimmer.

I have used this saw for all kinds of trimming and pruning. It is very sharp and easy to use, and a great saw to have for pruning. Have not used on palm trees but I think it would work great1

I use it primarily for cutting palm fronds, which are quite firm. However, I have used it to trim spent crape myrtle blooms/seed pods, and it works on both wonderfully. Rarely have I been so pleased with a relatively simple product. I think it should work for you, but can't be sure. Just dry off the blades when you are done :)
