Best pruning saw

Ms170 and 180 as great for the money but don't last long if your using them full time. I had 3 of them used for carving which lasted reasonably well, but quite a difference in durability and power when compared rear handle ms200 and ms201.....

I'd have a look at the echo 360/361wes. The top handle version seems to be lasting well.

You may also find a good condition used ms200 or 201 for £200 ish

Looking to buy a 12/14" saw for the smaller jobs. Probably won't get a huge amount of work so don't want to spend a fortune (£200 max) but don't want to buy a pup either. I'm sure that there's plenty of advice out there wacko.png...it will all be appreciated

This would be my choice for what you say your needs are....it is more saw than you would think for the money and spec. The ps 32 will do the job as well just a little less HP.

I finally decided to go for the Stihl ms 180 so went online to look for one. Turns out that they will only hand them over in person from a dealer or from a delivery driver from the retailer who can give me a safety lecture first. That rules Stihl machines out for me, living in the Highlands of Scotland. I actually have a local dealer, but they want silly money. Nice one Stihl.
