The "scissor" action of the blades is between two and three inches. You'll be able to cut palm fronds off of the tree at their base easily, but trimming the wide flat portion of the fronds would not be easy/possible with this tool. BTW I used this tool all weekend trimming tall pines and holly and could not have survived without it.

1.25" wide, 1.5" deep, have used it to trim palm limbs, had no problems, it made quick work of the job

The largest branches I cut were about 1-1.5in diameter. I was surprised how easy it was!

The blade which comes with the saw is for cutting metal. Thus the teeth have a narrow gap between them. Since it is hand held, what you are cutting needs to be at body/arm height for comfort. Personally, I would invest in a telescoping tree limb cutter (Fiskar makes a good one).

Up to 4" but it is sure a desirable tool for branches up to 4" when the branches are on the ground. I can't lift the saw up because of weight and I'm aged. I sure enjoy it for branches that won't fit in the lawn waste. I really like it.

For cutting from the tip to about midway up the blade, you can maintain a full-handed grip without touching (for an average sized male). Midway back to the handle knuckles will hit and you would likely want to use a different grip-i.e., more of a pinching kind (which works perfectly well for me when needs be). Hope this is helpful.

About 2-3 inches. You need to think about the amount AF trimming versus longer straight line mowing when selecting you width. I have a city lot with larger amounts of trimming so I chose the more narrow blade width.

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

U mean the size? I bought it and i never measure it, but im thin, and my hand is about 6cm width (so the circle might be around 15cm), still i have to cut off two ring to make it tight to my wrist, but i regret it, i should have only cut one. Lol. Now its too tight. If u have normal width of arm, i guess it will fit u without cut off one or two ring. If u r kinda (sorry) fat, u might wanna look again at the measurement

I am not sure. I have had great success cutting branches as large as my thumb & those about an inch- with ease.

not sure...haven't tried branchs. Just cut some rope and cardboard boxes. Did fine with those.

The rubber tip on mine twists right off - but if yours won't twist try carefully heating the rubber a tad with a hair dryer. IF you mean trimming the wood - I used a hack saw, no problem. Mine had grooves at 1.5 and 2.75 inches from the bottom - convenient cutting points.

I am not able to measure the blade as I have changed it. I change often a I do a lot of cutting with the rotory cutter. Sorry.

I've got a Ryobi 4 stroke trimmer. It did require a thin spacer around the shaft of the trimmer accessory so it could clamp the blade. I've cut up to 2" saplings but you do have to watch the sapling doesn't squeeze down on the blade, it can stall the trimmer.

Fiskars says it will cut branches up to 1" thick. I personally use other pruners for larger branches and would imagine these will cut 1/2"-3/4" of most wood types without any issue.

You can easily cut 12" with the slide function, Ive cut 24" on it many times with just flipping over in middle of cut, the saw is a bear, but when set up properly, she can cut like SOB.

the polesaw is only about 8 ft long so you can only reach about 12 ft with your arms extended. If you can lay the chain on the branch and let it cut you can cut branches at 12 ft but if you have to hold the entire weight of the saw with your arms it gets heavy quite fast.

Fully extended I can reach small branches up to about 10 feet I estimate.Any further and it is very difficult to handle. Purchased the product abouta year ago and I am very happy with it. You can also break it down and use ashand clipper. Tom
