PRUNING TOOLS 
The Honest-to-Goodness Kind 
MADE BY DISSTON 
Right, successful pruning depends on the 
right pruning tools. That’s just horse sense. 
Cheap tools dull quickly, work hard, and 
crush or tear instead of making a clean 
quick-healing cut. 
These tools we offer you are all made by 
Disston. That’s all you need to know. They 
are the best performing, longest lasting 
tools your money can buy.
