The best Fiskars saws, compared.
Top pick: Fiskars D-handle saw 1028375 Best value: Fiskars 15 inch PowerTooth saw – Score 68 at about £49.53, with a stated pull-and-push stroke and 4.7 from 722 ratings, the strongest remaining row on price and evidence. Updated October 2026.
A Fiskars saw is a hand tool: a bow saw, a pruning saw, a, or a folding pull saw. It is not a mains or cordless saw. You might want one for green branches, or to buck a small trunk or a damp log, often so you do not have to start a chainsaw. Separate these eight amazon.co.uk listings by the job, the stroke, and the blade length, then by whether a guard or a spare blade is actually listed. A sound saw tracks without a banana cut, and the tooth should match the wood. Ignore a battery, corded, 28 V, or 4,500 rpm row when the title describes a hand saw. How to order those checks is in the [Fiskars saw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/fiskars-saw/sub/fiskars-saw-buying-guide). The eight amazon.co.uk listings are a bow saw, pruning saws, saws, and one folding pull saw. A thin pull blade is not a tool you lean on.

Question 1 of 2
What are you cutting?
The Fiskars D-handle listing, at £32.47, puts 680 mm in the title and 440 g in the weight row, and it does not say whether 680 mm is the blade or the whole saw. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from 3 reviews. The one UK text says the item is good and that it arrived half out of the packet, so the stars do not describe the cut. There is no tooth, stroke, or capacity bullet. The dimensions row says 10 × 10 × 10 mm, and the power row says corded electric. The included-components field says false, so a sheath is not confirmed. Above the SW31 on price, this page is a title length with almost no record of how the saw cuts.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You will open the live listing and confirm length, stroke, and whether a sheath is in the box before you pay.
Less suitable: You need a saw this week with a review record of the cut.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this D-handle saw plug into the mains?
The title is a garden pruning saw. The power-source row says corded electric, and no voltage or UK plug is listed. Treat that row as listing noise.
Does the file say it comes with a sheath?
No. A scraped question asks about a sheath. The included-components field says false.
What do the three reviews say?
The listing is 5.0 from 3. The UK text says the item is good and that it arrived half out of the packet. There is almost no comment on the cut.
The Fiskars SW-240, listed at £76.72, is a curved pruning saw at 200 g with a pulling cut, coarse teeth, and a storage case in the title and the included-components field. amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 127 reviews. The raw file has no UK review text; the themes are from German and Italian reviews. Those reviews describe a fast cut in fresh wood, including fruit-tree branches, if you do not load the return stroke. Dry older wood takes longer than wet fresh wood. One reviewer stays around 10–15 cm, which is a comment, not a rated capacity. The contents line says a 24 cm saw length and the blade-length row says 22 cm, so the file does not settle the length. A 28 V row sits on a saw the power row also calls manual.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are pruning fresh branches, hedges, or bushes you can reach, and you want a case named in the box.
Less suitable: You are bucking logs, or you need UK review text before you pay the top price in this set.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the SW-240 cut on the push?
The bullets say a pulling cut. A review in the file tells you not to load the return stroke. The power row says manual.
Is a case in the box?
Yes. The title and the included-components field both include a storage and transport case.
Which blade length should you trust?
The contents line says saw length 24 cm and total length 40 cm. The blade-length row says 22 cm. The file does not resolve that clash.
The Fiskars 15 inch pruning saw, model 393440-1001, is listed at £49.53, and the bullets say a triple-ground PowerTooth blade that cuts on the pull and the push, including undercuts. It is 4.7 from 722 amazon.co.uk ratings, the second-largest sample here, which is why it carries the best-value mark once the SW31 holds the top pick. The written reviews in the raw file are from the United States, Canada, and Australia, so that star line is not British opinion. Reviewers describe limbs they put around 4 to 6 inches, and a saw light enough for overhead work. Handle ribs rubbed between thumb and palm for one buyer, and the teeth cut a sheath that did not match the curve. The weight row says 23.8 g, which is not a usable figure for a 15 inch saw. A lifetime warranty is a bullet in the listing, with no terms in the file, and the power row says corded electric.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a handled pruning saw with a stated two-way stroke for large branches you can reach, and you will ignore the weight row.
Less suitable: You need UK review text, a sheath named in the box, or a bow saw for supported logs.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this 15 inch saw cut on the pull only?
The bullets say the triple-ground PowerTooth blade cuts on the pull and the push stroke. They also mention undercuts.
What does the lifetime warranty rest on?
It is a bullet in the listing. The file has no warranty-type row and no terms. Statutory rights sit with the seller under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Is the 23.8 g weight usable?
No. That row is not plausible for a 15 inch saw. The included-components field says saw, while reviews mention a guard the field does not list.
The Fiskars 13 inch fixed-handle pruning saw, model 393571-1003, is listed at £50.43 and 300 g, and the only bullet is nonslip. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 216 reviews. The raw file has one UK sentence, which says it is light and cuts tree branches fast; the other themes are from the United States and Canada. Reviewers mention a sharp tooth and dead wood, including one softwood stem they put near 9 inches, which is a comment, not a capacity. One saw arrived with teeth missing in the middle of the blade, and one tip bent after hard use on dead wood. The included-components field says bare tool, while one review mentions a cover the field does not list. Stroke is not in the bullets; one reviewer says the pull works better than the push.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a short fixed pruning saw and you will inspect the teeth on arrival, because the spec page is thin and the review count is real.
Less suitable: You need a stated pull stroke, a case named in the box, or a blade you cannot check before the first cut.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the 13 inch saw claim beyond the title?
The only bullet is nonslip. Tooth pattern, stroke and a sheath are not in the bullets. The teeth row says 6.
Is a cover included?
The included-components field says bare tool. One review says the saw comes with a cover. The file does not settle that.
Is the UK review file large?
The listing is 4.6 from 216. The raw file has one UK sentence, which says it is light and cuts tree branches fast. Other texts are from the United States and Canada.
The Fiskars PowerTooth D-handle, model 393440, is listed at £54.09 as a 15 inch hand-powered saw at 360 g, and the bullets say triple-ground teeth for thick branches. It is 4.5 from 71 amazon.co.uk reviews. The written sample is from the United States and Canada, not the United Kingdom. One reviewer says it cuts on the pull; the bullets do not say pull or push. Reviewers describe shrubs, branches, and about 4 inches in one comment. One saw bound because the kerf was too narrow. The included-components field says tree pruner, while the title is a saw, and a guard appears in a review the box field does not list. The files do not say this is the same saw as model 393440-1001.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a D-handle for thick branches and you will check the live page until the box line matches a saw.
Less suitable: You need a stated pull-and-push stroke, or you are content to order a listing whose box line says tree pruner.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this D-handle saw hand powered?
Yes. The power-source row says hand powered, which matches the title. The specification-met row says CE and does not name a standard.
What is in the box?
The included-components field says tree pruner. The title is a 15 inch PowerTooth D-handle saw. Those two lines do not agree.
Do the bullets say pull or push?
They do not. They say triple-ground PowerTooth teeth for thick branches. One review says the saw cuts on the pull.
The Fiskars Pro folding pull saw, listed at £42, has a 25 cm blade at 13 TPI and weighs 270 g, and the bullets name softwood, squared timber, and PVC. It is 4.4 from 34 amazon.co.uk reviews. The raw file has no UK review text; the themes come from German, Spanish, French, and Italian reviews. Reviewers praise the lock and a fine result in softwood, and one notes spare blade 1062943, which is sold separately. The flexible blade twists if you force it, and one reviewer says the thin blade is a poor match for fresh wood. The power row says corded and brushless, which does not match a folding hand saw.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a folding saw for softwood, squared timber, or PVC, and you will not lean on the blade.
Less suitable: You are cutting fresh green branches, or you need a stiff blade for a heavy cut.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the folding saw claim to cut?
The bullets say softwood and everyday cuts on squared timber, PVC and more. They do not claim fresh green branches.
Can the blade be replaced?
Yes. The bullets say the blade is replaceable and give article 1062943 for the spare. The spare is not in the box.
Are the 34 reviews from the UK?
The listing is 4.4 from 34. The raw file has no UK review text. The texts in the file are from Germany, Spain, France and Italy.
The Fiskars SW31, listed at £20.35, is a 24 inch bow saw, the bullets also say 625 mm, and it weighs 595 g, with a title for damp wood. On amazon.co.uk it is 4.3 from 1,019 reviews, and the raw file holds 41 UK texts, which is why it is the top pick in this set. Reviewers use it on logs, a small hardwood tree, and apple wood instead of a chainsaw, and several say it tracks if you do not force the stroke. The blade wandered into a banana cut for more than one buyer, which added time. One buyer bent the blade on a thick laurel trunk. A highlight mentions a blade guard, but the included-components field lists only the SW31. The power row says battery and 4,500 rpm, and those rows do not describe this hand saw.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are bucking small trunks or damp logs you can support, and you want the saw in this set with the largest UK review file.
Less suitable: You need a flush cut in a fork, or you expected a one-handed saw for green branches.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the SW31 a battery saw?
The title is a bow saw for damp wood. The power-source row says battery powered, with a 4,500 rpm row. Treat those rows as listing noise.
Does the listing include a blade guard?
The item highlight mentions a blade guard. The included-components field lists the 24 inch SW31 bow saw and does not list a guard as a separate part.
What length does the file give?
The bullets say 625 mm. The blade-length row says 24 inches, and the item highlight says 70 cm (24 inches).
The Fiskars SW37, model 1028374, is listed at £28.51 and 390 g, and the raw file has no bullets and no customer-review line. The title is a D-handle garden saw. The blade-length row says 1 cm and the blade shape says round, which does not match a garden saw, so those rows are listing noise. The handle material row says stainless steel, with no SoftGrip claim in this file. The power row says AC and 28 V. A UK trade page describes a fuller SW37 than this amazon.co.uk file prints, which is a reason to re-check the live listing, not a specification you can take from the raw file. At this price the page gives you a model number and a weight.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know the SW37 from a current trade page and you will re-check the live amazon.co.uk listing before you pay.
Less suitable: You need tooth, stroke, a usable blade length, or any review record from this file.
Specifications
Common questions
What tooth does the SW37 claim?
The raw file does not say. There is no TPI, no bullet list, and the blade-length row says 1 cm, which does not match a garden saw.
Is there a star rating?
No customer-review line is in the raw file, so this page does not print a star rating for the SW37.
Does the SW37 need mains power?
The title is a D-handle garden saw. The power row says AC and 28 volts. Treat that row as listing noise.
Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk raw listings captured on 19 October 2026. There is no lab test. Each score is 0–100. It starts from the star rating and the size of the review file, then from whether the bullets name the job and the stroke. Points come off for a junk weight or dimension, a box field that names the wrong object, a length that clashes with itself, no UK review text, and a repeated complaint. The highest score is the top pick, once. Best value is the strongest remaining row on price and evidence, once.
Star rating
30%The amazon.co.uk star line is the start of the score. A 4.3 from a large file outranks a 5.0 from three ratings that do not describe the cut.
Review-file size
25%The size of the review file sits with the stars. 1,019 reviews on the SW31, and 722 on the 15 inch PowerTooth, carry more than three ratings or a file with no review line. No UK review text is a deduction even when the star line is high.
Job and stroke
25%Points follow whether the bullets name the job and the stroke. Damp wood, a pulling cut, or pull and push, is usable. A title that only says garden saw, with no stroke, is not.
Listing hygiene
20%Points come off for a junk weight or dimension, a box field that names the wrong object, a length row that clashes, and a repeated complaint such as a wandering bow blade, a twisted folder, or a saw that arrived half out of the packet. A battery, corded, 28 V, or 4,500 rpm row on a hand saw does not add points.
Buy the job and the stroke before the colour of the handle. A Fiskars saw in this set is a hand tool for green branches, or for a small trunk and damp logs you can support. It is not a chainsaw and not a mains saw. A 24 cm pruning blade is the wrong tool for a trunk, and a bow saw is the wrong tool for a flush cut in a fork. A battery, corded, 28 V, or 4,500 rpm row does not describe these titles. Stored shelf prices run from about £20.35 to about £76.72.
A Fiskars saw on this page is a hand tool. The eight amazon.co.uk listings are a bow saw, pruning saws, D-handle saws, and one folding pull saw. None of them is a mains or cordless saw. People buy them to cut green branches, or to buck a small trunk or a damp log, often so they do not have to start a chainsaw. A sound saw tracks without wandering into a banana cut, and the tooth matches the wood. A thin pull blade is not a tool you lean on. The bow saw is the SW31, article 1000615.
A bow saw is the wrong tool for a flush cut in a fork. A 24 cm pruning blade is the wrong tool for a trunk. The SW31 is for damp logs and small trunks you can support. The SW-240 is for fresh branches, hedges, and bushes you can reach.
Do not push hard on a thin pull blade. The SW-240 reviews say not to load the return stroke. The Pro folder's flexible blade twists if you force it, and one reviewer says the thin blade is a poor match for fresh wood.
A battery, corded, 28 V, or 4,500 rpm row on these hand-saw titles is listing noise. It does not mean a BS 1363 plug or a cordless motor. Do not assume a scabbard is in every box because one review mentioned a cover.
Start with the job. Logs and small trunks you can support point to the SW31 bow saw, article 1000615, titled for damp wood. It is 4.3 from 1,019 reviews at about £20.35, and UK reviewers use it on logs and apple wood when the stroke stays light. Branches you can reach from the ground point to a pruning saw or a D-handle. Covered teeth in a toolbox point to the Pro folding pull saw, which states softwood, squared timber, and PVC, not fresh green branches. Stroke is the next split.
Match the length to the wood. The folding saw states 25 cm and 13 TPI for softwood, squared timber, and PVC. The SW-240 contents line says a 24 cm saw length and coarse teeth for fresh wood, while the blade-length row says 22 cm. A 24 cm pruning blade is the wrong tool for a trunk. The SW31 bullets say 625 mm and the blade-length row says 24 inches. Both 15 inch PowerTooth models say 15 inch, and the files do not say they are the same saw.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are bucking small trunks or damp logs you can support, and you want the saw in this set with the largest UK review file. The SW31 is the top pick at about £20.35, at 4.3 from 1,019 reviews. It is the wrong saw for a flush cut in a fork.
You want a handled pruning saw with a stated two-way stroke for large branches you can reach, and you will ignore the 23.8 g weight row. The 15 inch PowerTooth is best value at about £49.53, at 4.7 from 722 ratings. The written reviews in the file are not from the UK.
You want a folding saw for softwood, squared timber, or PVC, and you will not lean on the blade. The Pro folder is about £42, with a 25 cm blade at 13 TPI and a lock over the teeth. It is a poor match for fresh green branches.
The top pick is the Fiskars SW31 bow saw at about £20.35. It scores 76, the highest score in this set, for damp logs and small trunks you can support, with 4.3 from 1,019 reviews and UK review text in the file. Best value is the 15 inch PowerTooth saw, model 393440-1001, at about £49.53. It scores 68 and is the strongest remaining row, with a stated pull-and-push stroke and 4.7 from 722 ratings. A 5.0 from 3 reviews on the 680 mm D-handle scores 24 and does not outrank the SW31 file. These scores are not a lab test.
Fiskars 15 inch PowerTooth saw
Score 68 at about £49.53, with a stated pull-and-push stroke and 4.7 from 722 ratings, the strongest remaining row on price and evidence.
