The GTA 26 is our first battery-powered pruning saw. It is the ideal tool for small pruning tasks, cutting up yard waste and handy for small DIY jobs.
Designed to be comfortable and simple to use, the GTA 26 has rubberized handles so it is easy to control. It features a hinged protective hood, a charge level indicator and tool-free chain replacement.
The GTA 26 is powered by an AS 2 battery which uses an AL 1 charger, and comes with a bottle of Multi-oil Bio for lubricating the chain and a carry case, which has eyelets on the back, so it can be mounted on the wall, for neat storage.
