It features a full chisel cutter profile and compact 76.2 / 8 mm (3/8") pitch that delivers aggressive, fast cutting with tight tooth spacing. The Picco Super PS formulation provides smoother operation, reduced vibration and a clean cutting surface, making it suitable for precise trimming, pruning and a range of light to medium cutting tasks where controlled, efficient cutting is required.

Advantages

The design produces a very clean cut surface and consistent feed into the material, supporting longer intervals between adjustments when used and sharpened correctly.
