EQUIPMENT FOCUS Saws
Corona QuickSaw The Corona QuickSaw, which is available through Forestry Suppliers, features a patent-pending tooth pattern that delivers a 20- percent faster cut than comparable professional saws. Plus, the high-carbon, impulse-hardened teeth stay sharp longer, meaning fewer replacement blades. QuickSaw’s dependable stroke and hooked blade keep the saw moving smoothly for a safer, more stable cut. The elastomer grip handle reduces hand fatigue by dampening vibrations and provides superior grip when wet or dry.
