With the Keo, Bosch is launching a cordless garden saw for convenient, one-handed working. Its special feature is the removable "A-Grip" grab rail.

This makes it easy to cut branches without the second hand having to stabilize the branch, which would otherwise swing back and forth through the sawing movement. This is particularly advantageous for thinning high, difficult to reach branches. But also the cutting to length of poles, trellises or fence slats can be done with the Keo easily and without effort. The maximum cutting diameter increases from 60 to 80 millimeters and the user can also saw close to the trunk.
