During any cold dry days of winter in January and February, I do dormant winter pruning of fruit trees, roses, and shrubs. These are my basic tools, plus I take a bottle of rubbing alcohol with me to sterilize the pruners frequently to prevent the spread of any diseases. The rechargeable, battery-operated reciprocating saw with a pruning blade is a mainstay for us, considering the amount we have to tend to. Fruit wood is chopped for kindling.
