Agave Dead Leaf Trimming: Grinder or Reciprocating Saw

Tool Advice

Chainsaw shreds fibers. Circular saw = too dangerous.

Better Tools

Angle grinder with cutting wheel (clean cuts).
Reciprocating saw (Sawzall) with coarse blade.
Hacksaw + elbow grease (small jobs).

Safety

Eye protection, gloves, long sleeves. Agave sap irritates. Fiber dust = respiratory hazard.
