@JustANobody if youve got a lot of trees to work on you can get girdling scissors that you rotate around the branch to give you the girdle cuts.
Also if your doing lots of fruit grafts its worth getting a pair or two of grafting shears which , as long as you use similar dimension scion wood to the branch, will give a perfect marriage. Then just tape or wax the union.
Sterilize with iso between working on each tree so no nastys are spread
