less than expected [Posted on 2008-01-10]
This saw is useful for long extensions only on very small branches or limbs, no more than 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter. At shorter extensions, it's easier to apply some leverage. I found the blade too flexible as well.
I used it on apple and black walnut. I have a broken walnut limb about 10' high in the tree and about 3 1/2" thick. I wasn't able to cut it and will need to climb the tree and use a handsaw. If you have a lot of pruning you will be disappointed in the time it takes to finish a limb.
Too big of teeth and a flimsy blade [Posted on 2008-04-24]
I thought Fiskars was a good name to trust, but they missed a few things with this saw!
The blade it came with has both too large of teeth (because we had a hard time getting branches started) and too flimsy of a blade (ours bent at about 2" from the tip and we had to toss it because it kept getting hung-up inside the cut)
The rest of the product held up nicely at fully extended lenghths, but I might have looked into either the string-pull assisted saws or even the blades that connect to your weed-eater. Back and forth is a LOT of work!!
Good light-to-medium duty saw [Posted on 2008-05-30]
Good pruning saw for the price. Light and easy to use, but not for heavy-duty work. Had to tighten all the screws first, including those that lock the extension in place.
pole saw [Posted on 2008-07-15]
We use this saw mainly to cut thick sumac. It eliminates the need to be at ground level. It works great for dead branches in evergreen trees too. The blade cleans up very well! Fiskars is a recommendable brand.
excellent limb trimmer [Posted on 2008-07-27]
I have a lot of mature trees that have started to spread out too close to my house and other trees. This trimmer is perfect to get some of those smaller limbs before they become damaging. It is light and managable even when extended fully. It only takes a couple minutes to saw through 1" to 2" limbs. The angle of the blade is adjustable to make it easy to get just the right approach to make the cut.
