Customer Reviews:

The long arm of the saw [Posted on 2006-11-14]
The saw is very well made and incredibly lightweight. Once I got the hang of it, it only took about five minutes of sawing to get through a 2" branch.

To get the most out of the saw, you have to find a position that works well for you, and keep the blade in the same position for the duration of the sawing. It's very easy for the blade to slip out of the groove you just cut if you aren't careful, and then you have to fanagle it back into place. This happens more the longer you extend the pole, I've found.

For what it is, it's a fantastic tool. It won't replace a guy with a bucket truck and an array of chainsaws, but if you've got an unruly tree that needs to be trimmed back a little bit, this might be what you're looking for.

Another shoddy tool from China [Posted on 2008-03-27]
Poorly made import from China - when will manufacturers ever learn? This pruner has PLATED blades and the plating is flaking off before I have even tried to use this thing. It's going straight back to Amazon. Let the Chinese buy this junk - I want quality.
