 Great pruner May 24, 2010

The pruning part works great. I thought I'd be using the saw more than the pruner, but it turns out I was wrong. 1.25 inches is big enough for most of what I thought I'd have to saw off.
The saw works fine ,but when you're working at full extension it takes some patience to cut through a thicker limb due to the amount of flex in the blade and the heft of the pole. If I had to actually saw more limbs instead of using the pruner, I would probably get a better single purpose pole saw only instead of a combo tool.
 Great!! December 14, 2009

I am a 5ft 5in 135lb woman and I found this easy to use. I have never trimmed my trees or even know how to but after reading the reviews on this product decided to give it a try. I used both the clipper and the saw blade. They did the job very well and I found it alot effortless than I thought it would be. I am satisfied with this product!
Nice saw December 14, 2009

Just used it to prune the bottom half of a 35 foot blue oak and it was a pleasure. The saw is very sharp and cut through the branches about 5 inches thick in a couple minutes. Just sliding it over the branch under its own weight seemed to be enough for it to cut. The blade did stick in a branch as it started to snap, and I didn't tighten up the extension enough, so it was difficult to free, but once I tightened the extension, it was always easy to free the blade. The pruner also easily cut the smaller branches. The pulley system gets a lot of force with lever action, but the rope does swing free a bit. It would be nice to fashion some way to keep the rope next to the pole. It is also not so heavy for man of average strength - in that regard, I'm glad I didn't buy a moterized pole saw which I would think would be really hard to maneuver. I'm glad I bought this one for the amount of pruning I have - about one acre.
Great Trimmer October 28, 2009

This pole trimmer works very well. I did quite a bit of research before buying these and everything pointed to these being the best. I'm very pleased with how well this trimmer works and also, these are sturdier made than others.
Does its job, and does it well October 23, 2009

This is my first experience with a pruner, so while I can't compare it to other models, I can at least review the unit itself. I recently moved into a new house and my insurance company requested that I trim back some branches that were touching the roof. This model gets pretty good reviews here on Amazon, and I wanted to make sure I got something with a good reach and a good drive system. This model satisfies both requirements.
I found the reach of the pruner to be very good. It's true that once you have it extended out to its maximum length it can get a bit unwieldy. That's to be expected, though, as you're now working with a 14-foot pole. My arms did end up getting a bit tired, but I was able to make it through without much problem. I really appreciated that extra length, as I didn't have to get out the ladder. Adjusting the length is very easy thanks to the twist-lock adjustment. The padded grip is a nice addition. I imagine a non-padded pole would really add to your fatigue level.
The pruner does a good job of slicing through small branches, up to about 1 inches or so. Anything bigger and it would start to cut, but not be able to make it through. I did have the chain drive get twisted on me, but it only happened once. Branches had suddenly become much harder to cut. After a bit of investigation, I was able to see that the chain had twisted, and the rope was now coming out of the side of the chain guide, instead of the back. It was really just a minor annoyance and easily fixed.
I found that the rope handle didn't work very well. The handle has a groove that you slip the rope into, which should grab the rope and keep the handle in place. I may have been using it wrong, but it would just slip down the rope whenever I tried to lock it into place and use it. I ended up just wrapping the rope around my hand and giving it a good pull, then moving my hand up, and pulling again.
The saw was effective, but a bit hard to get started. The best method I found was to take a number of downward cuts on the branches, just to get the cut started. Once the cut is going, you can then start using a normal back-and-forth cut. This can be a bit tedious, especially on wobbly branches where you need to wait for the branch to stop swaying after each cut, but it works. The saw was plenty sharp and did a pretty good job of cutting through the thicker branches. The rope can get in the way, but I found that it was easily managed by just holding onto the rope, snug against the pole, as you cut.
All in all, I'm very pleased. I was able to trim back the necessary branches quite easily, and actually look forward to using this tool more in the future. There's a small bit of learning required when using a pruner, but once you figure out a good "system," it's smooth sailing.
