I have been staring at dead branches up in my cottonwood trees for years and finally decided to do something about it. Every year I have removed as many dead branches as I could reach using my 6-foot step ladder and a hand saw, but I have not been able to reach anything above 10 or 11 feet. This saw has solved that problem. Rather than spend a hundred dollars (or much more) on a gas or electric chain saw attached to a long pole that I would use infrequently, I found this saw on Amazon for about thirty bucks. It's not mechanized so it does require some effort on the part of the user, but not too much effort. For example, I used it for close to an hour and didn't even break a sweat. It saws easily and makes a nice clean cut. I cut dozens of branches and small limbs up to 6" in diameter that were between 10 and 21 feet above ground - the highest ones requiring the use of my step ladder. The hook at the end of the saw is extremely useful for breaking off brittle branches (no sawing required) and for dislodging cut branches that get hung up in the tree. The saw and its 10-foot pole is very lightweight and quite maneuverable -- I had no absolutely no trouble controlling it, even while standing on the 5th rung of my 6-foot step ladder. Assembly was simple. I had it all together is less than 5 minutes and the blade is not wobbly at all, despite what some reviewers reported. I have to believe that the reviewers who complained about a wobbly blade or the pole coming apart during use didn't put it together correctly. This is the first pole saw I have owned, and I must say that I am very impressed with this one. I cut enough dead wood out of my cottonwood trees in less than an hour to completely fill my full-size pickup truck, and then some. Had I hired a professional tree trimmer, I'm sure I would have been presented with a bill for several hundred dollars. For $30 and an hour of my time, I did the job instead. I think this is good pole saw for the average homeowner, especially considering its low cost compared to other pole saws.

Great product, got the job done. Would give it a 5 but it is not 14ft it is 13ft long from the tip of the saw to the bottom of the of the pole, one extra pole section would make it 14ft. The saw blade is sharp a flexible, I got the blade stuck between a falling branch and the tree, it twisted like a pretzel, I thought it was going to be bent but once it let go it popped right back to straight. Once you understand how it saws it works pretty good, I was able to cut through a 9in diameter branch with a little effort but not bad. Pole is sturdy with all sections attached and easy to handle.

Purchasing this saw was a game changer for my elderly husband, who has always been meticulous when it comes to removing dead limbs from the trees on our one acre property. When younger, he didn't mind climbing a ladder with a saw to take down dead limbs. After a knee replacement he could no longer safely climb and we were resigned to just living with ugly trees. But then we took a chance on this saw and it made ALL the difference. We have used it a dozen times already and it does an amazing job. The blade got stuck one time while sawing a larger branch. Otherwise, the tool has performed very well. The 14 foot pole handled by a 6'3" man means we can reach well up into the trees and remove a lot of the dead wood. Our yard is back to looking really well manicured. Can't emphasize enough how well this pole saw works!

I live in florida and have palm trees in my front yard and its always been a pain cutting the limbs off. You either had to pay someone to do it or spend half the day usually on a ladder cutting the dead and discolored palms down. Part of the problem also was some of the ones that need cutting are not always the bottom ones, and when you cut the ones higher up on the tree alot of the time they dont fall and get stuck or tangled with other palms after they are cut which is a real pain.Well this thing is not only super sharp the end is a bladed hook so you can literally pull cit limbs that may be stuck straight out.Sometimes there are palms that are broken from the wind stuck in the tree and all you need is the hook end to pull them down its awesome most cutters don't have that hook and you don't realize how useful it is until you have it.This thing is also super light and unscrews in sections to make it smaller or longer which i like better that the telescopic versions as those tend to have weak locks and the pole usual extends even when in the locked position, but not with this cutter.Its my go to cutter for palm limbs now i can cut them clean and super fast i have a dewalt polesaw and i use this over that now that says a-lot.The price is right and its simply works better than anything else get one you wont regret it.

Would have given 5 stars if not for saw blade being so flimsy. The blade is very sharp, the pole assembly is quick and easy and very sturdy. Has a hefty secure feeling. Unfortunately when using blade tends to bend and get stuck.

This was great pole saw. I couldn't believe how sharp this was for the price. Also that it really was 14 feet tall not the usual it's 14 feet tall when held by a 5 to 6 foot person. I cut 5 branches 2 were 4" diameter the others were around 2 to 3. It went right through them. One of the smaller branches was harder because it moved so much but others were cut with no issues
