SMONTER 26Ft Tree Pruner Pole Saw for Tree Trimming Manual Branches Trimmer Extendable Pole Saw Cutting Set Garden Tools

The pole saw arrived yesterday and I used it today. It is a simple design that is easy to assemble and use. Yes...it is a little challenging to get the long pole upright, but I am a 69 yo male, 197 lbs, and had no problem hoisting it up with all sections but two screwed together...so I had it at 15 feet. It works like every other pole saw. Once you get the groove cut with only 2 or 3 pulls...it stays in the groove well. I suggest planting the handle end on the ground and pushing the saw end up.. once upright it is fairy easy to pick it up and balance and walk it around since gravity isn't pulling on the entire length! When cutting the fact the tip is hooked keeps the saw from pulling out of the track. For branches over 2 inches it will take several minutes ..and a few breathers to get the branch cut through... the largest I cut today was probably 3 or 4 inches thick.... and yes...it is a workout. But pole saws are all a work out. As I said, I'm 69 and used it continuously for almost 3 hours with no problem. It paid for itself in the first hour. An arborist locally charges $100 an hour...so I figure I pocketed $200 after paying for the cost of the saw. I have 2.5 wooded acres and plan to use it to trim a plethora of trees needing grooming. I will consider this part of my weekly workout routine!! It comes in a great storage bag that has a robust zipper and they throw in a pair of cotton gloves that I'd say are size small or medium. They don't fit my XL hands, but my wife can use them for sure for her garden chores. The saw looks very well made and even has that extra replacent blade. This pole saw is much safer than using a ladder to do this work. And most of us don't have a 20 foot ladder anyways! 5 stars in all respects. I highly recommend this saw...keep your feet on the ground, stay safe, and get those pruning jobs done lickedy split at your own pace and use that money you save for that special other thing you have your eye own! Take care.

Used to remove a palm frond at 15 feet. Works very well. Not too heavy but sturdy. Screws together easily. Blade is very sharp. Comes with nice carrying bag and a spare blade.

Way more saw than I really needed. With one extension it easily reaches my tallest palm trees, but it has six extensions, so I can probably trim my ficus tree too which is probably close to thirty feet tall. I love the hook on the end of the saw blade, exactly what I needed for my palms. I also love that it came with an extra blade, I think this will last for a lifetime. When assembled it is lightweight, yet very sturdy. I highly recommend this product. Worth every penny I think.

The pruner works well and did what I needed it to do. But be aware that the higher you go the less steady the pole becomes. I felt that it works best at very high heights if you rest the saw on the branch and make slow steady strokes and let the saw do its job. Overall I am happy with the purchase and do recommend it just don’t expect miracles at its highest extension

So many of these pole saw ads are contradictory. This ad is accurate, the assembled pole is 26' overall, you do get two blades. Quality is what you would expect at this price range. Cuts well, if you want to get the job done without spending on a high dollar saw this will get it done. Great for seasonal maintenance.

I've owned this saw for two years now and have used it for probably twenty hours total. It's amazing. Easy to assemble to any length, the blade is very sharp and stays sharp, and even with four or five extensions attached it's not unwieldy. Perfect for the homeowner who doesn't want to hire an expensive tree service every year to keep tall trees in trim. I can easily imagine this pole saw lasting 20 years since it comes with two blades.

It is easy to assemble but you need to tape the joints as if you put any twisting motion on the pole saw the joints might come loose. I was able to get buy with 4 sections if you need more then it can be a handle to move it into the position needed to use. The blade is very thin so there is some flex in the blade when using it. If I had to use it with all the sections in place with that weight and with the flex in that extended extension it would present real Challange to use. I used it on branches at height's of 15-20 foot and it worked just great. If I needed to trim a lot of trees and or at higher heights I would have looked at what else was available.
