4019 Corded Electric 6-Ampere 8-Inch Electric Telescoping Pole Saw.

Needed to cut back shrubbery behind a shed that I couldn’t get to with a bow saw and because of my pacemaker I am unable to use gas equipment, this pole saw was brilliant and easy to use...cut through like a knife through butter!!

This is a little miracle worker of a saw! I was facing a daunting task – trimming a giant pyracantha bush in our back yard, which I would normally tackle with a manual tree pruner / lopper. Well this year we’ve had an especially tough winter with lots of snow. All the snow build-up caused the branches to droop so bad they were touching our deck, and I saw just how out of control the tree had gotten. I knew it was time to bring in some tougher hardware than a branch clipper and found this pole saw on Amazon. It slices right through the branches with very little effort or kick-back! There’s not much assembly required, just be sure to add the oil to it before running. It was somewhat heavy, especially to hold upright for a long time, so I took quite a few breaks while sawing. FYI I’m relatively small and weak lol, so for a big burly guy it would probably not be that heavy. But this tool was immensely easier to use than a clipper or manual saw. Plus the price is right! My before & after pictures do look a little wonky because I cut a bunch of dead debris from the center of the tree, but these are incredibly hardy plants that regenerate quickly. I’m guessing by spring, that ugly center portion will be all filled in. I’m trying to “train” it to grow up and out length-wise, because it functions as our screen for nosy neighbors. In any case, the length of the pole allowed me to reach tall branches without having to balance on a ladder. One of the best yard tools I’ve ever purchased and would highly recommend.

Works very well for pruning my fruit trees. Cut cleanly and quickly.

Very handy and easy to handle

Have used it to cut some high branches in my orchard to get the fruit. Will be helpful in trimming this fall. Lightest (but small engine) for old fogies like me.
