 U.sSeful and Works Well July 25, 2010
Honest John (Eau Claire, WI)
While this will never substitute for a pole chainsaw, or even a professional manual pole saw, it is fairly straightforward and easy to use. The "trick" I have found is to go slow and steady. You can't really rush the cutting by pulling hard; keep your hands moving and don't try to pull the branch down, let the saw do the work. It's relatively easy, if you are not keeping an eye on things to (1) have the chain invert so that the cutting edge is away from the branch and (2) to have a branch fall on you. The manufacturer has put a metal "tab" on the blade that shows you which side is cutting, so that helps with the first issue. The second is common sense. Also remember that it might be best to make two cuts, one about a foot from the trunk and the second as close to the trunk as possible. This way you reduce the likelihood of tearing bark off the trunk. It's a good saw albeit with limited, specific uses.
 Couldn't get it to work July 15, 2010

Interesting concept. This is pretty much what it seems like - a rope with a saw blade in the middle and a beanbag on the end. I have a dead branch high up in a spruce tree in my backyard, and I thought I could save a few bucks over hiring a tree guy. I was never able to get it over the branch, so I can't say how it cuts. My problem was the branch was too high (around 30') and there were a lot of lower branches in the way, so it kept getting tangled. So if you have a lower branch and a clear shot at it, you might have better luck.
Big help but mixed results. July 14, 2010

Used it to remove dead pine branches 2" in diameter. Branches were 15-20' above ground. This was safer than climbing a ladder and took several tries to get my throw aimed correctly. Was able to cut half way through each branch before the saw jammed. Nevertheless, I was able to pull the branch and break it off with a 20' pruning tool. Because it jammed, I could not give it a better rating.
It does the job July 2, 2010

Definitely recommend this product - it's a much safer than using a ladder to trim branches.

Could not have been made cheaper! Better to get a chain saw blade yourself and just attach a weight and two ropes. Was very saddened at the poor design and quality. Don't even ask about its inability to get the job done!
