So there is no doubt that this is a very good product for the price, however like everything out there there is a caveat
Pro’s
The locking system is good and the product feels pretty robust, the pole’s definitely aren’t flimsy, the saw is sharp and really does bite into branches, however it does take a bit of getting used too at full length.
Cons. The caveat.
At the very longest it does become a little flimsy and takes some extra effort to control and some persistence is required to cut branches.
So, all in all it is very good for the price.
I should point out that I’ve not used another this long before and so for all I know others that are more expensive could exhibit the same characteristics.
More than happy that it has enabled safe working from ground level instead of having to use a ladder and that from a safety point is absolutely spot on.
