Customer Reviews for VEVOR Manual Pole Saw,4.6-9.8 ft Extendable Tree Pruner, Sharp Steel Blade for High Branches Trimming, Manual Branch Trimmer with Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Handle, for Pruning Palms and Shrubs

The item is sold with a cutting blade only and as a lopper with a different blade and in different lengths. The shorter ones are telescopic but some have screw-on additional 1m sections. Ours is the 8m lopper and blade and does not telescope.When it first arrived, I thought it was very light. However, once you chain the cutter and a few 1m lengths then it gets very heavy to handle. The lopper is ok for branches up to about an inch (of maple) at any height. The saw's cutting ability depends on height. I did cut about a 3in branch at 6m (always good to mix imperial and metric) but this took a long time. The blade almost got stuck when the branch twisted but did not fall but managed to pull/push/twist the blade free.We bought this as part of cutting down a large (10m) maple that was growing close to the house. We used it to cut the branch ends that overhung the house and it did this well. The rope that comes with it has a nice handle on the end but is only about 3m long so I used an extension rope, shame it’s not included. At 6m, pulling on the rope to pull the lopper really starts to bend the poles so you need to try to keep it straight, so the pull goes into the cut and not bending the pole. It works but can be hard work. Two people, one to hold the pole and one to pull makes it easier.I used it mostly at 4, 5 and 6m and the shorter the better. I did a little work at 7m and it was very heavy. I never used the full 8m and I think it would be very difficult. But I have a spare pole segment ;-) Cutting through a branch with saw or lopper frees the whole weight of the pole up so it is an effort to stop it hitting the ground after it cuts. Beware of it getting away from you if there is something valuable (car, house) nearby.Where it was very good was at 7m hooking over dead oak branches and snapping them off being careful of where they fall!The saw only really works on near horizontal (up to maybe 30 degree) cuts. A branch growing downward or upward would be very difficu

Great for trimming those taller trees in the garden. Also good for grabbing things stuck in the tree such as plastic bags.

The saw is a great product, it has a really sharp blade that makes easy work of branches, it can reach really high and still enable you to saw easily highly recommended

Bought as apresent for my husbands birthday who says " paid for itself the first time i used it"

Tricky to use at extended heightStart with a couple of extensions in place and work up to get a feel of the balanceCord can become tangled so be careful as it will cause the cutting mechanism to become bentBut a very useful toolGood value

It it does a. Great job

If you have a tree buy this, great price.

Great but tough if you put it all together as it is heavy. But it has the reach no doubt.

I liked it came on time

Trimmed down 4, 26ft.plus trees,in a fenced in back yard with every abtacle.work better than i hoped.Be patient let the saw do the work,tap the teeth straight with hammer regularly for easier cutting action.
