How do you prune branches and limbs that are just out of reach that would either require a ladder or a full-fledged extendable pole pruner to get the job done? Or conversely, how would you reach into a shrub and prune it to ground level?
Traditional methods, such as using a ladder, can make for unstable and potentially unsafe pruning (without the proper arborist safety equipment), and extendable pole pruners are sometimes heavy/awkward and have exterior ropes that can get hung-up in tree branches or brushy shrubs. I tested an intermediary product from Fiskars that reaches pruning area that are somewhere between 7’ and 10’ off the ground, and on or near the ground (so that you don’t have to bend over or kneel to make the cut). It has a rotating and locking cutting head, is “ropeless,” and should cut through wood up to 1.25-inches in diameter. About Fixed Length Pruners (Stick-Style) Short, stick-style pruners typically range in length from 5’- 6’ and are an excellent way to make pruning cuts when you physically can’t reach the pruning site.
Design Fixed length, short stick pruners usually come in two designs: a fixed shaft with an adjustable cutting head, or a fixed cutting head with blades that can be rotated by spinning the pruning shaft. Fiskars has adopted the first design. Some variants on design include two handles on a single aluminum tube (one in the center of the tube, and one at the end).
And others are a squeeze-handle at the end opposite the cutting head. It comes down to personal choice on whatever works best for the individual and application. Caution Virtually all stick-style pruners are constructed with an aluminum shaft to reduce the weight. A cautionary note, aluminum is an excellent conductor of electricity, so an aluminum stick pruner should never be used around power lines. Cutting Head Cutting heads may have an exposed spring to draw the cutting blade back into the open position once the pruning cut is finished. Other models have these same kinds of spring mechanisms built inside the aluminum shaft, cutting head, or handle at the opposite end of the pruner’s cutting blades.
Most, if not all, have a bypass cutting head, much like the type you see on hand pruners and loppers. Blade Operation These types of shorter designs either incorporate a rope, nylon strap (also known as webbing), or a metal shaft to operate the blades. And virtually all the blade activation pulling mechanisms are incorporated inside the aluminum tube to eliminate exterior ropes, webbing or rods from getting stuck in whatever you’re trying to prune.
Recommended Uses Like all tools, these shorter, fixed length pruners have a specific use. They’re great for pruning above your head (when a ladder is unnecessary), reaching into areas that are hard to get to, eliminating scratches and pokes by thorny plants, and making cuts without kneeling or excessive bending at the knees or waist. Fiskars Pruning Stik in use Handles on the Fiskars Pruning Stik The Fiskars Pruning Stik Tree Pruner (ropeless) has an aluminum shaft that employs a plastic pull handle at the mid-section of the shaft and a plastic ball at the end of the pole (both for activating the cutting blade mechanism).
The handle is a comfortable tubular design that’s flared at the end closest to you. The flare is treated with a rubberized compound that made for an even better grip and stronger pulling power. I found this particularly useful when cutting through really hard wood.
One really nice feature of this handle is that the nylon webbing that acts as the pulling mechanism to activate the blades emanates from the handle area. The design lets you micro-adjust the tension of the nylon webbing. Most webbing (and rope) materials will stretch over time.
This is particularly true if you pull really hard when making pruning cuts. As the webbing stretches, it’s vital to be able to take the slack out of the pulling system. Fiskars’ unique nylon webbing design allows you to do this easily and quickly. And despite the fact that some extra webbing (about 4”) hung from the handle, I found that it never got stuck or tangled on any of the materials I was pruning. The mid-shaft pull handle and rubberized grip make the pruner easy to hold and is perfectly positioned at the middle of the aluminum shaft for shorter pruning cuts. Is It Really “Ropeless”? Fiskars’ packaging highlights the word “ropeless”.
Most of the interior pulling mechanism IS ropeless and uses nylon webbing. However, there is rope in the adjustable cutting head. I believe that rope must be used in this area as the nylon webbing would likely kink and cause binding, thereby rendering the cutting head inoperable. That said, the majority of the pulling mechanism is indeed “ropeless” and lives up to its advertising claim. The blade closing material (a small rope) was neatly incorporated into the cutting head and never came loose, even when I was pruning in some incredibly dense brush. This was also true of the spring that kept the cutting blade in the open position when not in use.
It never loosened or came off even when I jammed it into a shrub to make cuts that would be very difficult with a pair of hand pruners or loppers. Most of the Pruning Stik incorporates nylon webbing, but the cutting head uses a piece of rope to help eliminate the potential binding of the webbing. Locking Mechanism I liked the thumb activated locking mechanism for the cutting head.
It’s located right at the point where the cutting head bends. Just loosen it, move the cutting head/blades into the position you want, and tighten the lock. I really put the tool through some brutal cutting tasks and the head stayed put. I attributed this to the superior locking feature. The orange thumb lock was not only highly visible, but it I could feel the locking mechanism tighten the head into a fixed position. The “feel” of locking the head was distinct, as was the loosening of the lever. In both cases, I knew if the head was locked or not, even without looking at the icons on the head.
The cutting head locking mechanism was extremely well designed. It never loosened up, even when pruning in the densest of pruning areas. Making the Cut The Puning Stik incorporates an “Activating Ball” (Fiskars-speak for a round plastic ball) at the end of the pole opposite the cutting head. It allows you to hold the pruner at arms length while pulling the ball with one hand, thereby activating the cutting head mechanism.
As a result, you can make pruning cuts farther away. The “Activation Ball” was easy to grasp and had a molded plastic tapered tube that slid into a rectangular plastic fitting in the pole shaft.
This kept the ball in place and also kept if from banging around. An easy-to-grasp ball at the end of the Pruning Stik to make those longer pruning cuts.
Cutting The Pruning Stik made very nice cuts in live wood, especially in the ½” to 1” range. Although it’s rated to cut wood up to 1 ¼” in diameter, I found that at that diameter the handle or activation ball was hard to pull and cuts tended to be ragged. Then again, this is true with most of the pruners and loppers I’ve tried so far, where the maximum cutting diameter puts adverse stress on the tool and often results in messy cuts. The Pruning Stik excelled in that middle ground, where a pair of hand pruners would be too small and loppers too big.
In my test, I found that the cleanest pruning cuts were made when the non-cutting blade (also known as the “counter blade”) was on the top of the limb/branch and the cutting blade on the bottom. Maximum diameter cuts taxed the pruner and often made ragged cuts.
But this is true for most pruners and loppers when they are asked to cut material at the limits of their pruning range. Blade Spread When Cutting Deadwood Another thing I discovered about the Pruning Stik is “blade- spread.” It happens primarily when cutting deadwood, especially when cutting on an angle. The piece of the deadwood spreads the blades apart and gets caught between the blades, resulting in the blades getting stuck in the closed position with the two blades held apart by the wood. Then again, this isn’t an issue specifically related to the Pruning Stik. Bypass pruners and loppers are best used with live wood, rather than deadwood, and we’ve seen this issue with most of the bypass cutting blades we’ve tested here at the Gardening Products Review. The best solution is to use an anvil pruner instead. Blade spread while cutting through deadwood.
This happens to virtually all types of bypass pruners/loppers at one time. Rotational Cutting Head One of the most outstanding design features was the rotational cutting head that folds over in both directions. In one direction it bent 180 degrees and in the other 60 degrees, making for an impressive 240 degrees of head rotation. The locking mechanism keeps the cutting head in whatever position you place it. This let me angle the head for literally any cutting position I needed. I found that the 60 degree “off-center” provided additional flexibility when pruning shrubs to the ground and kept the cutting blades out of the dirt.
The 180 degree rotational head made for easy transport and storage by keeping the sharp blades tucked against the shaft. Its full range of motion from 0 degrees to 180 degrees made it ideal for adjusting the angle to make proper pruning cuts. Potential Problem With Older Models So, lots of good stuff for sure, but here’s where I ran into a problem. After several hours of pruning, I then used the Pruning Stik to cut some shrubs to ground level. When I forced the cutting head into a thickly branched shrub and pulled the “Activation Ball,” nothing happened. Puzzled, I pulled the head out of the shrub only to find that the quick-link (just like a bicycle chain) had been dislodged by the dense brush.
Literally, a chain link had fallen out of the “Power-Stroke” (another Fiskars trademarked name) chain drive that is attached to the cutting head. I discovered that the retaining clip that holds the two sections of steel bicycle-style chain together easily slipped off, rendering the pruner inoperable. Cutting in dense brush, where the old style quick-link chain link met with problems. When I called Fiskars to explain the problem, they sent me a replacement unit immediately. This replacement unit used a different chain link to secure the Power-Stroke chain to the pruning blade and it worked flawlessly – there’s no way that chain is going to fall apart. So if you buy a Fiskars Pruning Stik, which chain link will you end up with? Fiskars confirmed for me that this new linkage system is what’s currently being manufactured.
There may still be some of the older models on the shelf at home improvement store or garden centers, but Fiskars confirmed that any old style linkages (using retaining clips) are covered under the Fiskars warrantee and will either be replaced with the new style chain link or the whole Pruning Stik will be replaced (at Fiskars’ discretion). I have to give Fiskars’ customer service and product development folks a heck of a lot of credit for listening to my feedback and responding so quickly. The new chain link design is already in production at the manufacturer. I experienced no problems. It worked flawlessly!
Blades and Replacement Parts I found that the cutting blade was extremely sharp and stayed that way after hundreds of cuts in both live and dead wood. By the time I had finished my testing, the blade was as sharp as when it came out of the original packaging. Hard to believe, but true.
Fiskars claims that they employ, “fully hardened, precision-ground steel blades that stay sharp, even through heavy use”. I can certainly attest to the fact that they do indeed stay sharp through heavy use.
Having said that, it’s still important to sharpen the blade from time to time to maintain blade sharpness. The duller the blade, the more risk for improper cuts.
It also takes more physical strength to pull the handle or “Activation Ball” when blades are dull. Be aware that if you do sharpen the blades, the blades are no longer covered under the warranty. If you’re unable to or uncertain about sharpening pruner blades, Fiskars offers a replacement blade kit for $12.99 plus shipping. If the cutting head is damaged, they also offer a complete replacement head assembly for $17.99 plus shipping. Both can be found.
Low Friction Coating Really Works Fiskars also claims that the blades are coated with a “low friction” coating that helps prevent the blades from gumming up and sticking together between cuts. I couldn’t evaluate the coating itself but I was impressed as I cut my way through a lot of Brittle Bush. This shrub (native to the Southwest) exudes a really nasty, gummy, sticky sap after each pruning cut (sort of the consistency of wood glue). The Pruning Stik had no problem slicing through this material without binding. Weight This cool tool weights less than 2 lbs. I weighed mine to check and it weighed exactly 1 lb.
I found it very light and easy to work with. Its power to weight ratio was excellent. And when hauling this baby miles into the wilderness to prune hiking trails, weight really matters. I strapped it to my backpack and hardly knew it was there. Recommendation I have to admit, this is one of my favorite short stick-style pruners.
It’s strong, nimble, lightweight, makes precision cuts and held up to most of the toughest pruning I could put it through. I really liked the locking pruning head; it stayed put and gave me a great deal of flexibility whether pruning above my head or at ground level. The blades stayed factory sharp, the cutting head spring stayed in place, the “Activation Ball” and center of the stick handle were perfectly placed and designed, and the range of motion of the cutting head was awesome. All in all a great tool. Where to Buy The Fiskars Pruning Stik can be purchased online through the Fiskars website, as well as in hardware store such as Home Depot and True Value. The retail price is $49.99 (shipping charges may apply).

We don’t recommend that homeowners work within 10 feet of any power lines.
If you need to prune anything closer to a power line of any kind, it’s best to hire a professional arborist with electrical hazard training. If you’ll be doing it yourself (and outside the 10 foot distance), you can find fiberglass poles that have been tested to show that they don’t conduct electricity.
Generally, you’ll have to buy the pole separately from the cutting head. You’ll find these kinds of tools at arborist supply outlets (I wouldn’t buy it from a big box store).
If you’ve been to a county fair lately, then chances are you know all too well that anything tied to a stick is a good idea, right? Well, that’s what I thought years ago when I first used a pole saw, and I’ve only grown to love them even more over the years! With the goal of setting out to share my love of pole saws and all things landscaping-related with others in desperate need of experienced and, I’ve put dozens of pole saws to the test to make sure I only recommend the best pole pruner for each reader. So, if you’re tired of reading subpar pole saw reviews and ready to leverage my years of landscaping experience to discover the best pole saw for you while learning some practical tips along the way, go ahead and dive right in! The Remington RM1025SPS and RM1015SPS are well-made and powerful electric pole saws designed to light to moderate residential use. Featuring 8-amp motors that produce 1.5 horsepower and oversized 10-inch bars and chains, these first-class pole saws can cut through tree limbs up to nine inches in diameter and chop through smaller branches with ease.
As one of the most capable electric pole saws on the market today, it’s a great option if you’re looking for the perfect combination of power and ease of use. What’s really cool about the Remington RM1025SPS and RM1015SPS is the fact that you can attach and detach the saw whenever you want, making them some of the most versatile pole saws out there. When it comes to maintenance, this Remington is a dream. Since there is no oil to check, spark plugs to clean, gas to fill, and so on, there is virtually no maintenance at all.
While it’s a little heavy at the saw end and takes a little practice getting used to, it’s a great all-around electric pole saw and a pleasure to use. The Remington RM1025SPS/RM1015SPS checks all of the boxes.
It’s reliable, powerful, easy to use, and certainly affordable. Although there are some awesome electric pole saws out there to choose from, this popular model gets my vote for being one of if not the best electric pole saw being made today. If you have a large yard with a number of tall trees, it may not be for you. However, if your yard is small and easily manageable with a high-quality piece of corded lawn care equipment, look no further than this Remington. Weighing only eight pounds, the SunJoe SWJ800E Electric Pole Chain Saw is one of the lightest electric pole saws around, making it much easier and a lot less tiring to handle than many other pole saws on the market. While nimble and lightweight, the SunJoe also benefits from a powerful 61/2-amp motor and eight-inch Oregon bar and chain. Of course, like any quality pole saw, it also has an adjustable telescoping pole that extends nearly nine feet.
Although the saw of the SunJoe isn’t detachable from the pole, it does feature an automatic oiler, which is a nice addition not typically found on many electric pole saws. While oil comes with the SunJoe, as is the case with most electric pole saws, you’ll need to buy more for proper routine maintenance.
In the end, the SunJoe SWJ800E Electric Pole Chain Saw isn’t the longest electric pole saw available and doesn’t get mentioned in many electric pole saw reviews, but it’s an above-average electric saw with an affordable price tag and a track record of performance. The Earthwise CVPS41008 2-in-1 Electric Chainsaw/Pole Saw Combo is one of the best priced pole saws available and features a detachable electric saw just like the Remington above. Unlike the Remington, however, this pole saw comes equipped with a standard eight-inch Oregon bar and can extend to nearly 10 feet in length, which makes it better suited for those with smaller trees to prune. That being said, this mighty little Earthwise is considerably lightweight, features three cutting angles, and has enough power and size to cut limbs up to six inches in diameter.
In other words, the Earthwise CVPS41008 2-in-1 Electric Chainsaw/Pole Saw Combo is a great value and great option for anyone with pint-sized yards and budgets. If you’re looking for the most powerful pole saw on the block, the Earthwise CVPS41008 2-in-1 ElectricChainsaw/Pole Saw Combo isn’t it. On the other hand, if you’re on the hunt for an affordable, lightweight, and well-made model with plenty of cutting power for most ordinary trimming jobs, it may be just the pole saw you’ve been hoping to find. With a 61/2-amp electric motor and an eight-inch bar and chain, it hasample power to trim larger limbs and tree branches up to six inches in diameter.
This Earthwise pole saw is quite lightweight and nimble as well. Combined with its adjustable telescopic pole, this pole saw is extremely easy for almost anyone to use. Best of all, it’s saw is designed to detach and operate all on its own just like the more expensive Remington. Although it has a little less power and reach, the Earthwise CVPS41008 2-in-1 Electric Chainsaw/Pole Saw Combo has all of the same important featuresas costlier electric pole saws, making it a winner in my book. If you’re looking for something budget-friendly and a corded electric pole saw works for your needs, the Earthwise CVPS41008 2-in-1 Electric Chainsaw/Pole Saw Combo is one of the most affordable options you’ll find with adequate cutting power. As long as you have an extension cord and access to a 110V power outlet, this light and thoughtfully made pole saw is likely all you need to prune and trim nuisance limbs around your yard.
For the money, there’s no other electric pole saw better than this Earthwise. If you want a powerful Husqvarna gas pole chain saw but would like a more affordable option, the Husqvarna 128LDX may be for you.
The mid-range 128LDX features a two-stroke 28cc engine that doesn’t provide thesame amount of horsepower or torque as the professional-grade 327PT5S above, but I’ve found it has more than enough power to make short work of almost any cutting task. What really sets the Husqvarna 128LDX apart, however, is its detachable and customizable attachment system. Specially made to be compatible with a multitude of accessories and attachments, this versatile pole saw can be totally customized to suit your needs. From trimmer and edger heads to brooms and chain saws, you name it and the 128DLX probably has an attachment for it.
Needless to say, if you’re looking for not just a pole saw but an indispensable all-in-one gardening tool, look no further than this Husqvarna. The Husqvarna 128LDX is powered by a 28cc gas-powered engine that generates an impressive 1.1 horsepower, making it more than capable of easily and cleanly lopping off limbs of all thickness with a single cut. Weighing in at just under 14 pounds, this power-packed pole saw is lighter than most gas-powered pole saws, which makes it easier to use as well.
Unlike the brand’s professional models, like the 327PT5S above, the Husqvarna 128DLX features a shorter 9-foot extendable pole, but it’s still more than capable of reaching most branches and saving you a pretty penny in tree service fees. Best of all, the 128DLX has an innovative attachment system, allowing you to turn into virtually any lawn maintenance device you need. All things considered, it’s a wonderful, reasonably priced gas-powered pole saw that can just about do it all. What else could you ask for? 2.Troy-Bilt PS720 Add-On Pole Saw If you already own a Troy-Bilt string trimmer, the PS270 add-on pole saw is a no-brainer option as far as I’m concerned. Capable of being used with any of the brand’s EZ-Link power equipment, this pole saw attachment features an eight-inch bar and chain, seven-foot pole, and automatic oiling system, making it just as capable as any gas-powered pole saw on the market.
While it lacks an engine and requires a compatible trimmer to power it, the cutting abilities and customization possibilities of this pole saw are second to none. Since the Troy-Bilt the PS270 is an attachment, a compatible Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or Remington trimmer is required. However, when paired with a compatible trimmer, some of which feature powerful 29cc four-stroke motors, this pole saw has ample cutting power. In fact, it can cut through limbs up to six inches in diameter with effortless ease at only half throttle. Like most quality pole saws, the Troy-Bilt PS270 is equipped with an auto oiling system to keep the bar and chain well-lubricated. On the downside, the length of this pole saw attachment is a relatively short eight feet, giving the average person a maximum reach of twelve feet without the use of a ladder. When all is said and done, the PS270 is a wise option if you already own a compatible trimmer or are thinking about going the all-in-one equipment route.
However, if you don’t already own one of these trimmers, there are less expensive options out there complete with a motor, pole, saw, and everything you need to start trimming right out of the box. If you’re already the proud owner of a Troy-Bilt gas-powered trimmer equipped with the EZ-Link system,then this pole saw is by far the best way to go. That being said, if you’re sick of littering your garage with hundreds of dollars of lawn equipment and plan on simplifying your equipment cache by going for the increasingly popular all-in-on option, this pole saw is an excellent value. If you’re on the fence, get it today.
With a two-year warranty on this and other Troy-Bilt products, you really have nothing to lose. Husqvarna 327PT5S Pole Saw Gas powered pole saws are the most powerful types of pole saws on the market, and the Husqvarna 327PT5S is arguably the most powerful gas pole saw available.
With a two-stroke 24 cc engine capable of putting out 1.2 horsepower, the Husqvarna 327PT5S Pole Saw has enough power to tackle any trimming task. In addition to its power, however, this mighty pole saw enjoys an extra-long reach and a number of smart design features as well.
Combined with its powerful motor and lightweight, well-balanced design, this makes the Husqvarna 327PT5S the best gas powered pole saw your hard-earned money can buy. The Husqvarna 327PT5S Pole Saw utilizes a powerful two-stroke 24cc gasoline engine capable of generating up to 1.2 horsepower for maximum cutting power. Thanks to its two-stroke design, the Husqvarna 327PT5Sis able to achieve a higher maximum RPM, resulting in higher chain speed and increased cutting ability. Not only does it have enough to torque to cut through large limbs, but the professional-grade pole saw also features an extra-long 12-inch bar and chain, allowing it to cut through thick tree limbs faster than any other saw out there. Despite being gas powered, a little heavier, and requiring additional maintenance, I find this Husqvarna to be one of the easiest pole saws to use. With an extra-long telescoping pole, oversized 12-inch bar and chain, automatic oiler, air purge system, and more, there’s not a lot about this pole saw not to like. While it’s a more expensive option and truly only ideal for professional landscapers or people with large yards and lots of trees, the performance aspects of the Husqvarna 327PT5S can’t be denied.
Best Cordless Pole Saw Reviews 1.Black and Decker LPP120 Cordless Pole Saw There’s a reason why the Black & Decker LPP120 Cordless Pole Saw is recommended in nearly all cordlesspole saw reviews. Thanks to this lightweight and nimble pole saw, you can leave the extension cord and gas can in the garage and tackle a variety of challenging overhead cutting tasks. Whether you’re pruning high hanging branches or tall trees and shrubs, this mighty little cordless pole saw has the power, maneuverability, and control you need to get trimming jobs done right.
The shaft of the Black & Decker LPP120 is 61/2 feet and 10 feet when fully extended, allowing you to reach limbs and branches up to 15 feet above the ground. At a smidge over six pounds, it’s incredibly lightweight and easy to control. Meanwhile, its 8-inch bar and chain can easily and cleanly cut through branches up to six inches across.
It’s not the biggest and baddest pole saw on the block, but if you’re looking for an effective, eco-friendly, and easy-to-use cordless tree trimmer, this Black & Decker may be for you. Cordless pole saws are not known for their power, but the 20-volt Black & Decker LPP120 Cordless Pole Saw has more cutting power than many of the 18-volt alternatives currently available on the market. With an 8-inch bar and chain, it can cleanly cut branches up to six inches or more in diameter. The LPP120 is one of the lightest pole saws out there as well. At only 6.3 pounds, it’s much lighter than many of the other electric, gas, and corded models, which typically weigh 10 pounds or more. Along with its ergonomically designedhandle, low noise, and even lower vibration, this makes the LPP120 a dream to use.
While it lacks an automatic oiling system like some of the other pole saws above, this popular cordless saw requires virtually no other maintenance. In fact, all you have to do is keep the batteries charged and you’re good to go. With a decent maximum reach of 10 feet, hundreds of rave reviews, and a reputation for reliability as well, there are a number of reasons to choose this Black & Decker for your tree trimming needs. 2.Earthwise CPS40108 Cordless Pole Saw Like Black & Decker, Ear thwise is known for making top-quality cordless lawn equipment, so I wasn’t surprised to find the brand’s CPS40108 Cordless Pole Saw an absolute delight to use. While it features the same 18-volt motor as nearly every other cordless chain saw out there and has a telescopic pole that only extends to reach up to nine feet overhead, it has a number of neat features that make it easy to use and more than capable of trimming a wide variety of branches and shrubbery.
The Earthwise CPS40108 Cordless Pole Saw utilizes an 18-volt power system and an eight-inch bar capable of cutting branches up to six inches in diameter, making it a solid choice for smaller trimming jobs. While it weighs 8.4 pounds, which is a little heavier than other cordless models, it still feels very lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Since the weight of the battery helps even out the weight on the saw end, it actually feels much more well-balanced than most corded electric pole saws. The CPS40108 is also quite durable and requires almost no maintenance.
If theirs is one negative to point out with this saw, it’s the fact that it utilizes a Ni-Cad battery, giving it a run time of 30 minutes rather than an hour. Aside from this and the overall performance of the similarly priced Black & Decker above, there’s almost no reason not to choose this Earthwise pole saw for all of your around the house tree trimming needs. The GreenWorks 20672 G-MAX Cordless Pole Saw comes loaded with features that make it stand out in a packed field of competitors. While there are many aspects of this pole saw that really make it shine, its powerful 40-volt battery system is definitely its standout feature. Thanks to this cutting-edge battery system, the 20672 G-MAX Cordless Pole Saw has an amazing run time of two to three hours, depending on the intensity of the work involved.
That’s more than twice as long as any other cordless pole saw on the market! Of course, like any quality pole saw, this attractive GreenWorks model also comes equipped with a number of helpful features, such as the automatic oiling and chain tensioning systems, making it a breeze to own and operate. It may be a little more expensive than many of the other cordless pole saws out there, but if you want the freedom and ease of use of a cordless saw with the power and performance of a corded or gas model, this is the one for you. Types of Pole Saws Like lawnmowers and other home and garden products, there’s a wide variety of pole saws on the market these days. Pole saws, which started out as nothing more than chainsaws connected to extended poles, have become increasingly popular in the lawn and garden world.
There are many things to consider when buying a pole saw, but you first need to determine the type of pole saw you want. Therefore, let’s take a look at the four types of pole saws available on the market today. Manual Pole Saws As pole saws in their most basic form, manual pole saws have attached blades that can extend to cut tree limbs and other hard-to-reach brush, but they require good old-fashioned manual effort to get the job done. While still used by a few landscapers and homeowners today, manual pole saws aren’t nearly as popular as other types of pole saws due to the time and effort involved in completing larger wood cutting tasks. However, if you’re looking for the most affordable options for learning or taking care of minor and infrequent trimming around the house, manual pole saws are often a great choice.
Electric Pole Saws Corded electric pole saws are virtually maintenance-free and extremely easy to operate, making them a great choice for homeowners with smaller to average-size yards. In addition to being lightweight and easy to run, electric pole saws are much quieter than gas pole saws and have more power than cordless pole saws, making them a happy medium often settled upon by homeowners. Unfortunately, due to their cords, electric pole saws have a limited operating distance of approximately 100 feet. They’re also not as powerful as gas-powered models. Cordless Pole Saws Cordless pole saws are by far the most convenient and are getting better and better all the time. Typically equipped with lithium-ion battery packs, cordless pole saws can operate almost anywhere and their run times are usually sufficient for small jobs around the house.
That being said, extra battery packs are always a wise idea with anything cordless and will definitely be necessary for larger trimming jobs. While less powerful than corded electric or gas-powered models, they have a quieter operation which makes neighbors happy as well. Gas-Powered Pole Saws Rounding out the types of pole saws available on the market today, gas-poweredpole saws are the most powerful and made for heavy-duty trimming work. Designed to operate for hours on end each and cut through thicker branches, gas-powered pole saws are great for professional landscapers or anyone who doesn’t mind keeping their spare gas can filled up.
On the downside, gas pole saws are heavier, louder, and more costly than electric models, so they’re certainly not ideal for everyone. However, if you’re a landscaper or have a large property in need of constant maintenance, a gas-powered pole saw is definitely the way to go. Electric Pole Saw: These Are Our Top Choices If you are a handy person and you would like to get a new handy tool, then you need the best electric pole saw that you can afford. When it comes to looking for the best electric pole saws it is important to note that the reach, blade and efficiency should be considered. We have reviewed the best of the best when it comes to electric pole saws. If you want to get yourself a new electric pole saw then don’t be shy and look into the options that we provide.
Nowadays, electric pole saws are so popular because you can just plug them into an extension cord and you will be trimming trees. They are still designed for small trimming work.

Why You Should Invest in a Pole Saw Normal yardwork is one thing, but once you get into pruning wood high off the ground, you’re entering dangerous territory. Pole saws are designed to make it easy to trim limbs and shrubs you can’t safely reach from the ground. Truthfully, there are a lot of reasons to invest in a pole saw, but let’s take a look at some of the most important. Safety It’s much safer to use a pole saw than it is to try and tackle a tree without one. By being able to utilize a small and lightweight chainsaw at the end of an extended pole, you can safely stand sure-footed on the ground while cutting or pruning branches above.
This allows you to avoid trying to climb trees or use a ladder for pruning and cutting tasks. Most quality pole saws also feature ergonomical pole chain saw reviewsly designed handles with anti-vibration properties, making them extra comfortable and easy to handle. You can learn how to make pruning with pole saw even safer Convenience Pole saws are by far more convenient than having to utilize ladders, climbing equipment, and large chainsaws that take two hands to operate while dangling from a tree. However, thanks to the rise of cordless pole saws in recent years, pole saws are now more convenient than ever before. With modernbattery packs capable of holding longer charges and adding little to no extra weight, cordless pole saws are super convenient to say the least. Cost Despite their ingenuity and cutting power, pole saws are rather affordable pieces of lawn care equipment.
In fact, with prices ranging from $39-$249, they’re comparatively priced to weed eaters. Ifyou’ve ever used a tree service before, then you know you can make back your pole saw investment with just one use, so there’s no reason why any home owner with a yard full of trees should go without one. Pole Saws may be handy, but like any cutting tool, they can be quite dangerous as well. More often than not, pole saws come with instructional booklets. It’s important to read through the booklet before operating your pole saw for the first time in order to ensure proper usage. Before operating the pole saw, you should inspect it to make sure it’s in good operating condition and safe to use. Then, clear the area between yourself and the tree and keep in mind the potentially hazard of falling limbs if you’re trimming directly overhead.
After inspecting the pole saw and clearing any possible obstructions underneath the tree limb you are felling, you need to plan your cuts. Even the removal of a single limb typically requires a number of preliminary cuts and jump cuts prior to making the final cut.
When cutting branches, limbs, and so on, most of the time the blade should start at the top. When making a jump cut, however, you will want to start the blade and cut from underneath the limb. Since gravity isn’t on your side, this can be quite physically taxing, so it’s important to keep the weight of a pole saw in mind when making a purchasing decision. Now, back on the topic of using a pole saw.
With two hands, position the saw pole saw vertically and keep it in that position for a second to control its weight. Then, adjust the position of the saw to the cutting spot and rest its weight on the limb. With the saw resting in place, position yourself so you’re standing to the side of the limb and not underneath it while holding the pole saw at chest level. If you have an adjustable pole that can extend as needed, you may have to lengthen it in order to achieve a safe cutting angle. Slowly and in control, begin cutting perpendicular to the limb and try to make the first cuts sink into the wood as much as possible, even if you need to go in a different direction with the rest of your cuts. The basic idea is to make a groove in the wood that will guide you later and allow you to make faster cutting strokes. It’s perfectly normal for the saw to slip sideways in the beginning when cutting sloped branches.
Simply readjust the saw if this occurs. When the branch gets to the point where it looks like it may fall, be ready to retreat quickly and safely if need be. Pole saws make cutting out-of-reach branches, vines, and brush super easy, so there’s not much more to it than that. That being said, we didn’t go over jump cuts, so here’s a great video that fully explains how to properly use a pole saw when trimming a tree.
Pole Saws: What to Look For From power sources and motor sizes to telescoping poles and anti-vibration systems, there are a lot ofthings to consider when shopping for pole saws. However, if you really want to find the best pole saw for you, your home, and your budget, here are some key considerations to keep in mind: Price Like lawnmowers, weed eaters, and other types of lawn care or maintenance equipment, pole saws come in a wide variety of prices according to the features they provide. Most basic manual pole saws sell for under $100 and some gas-powered or electric models can sell for $200 or more, so you can rest assured there’s a pole saw out there for your budget. Power While it’s nice having options and different types of pole saws to consider, there are noticeable power differences between the four major pole saw varieties. Therefore, it’s important to take the power of different pole saws into consideration as well. Warranty Many of the top pole saw brands offer full or limited warranties on their products, but the warranty terms and lengths vary greatly.
Since the cost of repairing a pole saw can be almost as much as purchasing a new one, it’s wise to go with a model with a longer warranty if you’re having a hard timemaking a decision. Bar Length The bar is the area the chain travels around, so the longer the bar, the more cutting ability a pole saw will have.
Most pole saws come with eight-inch bars, but some six-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch models are also available. Pole Saw Features Some key features to consider when shopping for a pole saw are telescoping poles, lightweight and easy-to-maneuver designs, self-lubricating chains, and anti-vibration systems.
Without these features, trimming and pruning hard-to-reach places would be much more difficult and dangerous. How We Picked Pole saws exist to perform one simple job: make clean, straight cuts of tree branches and other foliage in high hard-to-reach places.
Aside from poor design, which makes tree trimming and pruning dangerous, uneven cuts expose trees to insects and potential diseases, increases the chances of rot, and makes it more difficult for trees and plants to heal. Knowing this, we wanted to find pole saws that could reliably and cleanly cut straight through every branch and stem we could find. When choosing the best pole saws above, the first criterion we looked at was saw quality and cutting power. In most cases, the longer the saw and thicker the chain, the better it can cut. Therefore, we made it a point to look for pole saws with stronger chains made out of carbon or high-tempered steel. We also wanted to find pole saws with enough power to tackle a wide variety of trimming and pruning tasks, because a weak pole saw is a useless pole saw as far as I’m concerned. Beyond strong chains and cutting power, we wanted to find pole saws with great overall designs that allow them to be operated comfortably and efficiently.
With self-lubricating chains, telescopic and lengthy extendable poles, anti-vibration systems, and more, it was easy to find awesome pole saws packed full of thoughtful and smart design features. While we also looked at things like availability of replacement parts, we took our own experience with the pole saws and the experiences of others into consideration as well. Not only did we put them through the ringer, but we chose popular pole saws that plenty of others also put to the test.
