Customer Reviews for VEVOR Manual Pole Saw, 2.24 m-8.24 m Extendable Tree Pruner, Sharp Steel Blade and Scissors High Branches Trimming, Branch Trimmer with Lightweight 8 Fiberglass Handles, for Pruning Palms and Shrubs

It is a really light weight saw. It works to trim off the branches that are high. The strokes need to be straight and steady, otherwise it may get stuck. Get your techniques right and it should work as a trimmer.Highly recommended.

Awesome product. Light weight, blade thickness & length just right, telescoping handle makes it highly maneuverable.

It is a good product. Let the weight of gravity do the work when sawing, and it should not bend or break. Please don’t force it when sawing, and don’t extend the pole out to the max to make sure it doesn’t bend at the joints. It you do this, the pole saw will work great!

I was puzzled by the contrast in the reviews: some people hated it, some loved it -- were they reviewing the same product?Yes they were, and I think I can now explain the contrast in opinion. This is 25 ft tool for $70. I think some folks were expecting the lightness and rigidness of lightweight titanium or carbon fiber, but folks, be realistic, it is hard plastic and $70. When extended to 25 ft it starts to bend from its own weight. All this means is that you need some patience and aestheticism in getting the hook at the end on top of the target branch. If you are the clumsy type, this may not be the tool for you. Once the hook is on the branch, the pole is stable and one can concentrate on pulling the rope. The biggest branch I cut was 1 inch in diameter, but one does need some "oomph" to cut branches more than 1/2 inch. Grandma-types may not be able to do this.Finally, there is a small danger here -- while one is marveling at the thickness of the branch just cut, the branch is accelerating towards one's head. I consider myself athletic but I did get "bonked" a few times. Next time I'll invest in a hard-hat.

It's great. Once I got used to it, it's a great product for cutting and sawing out of reach items. I must admit, with all extensions attached (26ft), it's pretty much too difficult to manage - but it can be done with a lot of balancing. The cord for the cutter is also a bit lightweight but that's not a deal breaker. I really like using this product and am going to wear it out with cropping everything not nailed down. I did note that the andle of the saw seems a bit odd, because to saw from 26 feet away, you need the angle to be almost in line, but because it is at an angle, it keeps jambing as you pull down...so just 8 cm strokes.

Worked great for trimming the fence line on the ranch. Didn't have to get into the tractor bucket after purchasing this handy tool.

Use takes a little getting adjusted to. As other reviews say, don't pull or push too hard or fast, and let the weight of the device cut into the branch.I saved probably a few hundred dollars cutting down some limbs by myself, instead of calling a "professional."I am very happy I found this item and purchased it.

I purchased this product to cut the dead fronds from my six 30 foot tall palms. Very easy to use. Blade is exceptionally sharp. Poles extensions are very strong. Extended pole flex at height (6-8metres) so its important to go slow when raising and lowering the pole. Very happy with the purchase as its saved me $200-$300 from calling in a professional arborist.

I also own the 26 foot trimmer and really like it! But this 17 footer I love! The mechanical advantage on the ratcheting lopper makes it incredibly easy to cut larger branches. The saw blade is fierce! The aluminum pole extends effortlessly, locks solidly, is surprising light and still absolutely rigid. This tool is definitely worth a few extra dollars. Professional grade is every respect! Very glad I bought it!

The extension locks appear to work great - very simple. Unit is lightweight and seems easy to manipulate blade in tree limbs
