Review of 27ft vevor pole saw. Pros: Just used it once but impressed. I didn't think it would reach but it did! Insanely long. And it has quite a bit of flex to it but it's seems very strong. Had a branch fall on it while pruning but it did not damage the pole. A little tricky to keep the saw in one spot to cut but to be expected and doable once you get the hang of it. If fully put together it really takes two people to raise it, one braces the handle end and lifts while the other person walks the saw end up till the pole is vertical. You need good upper body strength to use in full extension and can only do so much at a time. But much easier and safer than the alternative of climbing and way, way, cheaper than paying an arborist. Cons: All of the holes that the locking spring loaded pins were supposed to fit into were slightly off, so I used a stout knife and widened one side of the holes so that the spring pins would click into place. Wear gloves because of fiberglass shards. It took about 10-15 minutes to fix them all. Manufacturers defect, they were all out of alignment in exactly the same way. I was out of return window, even if I was in return window it was such a quick fix that I would not have returned it anyway. Rubber end handle slid off, slides right back on though, might glue it on. I didn't use the the lopper part yet but consider it a bonus, as primarily got it for the saw. At under 100$ I am still very happy with it, and willing to forgive its fixable flaws, and still think it deserves 5 stars. I looked at a lot of other extendable pole saws and read a ton of reviews and this one stood out because : 1. it has fiberglass pole instead of aluminum which is more prone to bending. 2. The sections lock securely into place so it cannot collapse, absolutely crucial for proper functioning. 3. If a section of this were to break, you could just remove that section and still have a functional but shorter pole. (Come to think of it... You could theoretically ma
