What a deal! I do not write many reviews, but this little purchase warrants a good review. Purchased this for new growth on my Bradford pear tree that was too high up for me to reach and knew I wanted/needed some type of pole saw, or whatever you call it. Also knew I did not want to spend much because I would not need it often. Bought this and could not be happier! Took about 3 minutes or less to put together, great extension, blade was just right for the job I needed. It is not a heavy duty saw by any means and is not meant for hard use. But perfect for reaching those smaller branches and used with precision. I love this thing!!!
