Goes together well, pole sections have screw twist ends with locking spring pin. Used with just 3 of the 6 and worked well clipping off small 1/4 to 3/8\" hardwood branches. Clipper is sharp with it's leveraged blade and cuts well. Didn't need to use the saw yet, but are very sharp and look like they will also come in handy for larger branches. The strong thick canvas bag supplied is great for storage. The best thing, no ladder needed and can keep all my trees well groomed :-) easily!
