What's best?  Ratchet _style_?  Or common curved saw?  What about brands? Sandvik?  Florian?  Are the telescoping aluminum poles effective?  Or are the fiber glass poles the best?  Is there an optimal length for normal household pruning? (I have a nasty branch that's maybe 15 feet up there) Finally, what about pricing and the best place to buy? Thanks a treefull. JMK Zone Six, Connecticut

Just a quick look on Sherrills site shows: Pole saw  kit: SETPH4...$129            Marvin head ? Two 6' Jameson hollow fiberglass poles ? Adapter for quick clip-in ? 16' of high strength pruner cord This will give about 15 to 16 feet of height of working ability from the ground. Saw head and blade is: 16 blade with hook.......$16.00 head for same is 12.00 and adapter for head is 11.00 (needed to adapt saw head to pole attachment fitting. Extra 6' poles are 29.00 repair or replacement pole fittings are 10.00 each.  NOw if you want to go to the Champion get a Silkie setup but it will set you back $300.00 plus, really not of any additional value to 99.99% of users, but they are a nice setup.       Foxeye Remove nospam to send email   This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it                                                                                       This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Foxeye don't live at ddyne.com anymore thankyou!
