Customer Review: Saved me $$$$! SAFELY!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was just what I was looking for. I have one of those Pole Saws that have a 14" electric chain saw on the end of an extendable stick but it wasn't long enough to reach the branches that touched the roof, about 25-35 feet up, a maple tree. Getting on a ladder toting this Pole Saw around would be hazzardous.
You can read what other's have said. I'll just post things that impressed me most. I was surprised how quickly this 48" saw cut through branches. If going at a steady rate, it is not a problem to cut down an 8" diameter branch in literally 2 minutes. Great exercise too!!!
Throwing the sand bag up high enough to reach branches greater than 25 feet up can be tricky. Accuracy is decreased when you can't really choose where the sand bag weight goes when you're trying as hard as possible to hurl this little weight with a rope attached to it up in the air. I even tried to throw the weight out the second floor window, felt kind of scary, banged the gutters as well.
Solution: I used an extendable pole for painting (Home Depot) that extends about 25 feet long, duct taped another pole about 8 feet long and then duct taped a light plastic flower pot to the end. Put the weight in the flower pot and carefully lift up the pole to the branch you want to cut and pop the flower pot over the top of the branch and tap it on the branch. The weight will fall out EXACTLY on the spot where you want to cut the branch. Yes, the poles will bend like a fishing pole with a 20 pound large mouth bass on the line, but man, it made cutting the higher branches easier, more accurate, faster and most of all SAFER as I had 2 feet on the ground. You'll be cutting down branches in minutes!
Suggestions:
-use an extendable pole as mentioned above for higher branches.
-give yourself lots of room, move any nearby cars, grills, etc...
-Let the saw do the cutting. Use smooth, long strokes. Do not use too much presure as too much pressure will cause the teeth to bite in too deep and it will snag.
-if you extend the ropes on both ends of the saw, use new nylon rope. I used semi-used laundry line and it will snag on rough bark, which many larger diameter branches may have as the branch gets larger, the bark get's rougher.
-the righting weight is a little light. I have not tried this but it might be an idea once the weight is over the branch, clamp a small set of vise grips on the end of the righting weight to give it more pull to get the teeth on the branch.
-as others have recommended, DO NOT CUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE BRANCH!!!! You may not be able to gauge when the branch is going to fall and also you may have smaller branches on the ground that may trip you as you try to get out of the way of a branch that may potentially weigh several hundred pounds!!!!
-warning-those branches way up high are much larger than they appear. Use caution, you never know where they may land.
For what it is, it works excellent if you give it a chance. Like any tool, it's only as good as the person that uses it. I'm eyeing the huge oak tree next!!!!!!! Firewood anyone????
