About Fiskars 12 Foot Extendable Pole Saw & Pruner, Orange
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
72% praised the sharp and durable blade, but 28% found it dull after a few uses
I used a heavy duty pole to prune a 35 ft+ maple tree.
The saw blade attachment is sharp but buckles easily under pressure.
The blade is made of mild steel and is too short, causing it to flex and bow easily, resulting in a limited cutting surface of about 12 inches.
A straight blade cannot cut a limb, a curved blade is needed for torque.

76% praised the precise cutting angle and control, but 24% found it difficult to adjust
My older saw has two angled settings which make it easier to cut branches.
The blade is mounted on one side due to the pruner attachment, which hinders my ability to get close to the trunk of the tree on that side.
A straight blade cannot cut a limb, as it lacks the necessary torque. A curved blade is required for this purpose.
75% appreciated the comfortable grip and balance, but 25% found it too heavy
The pole is ergonomic to use as it is lightweight and easy to grip.
The slicing mechanism is difficult to use because of the weight of the pole and the need to hold it in one hand while pulling the rope with the other.
74% liked the adjustable and sturdy pole, but 26% found it wobbly
There is a collar that locks the pole to length.
I had a Fiskars pole saw/pruner before and as it aged, it became harder to use as the head separated from the pole regularly and the clamp for the pole adjustment was finicky and hard to adjust so it would slide and also clamp.
I bought it to saw off a branch about 10ft above my head but it simply could not do that.
69% appreciated the built-in safety features, but 31% found them inadequate
The locking clamp can be dangerous and cause finger pinches. My husband and I have experienced this personally.
71% liked the lightweight and portable design
I was unsure if I could handle the pole saw due to my age, but found it to be not too heavy or unwieldy.
The pole is lightweight and easy to grip, which is the best part of the pruner/saw.
I appreciate this manual-pole-saw for being lightweight as I have limited upper arm strength.
