I have one tree that puts out a lot of branches that need to be trimmed 2-3 times a year. New growth branches are easy to cut off.
Neighbor uses a pruner on a pole, just pull the rope and it cuts the branch. It's the
Friskar $32 el cheapo but it works for him - extends to 12 ft. Expensive pruners on a pole are $80 at HD - electric chain saws are $100, but only extend to 9 ft. and may be too heavy for me to handle (8.5 to 10 lbs.)
For what little I would use it, I'm tempted to buy the light weight el cheapo and hope it will do the job for me.
Anyone have experience with different pole saws?
