Hooyman Extendable Tree Saw with Compact Design, Detachable Handsaw and Telescoping Pole, No-Slip H-Grip, Impulse Hardened Teeth, and Wrist Lanyard for Tree Trimming, Hunting, Camping, and Outdoors

This thing is very compact and can fit in my backpack for those first sits in my stands for the season. Branches tend to sag or grow in the way over the summer and it is great to have something on hand to get rid of them. It is very sharp and easy to use. It can be extended one section at a time to make the length fit whatever is needed. I was very surprised by the reach of this once it was fully extended. If I lose this one I will buy another. Great tool.

Cuts branches great

BACKGROUND: After retiring to Florida in 2013, in 2021 I ended up on a tiny property with nine Palm Trees, some over 25' tall. What a MESS THEY WERE !!!!! The former owner had not touched them in years. I hired a crew to come in and clean them up, trim them and get them ready for Hurricane Season. Almost $1,000 ( but they also got them in great shape and hauled away a Mountain of Palm Tree $#%&, so just one of those "Joys" of home ownership. I thought: "Now I will be able to 'maintain' them". I just needed a pole saw... **SHOPPING**: I looked and looked all over on-line ( HD, Lowe's, Ace, Amazon and some specialty lawn&garden websites ). It took some looking. I had been told Exactly what to get, including that it HAD to have the short 'Claw' at the bottom of the curved blade !!!. I finally settled on the 14' Hooyman Extendable 3-Section Tree Saw. I have used it for six months now and it just WORKS and WORKS REALLY WELL !!!!! The pole extends easily, but is still solid enough that I can easily slice off some really big 3" stuff, sometimes in just 3 or 4 sharp pulls with the blade ( and Palm Trees are TOUGH ) !!! THE BLADE: That Curved Blade, Hook at the Tip and 'Claw' at the bottom is CRAZY GOOD !!!! AMAZING !!!! Really Sharp, it is Stainless Steel and doesn't Rust !!!! The Teeth have just the right Shapes and Sets, for what I need and it seems to be holding up VERY WELL - Still Razor Sharp after 40 ? - 50 ? Cuts through Heavy Palm ( 50 Lb Seed "Pods", palm fronds, branches ? stalks ? - I don't know the names ), but all of the other $#%& that these trees throw off monthly !!!! Awful, Filthy, Messy Trees - GREAT POLE SAW !!!! Can't say enough about HOW GOOD IT HAS BEEN !!!! I've had (cheap) lopping/pruning pole saws in the past - all pretty much junk. THIS SAW IS ***FANTASTIC***. I'm sorry that replacement blades are not offered, but ( IF ) mine eventually gets to where it is taking a lot more work to cut, I will take it to a Pro and let them re-sharpen it !!!! - Don -

Works great, but expect a shoulder workout!

Used this to get some tree limbs off our power line. Worked well. So, I went to pruning other trees. Had a Hackberry that had split and was threatening to crush a fence. Limbed it first and then cut through the trunk which was maybe 6" dia. Then I attacked the Hackberry over the camper. These nasty trees grow really fast and expel this nasty black stuff all over everything. Useless tree. I was able to give that tree a severe hair cut and get the branches cut farther back.Today I am headed out to help a friend with and Oak. Most of it will be chainsaw work, but some above the house will need trimming. He asked me if I had gotten my pole saw I had ordered, and how well it had performed. He asked me if it was running? Told him that it runs all day long, fuel is not a problem. He asked if the blade was still sharp? Told him those Hackberry's are real soft wood and didn't dull it a bit. He asked how far it would reach? Bout 14 foot and whatever your body height is. He offered to buy oil and gas for it, told him don't bother. Won't be needing either. He said "I thought you said your pole saw was running?"......I said "Yes, it is....all day long, as long as YOU can keep sawing!" ...............LOL! He's headed to the store to buy another 10" bar and chain for his electric pole saw. Guess he just won't take my word for how well this saw actually cuts.

No

I bought this to saw off branches of my huge Jacaranda tree overhanging my roof, but I found out it doesn't work when the branches are skinny and flimsy. The flimsy branches bounce around and very difficult to cut because of it using this sawing type action. I ended up using my old reliable telescoping tree pole pruner which has the scissor like blades cutting the branches by pulling the rope. So, if the branches aren't thicker and heavier, you're still better off using the telescoping tree pole pruner instead. Keep this in mind before deciding which type of branch trimmer to buy.

I keep this in my car because we live in the mountains and if trees go down it gives me a way to be able to solve branches and get through. It’s small and compact and does not rely on gas or electric and only manpower. You’re not gonna cut through a huge tree but he might be able to get through some branches to help you move through.

Parfait pour ma vieille pole hooyman 15 ' qui est un modèle d'une douzaine d'année.
