 Quite pleased with this purchase Sep 26, 2009
By James Phares
"Jim"
I went looking for a pole saw because branches were rubbing on my roof and hitting my gutters. I found a few at a local hardware store, which the salesperson described as hard to use, then he tried to steer me toward buying either an electric or gas-powered pole-mounted chainsaw. I don't trim trees often, so I wanted to avoid the expense of and maintenance on a chainsaw. However, the manual pole saws they carried were all a brand I had never heard of, heavier than I wanted, and priced comparably with this Fiskars, so I decided to buy it from Amazon. I was pleased that this saw was significantly lighter, and that the replaceable Woodzig blade is an aggressive cutter -- it doesn't require a lot of weight on the blade, although I found a rapid jab-tug worked best to keep branches from swaying back and forth. I also debated buying the model that's just a saw, but having the pruner for smaller branches (which aren't stiff enough to saw efficiently) is well worth the extra money and weight. I haven't used this tool long enough to speak definitively about how the extension lock holds up over time, but I found it easy to use and it did not slip. This tool was much easier to use than expected, and I have no doubts that the decision to order this model rather than what the local store stocked was a good one.
I also want to make an observation based on other pole saw reviews I've read. I've read complaints about blades binding and how dangerous falling branches are, leading me to suspect that people were sawing on branches directly above them. That's not how you should use a pole saw; you should extend it so that you're standing off to the side and cut on the top of branches rather than their side. This technique results in the weight of the branch opening your cut rather than pinching the blade, and when the branch falls you aren't underneath it.

If you have problems, you are not using the tool correctly. Aug 30, 2010
By Keith G.
After reading the reviews I thought I would buy this tool because it was longer than the one in my local hardware store and since there were only 3 reviews out of 21 that did not give it a good rating I assumed those individuals were not using the tool correctly.
My pruner came today and the first thing I did was check the pole extension and durability. Sure enough the extension part of the pole was easily moved even when the lever was in the "lock" position. Since this was the reason for one of the bad reviews I inspected the mechanism to see if anything could be done. With a simple adjustment to the bolt secured by the nylon locking nut I was able to adjust the lock to the point where I could no longer move the extension when it was in the "lock" position (about 1 full rotation of the bolt on the locking nut).
Next was the saw blade. There were no instructions on how to tighten the blade so I put the pin in the first hole and secured the blade. It was very difficult to saw with the blade attached this way. Again after inspection the blade could be tightened on a second hole which made the blade straighter on the pole. After this adjustment I was easily able to cut through a 3-4 inch tree branch with not much effort.
The pruner blade easily was able to cut a branch that filled the entire opening of the metal hook that holds the branch. The rope did stretch a little but not much more than would be expected for a nylon rope.
Bottom line is this tool will do exactly what is expected of it with a few minor adjustments. It is well worth the money and performs its job very well.

 This model is better than their next 'step up' May 30, 2009
By Avidreader
I first bought the more expensive "3X power" 15ft trimmer which has a much more engineered look. The shear cutter required tremendous effort to cut a one inch branch. I returned it and bought this model figuring that I'd at least save money even if it cut the same...! It cost 35% less and cuts 100% better than their more expensive model. Better send that mechanical design engineer back to school.

Saws easily Jan 18, 2011
By Noname
Until got it right, I thought this Fiskars Power-Lever Tree Pruner was impossible for my weakling arms to handle. Now that I've figured it out, it's not bad at all. I've felled some pretty big branches.
The saw blade is best either on or off. Switching back and forth is not quick and easy. It's screwed on with a wing nut, which gets stuck on me and requires the use of pliers.
The saw blade is sharp and cuts quickly and easily. I find it best to make the cut when I'm off to the side and not nearly underneath -- for safety's sake and also ease of use.
The saw blade will get in the way when I'm trying to use the pruning feature. If I were going to use it strictly as a pruner, I'd remove the saw. Although its pruning blade cuts better than the Fiskars 9234 62-Inch Pruning Stik, I like the Pruning Stik better. The rope and pulley design of the Power-Lever Tree Pruner just doesn't do it for me. I find it hard to use, especially when the branches are very tight. The lever near the head gets stuck on the branches. There just isn't room to pull. I use this pruner when my Pruning Stik won't reach. The telescoping pole is easy to adjust and set.
Although it has some shortcomings, I do like this product. For a woman with weaker than average arms, I'm cutting big branches off my oak tree without much effort. That's saying a lot.
