They come with a 330 mm saw which gives the user extra cutting power on larger branches, although it’s worth noting that this saw is a little weak and not particularly effective. The saw also occasionally gets caught on branches and needs to be removed. When operating a pole saw you have to support the pole whilst cutting high above you. A chainsaw positioned on a pole 1 m away from you will feel twice as heavy as one held close to your body. To put it simply, if you want to prune tree branches that you can’t reach from the ground without a ladder, then a pole saw would make your life so much easier. They’re not complicated tools – they’re basically a chainsaw that sits at the top of a long pole. However, that long pole is what will enable you to slice through those hard-to-reach branches from ground level, while offering up a number of additional benefits: Lightweight tree pruner with a saw blade that lets you cut through small to medium diameter branches for as long as you want.

If you also want to use the pruner for some close-range jobs, make sure that its non-extended length is manageable. Extendable pruners tend to be over 1 m long even on their shortest setting, so there may still be jobs that will still require a pair of smaller hand pruners.For shorter trees and bushes, look for telescopic tree pruners with a maximum extension length of around 2m, and a shorter setting closer to 1m . These heights will provide sufficient versatility without requiring the use of a ladder. The Silverline 1.5-2.5mExtendable Pruning Saw is one of the most affordable models in our review. It features a durable, triple-ground blade that cuts cleanly on both the forward and reverse strokes. this doubles your cutting ability and halves your cutting time.

Tending to your plants is essential in maintaining their health and it gives you the opportunity of enjoying a lush garden. Pruning removes dead or damaged stems from plants before the next blooming season approaches. This permits the trees to develop healthily and look their best. Instead of relying on a ladder to get to those high up branches which can be a little dangerous, a telescopic tree pruner is an excellent way to safety prune branches you otherwise cannot reach from ground level.With an adjustable handle that can extend from 2.4 – 4 m, this pruner is the longest model featured on this list, and one of the best telescopic tree pruners for reaching higher branches in treetops. Combined with arms-reach, it will be able to access branches approximately 5 – 6 m high. Anvil looper tree pruner comes with a three-metre maximum length telescopic pole to reach medium-high branches. Another aspect that plays into how easy a pole saw is to handle is weight. However, this is directly linked to how the machine is powered – petrol pole saws are significantly heavier than machines that run on cabled electricity or batteries , sometimes weighing almost three times as much. If you’re looking for something lightweight, then a 3-4kg electric or cordless model would suit you best.
