High branches are within reach with the chain drive extendable pole saw and pruner, which includes two different cutting options and extends up to 16 ft. Chain-drive gearing gives you up to 3X more cutting power than traditional designs. Plus, an oval-shaped, lightweight yet strong pole reduces flex, allows you to control the direction of the cut and fits the natural shape of your hand. A unique double locking system ensures the pole stays extended for great control. Trim branches up to 1-1/4 in thick with the sharp, durable steel pruner boasting a special low-friction coating. For thicker branches, call on the power of the sturdy 15 in WoodZig® saw, featuring a special hooked end that prevents the blade from slipping out of the cutting groove. A compact design helps prevent snagging when reaching into tight spaces.
