I have a Stihl gas powered extension saw. It extends out to 16' I think. I like it.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Get the attachment for a weed wacker.
A gas pole saw ( dedicated ) is nice but spendy. Plus ya have to run it a bit or it gums up. I had a Stihl.
Electric ones are ok but limited. Had one of them too.
The attachment for the weed wacker works best for me.

I have a Stihl gas powered pole saw and love it. Very useful for triming stuff at ground level too, don't have to bend over and push thru brush to reach the base.

I bought a harbor freight cordless pole saw five years ago. I’m not a harbor freight guy but I’ve been more than pleased. The negative is the the reach is less than higher quality saws. I’ve bent the pole many times and just straighten it out as good as I can. Not real safe but I stand on the atv to get a couple extra feet when needed. The battery life has never been an issue. Never used a gas powered pole saw and I’m sure they perform better but for branches 6” or less my cheep cordless saw works just fine on my wooded five acres Thanks for the review. I was gonna stop there tomorrow and check that pruner out. It's supposed to be on sale for $50 this weekend. If it is I'll probably buy one. I think it extends from 6 to 10 foot. I'll use it around the yard and clearing lanes around my tree stands.

I have a 40volt Kobalt pole saw from Lowe's.
It's performed flawlessly so far.
I use it around the yard and limb trimming in the woods. Have cut easily thru 6" and smaller oak, hickory, etc.
Thank God For Your Blessings!

I’ve got a Stihl battery powered on my truck. Awesome. Used to have a gas powered. Only thing is that they’re more fragile. The gas has a touch more jam, but the weight, noise, hot exhaust burning the arm when really reaching, starting is non existent with battery. With the electric, as soon as the limb starts to move I pull out. If it gets jammed, you’ll notice that’s it’s more fragile. Right from new I changed the bar to 10” instead of 8”. 8” is too short. undercut the limb a bit and it won't get stuck

I have a DeWalt cordless prune saw 20 volt it is a work horse reason I purchased it was I already had 20 volt DeWalt so it made sense Same one here just a bit heavy with a bad shoulder but it gets it done, DeWalt battery life is impressive I must add.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

[/quote]undercut the limb a bit and it won't get stuck Always. Sometimes it works, depending on the situation. With a wand you’re always cutting at an angle cuz you’re cutting branches over head. Never get it stuck if ya pull out once it starts moving.
