I've been told to keep off the ladder, and I did, all because this great 21 foot Gilmour Pole Saw that is lite to control and cuts smoothly. Using the three section of poles,I cut 25 foot high limbs that are 6 to 8 inches thick easy. I had hired a tree guy for $150.00 per hour to trim some trees in the past, no more!

I HAD JUST PURCHASED AN ELECTRIC POLE SAW THAT ADVERTISED A LENGTH OF 15 FEET. WHAT A JOKE, TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX AND IT WAS 8 FEET LONG, THE REST OF THE DISTANCE CAME FROM ME. WHEN I ORDERED THE GILMOUR POLE SAW I DID HOPE TO GET WHAT THEY ADVERTISED. IT CAME AND IT MEASURED UP VERY WELL. LIKE ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS I QUESTION WHY IT DOES NOT HAVE THE HOLE PRE-DRILLED OR AN END CAP AVAILABLE TO PUT ON. BUT, IT WORKS JUST LIKE IT SHOULD AND IS A GOOD BARGAIN FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TRIM UP HIGH.

This is a great saw. The fiberglass poles are strong & lightweight and far less wobbly than what you get from the collapsible pole saws...not to mention you can add more poles if you really need the reach. It does wobble a bit when you have it up in the air, but let's be realistic, it's 18' long. You don't have to worry about the poles coming apart when you're using them because they lock together very securely. The blade is aggressive but it's comparable to a handheld branch saw, much less aggressive than a chansaw. It gives a finished cut without an unnecessary amount of effort. There are several different heads that can be attached to the end of the pole so it makes sense the manufacturer would not put a hole in the plastic adapter...where would they put it? The reviewer that gave this 3 stars should probably consider hiring someone for branch trimming because this saw works great.

Ok, so maybe it's just me, but since I use this around the house and not commercially, I find the three poles (rather than an extension pole) annoying. You never really quite get the right length, they're rather cumbersome to put together or carry around, and if all three poles are used it's a wobblefest. Just not enough rigidity in the pole or in the flimsy blade. Other reviewers have mentioned having to drill a hole for the blade holder, which is no big deal since you'll be drilling through plastic. But why can't the manufacturer do it? Good points: sharp blade; cuts through the palm fronds I'm hacking at with just a couple pulls. There's also a hook to pull the branches down with that might not fall on their own. If the pole weren't so wobbly, I'd be more impressed. And yes, TONS of palm trees in Scranton. A tropical wonderland.

Some assembly is required, drilling a hole in the plastic saw head adapter. No big deal. It cuts very well, just let gravity pull the blade on the down stroke. It is about as long as I would like it to be. At 18' it can get a bit unwieldy and bouncy, but I can cut branches I could never safely reach before. My neck get tired before my arms. What I got out of the box were three identical poles each with male and female connectors. The Gilmour web page says three fiberglass poles and that is exactly what I got. I bought a 1 1/4" plastic end cap just to make my own base pole and protect the connector. Again not big deal, but not as fancy I as I was expecting. One of those Silky pole saw look real slick and would be easier to handle, but hard to justify the extra +$100. The Gilmour pole saw is a good value.
