The Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw & Pruner is a versatile two-in-one tree trimming system that extends from 7 to 16 feet, allowing you to reach high branches without a ladder. The tool features chain-drive gearing technology that multiplies cutting power over traditional designs, enabling you to trim branches up to 1.25 inches thick with the precision-ground steel pruner blade. For larger branches, the included 15-inch WoodZig saw blade features aggressive chainsaw-style teeth with a special hooked end that anchors onto branches and prevents slipping from the cutting groove.

The oval-shaped fiberglass and aluminum poles are lightweight yet strong, reducing flex during use and allowing better control over cut direction while fitting naturally in your hand. A secure double locking system ensures the extended pole stays firmly in place during operation. The steel pruner blade features a low-friction coating that resists gumming with sap and debris while providing enhanced rust resistance for long-lasting durability.

This manual tree pruning tool is ideal for both ground-level and elevated trimming tasks, eliminating the need for bending or kneeling for low cuts. The compact pruner head design helps prevent snagging when reaching into tight spaces. Fiskars backs this product with a limited lifetime warranty, though customer reviews note some durability concerns with plastic components on the saw head attachment.
