"This pruning saw is everything you'd expect of the world's best makers of razor sharp cutting instruments."
"last pole saw youll ever need to buy."
"When fully extended (21ft) it is very flexible and makes sawing difficult but still cuts those branches down."
"I was debating on a stihl pole saw but decided this would probably work just fine and it works amazing for cutting dead branches and clearing shooting lanes for hunting."
"AMAZING product!"
"Love it - granted it's a bit pricey, however if you want a decent tool that holds up you do need to pay more."
"It is amazing."

"Very high quality."
"I do wish I could adjust the angle of the blade."
"Instead I used that money to buy this saw, an electric chain saw for cutting up logs, and a big breakfast. An added bonus of the long length is that you don't have to stand right under the branches you are cutting. The saw cuts on the pull motion, which makes it super easy and gives you alot of advantage."
"amazingly sharp and fast cuts through limbs."
"To that extent I've used axes, bow saws, other pole saws, and power pruners (powered pole saws - essentially a small chain saw bar on the end of a long pole). For my personal use, the Silky is the best compromise - light, VERY long reach (much longer than a power pole saw), and cheaper than a powered pole saw. It is NOT the cheapest saw out there, that's for sure, but is a quality tool that if taken care of will last a long, long time, and therefore gives the best value over the long term."
"However, the extension locking pins are seemingly getting stuck (nothing a good bang on the handle can't cure) but I expected smoother operation from a $300+ dollar blade."
"Really does work quite well, used it up a ten inche diameter cut which took some time, but smaller 4 or 5 ones were quite easy, fully extended it does get a little unwieldy, so it requires some arm strength."
Trim branches as thick as 1-1/8 inch with the sharp, durable steel pruner boasting a special low-friction coating for smooth cuts, reduced gumming and enhanced rust resistance. Easily cut high branches with a sturdy tree trimming system that extends 14 feet and features Power-Lever® technology for up to 2X more power.

"As a home gardener with tall shrubs, and not a professional, I chose this Fiskars 7feet to 14 feet lever type extension pruning pole because of its handle and simple mechanism."
"Wasn’t familiar with this type of pruning tool but pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is to use."
"I'm not a very big person so I find this a little hard to handle but not impossible."
"Used the saw to cut down a high broken branch that was very large."
"Very easy to use."
"Using it to cut palm trees and it does the job pretty good, but saw blade is a bit "weak"."
