I have a few dead branches in one of my 50-year old maple trees. Rather than climbing up on a very tall ladder to access the branches, I am thinking about renting an electric saw on a pole to do the job.

I am fairly handy and always do my own tree stuff, but this would be a new experience for me and I am looking for some ideas and thoughts from the folks here who maybe have used such a tool.

Polite comments please.

I have one and it works very well. I've used the gas model with the
engine on the bottom. These units are very awkward and there is little
weight to push the chain through the branch. With the electric, the
motor is at the end of the "stick", so the extra weight up top helps to
push the chain through the branch.
