I just got done with four hours of use of the chainsaw on a stick. This
one is made by Remington.

Wife loved it. She would point at the branches and I would cut. Four
hours was tiring - the cutting was easy - the carrying away of the limbs
was hard :-)

It is a nice tool for $98. It seemed very safe to use. I tried to keep
it at an angle so the stuff would fall in front of me. On larger
branches - I would saw it off in pieces from the extremities to the
crotch (of the tree).

In some cases - I went up onto the roof of our house and reached out
horiztonally.

My review - it did what I wanted - easier than a pruner with the rope -
I cut a six inch thick branch with no problems - looks like th esaw
could take bigger. I never cut from the bottom up - always putting the
saw blade on top of the branch. When extending to the full length - the
lock had a cam to hold it tight.

This one was made by Remington and purchased at Home Depot for $98. I
figure I got my money's worth out of it with one use. A local tree
surgeon wanted $500 to do what I did today in 4 days - again - the worse
part was hauling the stuff to the curb for pickup. anything you get to
the curb - our city picks up no extra charge.
