(More customer reviews)The Hook Fox can mount to a Silky pole saw in two ways: across the short axis of the pole saw (for all saws except the Hayauchi) or through the long axis (which is required for the Hayauchi). The hook itself is made of two separate, stamped, and plated sections, held together with rivets. The bolt holes that must be used when mounting the hook to the Hayauchi are formed from the two halves, and are simply pinched together by the rivets about 1/2" away from the holes (the three rivets in a row). On mine, this caused, after not what I would consider extraordinary use, the nuts to pull through the holes, spreading the two halves of the hook apart, popping those rivets nearest to the holes. This caused the holes (really two halves of holes, as I've explained) to become deformed, and I can not re-attach the hook in the intended fashion.
It's a silly design flaw, and I'm sure this explains why, even though this hook is supposed to fit all of the Silky pole saws, they make a separate hook for the Hayauchi alone, which is not formed from two pieces. Unfortunately, that other hook does not have the returns on the top side, which are useful for pushing branches or rope.
Silky Saws are great, but this particular design is very disappointing.
