I cannot praise this saw highly enough. If you have ever needed to cut roots when digging up a pesky privet grown into an ugly tree, or a volunteer walnut or maple that you don't want growing next to your fence, then you NEED this saw. I have used it on a dozen trees and shrubs when roots got in the way of digging it out. It is still as sharp as new, even though it has been cutting green wood with dirt, sand and rocks stuck to it.
I also own the Silky Hayauchi pole saw, and a Silky Master carpenter's saw, and all of these tools are of the very finest quality, and they are an absolute joy to use and even just to look at. I may already own 3 of Silky's fine saws, but I am sure to buy more of them!!

On a volunteering event, I was introduced to this saw. I could only borrow it; even though after several uses, I wanted to take it home. I used the Silky Gomtaro for tree trimming at a park. The guy that recommended this particular brand to me, was working in the Tree Trimming department at our company. They have to trim trees year round. I refuse to buy an $8.00 handsaw when someone can purchase one of these....believe me, this will be the last you buy. Even though it's a bit more expensive, it is worth the quality of this saw. Not to mention, when trimming my own trees, I didn't have to work as hard as I would have with the cheap hand saw. The Silky, and I am sure ALL Silky saws cut like this one does. This is a decent size saw for taking down small to medium branches. I have had no issues, and I can attach it to my belt and climb with it without worrying about cutting myself. I recommend this saw to anyone.

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot Review

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a 8' televator ladder. The ladder installation was simple. The instruction were great (and I am not a handy person). They claim it's a one person job. I found that to be quite true. There is a well thought out installaiton procedure and well designed parts (assuming you read directions carefully). The only down side is that it does not come with a door. I assume this is because the opening sizes vary so much. They do provide all the necessary hardware and (excellent) templates for drilling holes. You have to measure, buy and finish is the plywood for the door. Unfortunatly this can be pricey. I had to buy a whole 4x8 sheet of birch plywood and only used a fraction of it. The directions for the door assembly are a little less clear than the ladder install but I managed with out too much hassle. The only other thing I can think of now that I didn't think about when I was installing was that the ladder reduces the overall size of the attic access hole. We now have to re-box some things in the attic so we can fit them through the smaller access. Some bigger things in the attic may require removal of the stairs but I think that won't be too bad to do if/when I need to do it. It is great not having to stash a step ladder upstairs any more. I knew I had to do something after my wife fell off the step ladder while climbing out of the attic one day. This is a great alternative when you don't have the space for a real set of stairs.

Silky Curved Landscaping Hand Saw SUGOI 420 Extra Large Teeth 390-42 Review

Amazon did not sell this at the time I bought mine ( and the Hayauchi pole saw ). This saw really cuts well even on oak limbs and is certainly easier carry when climbing up tall trees than a chainsaw. I have used it to cut a couple 8in limbs too.

Silky HOOK-FOX Accessory For Landscaping Pole Saws HAYATE HAYAUCHI LONGBOY & ZUBAT 425-01 Review

Silky HOOK-FOX Accessory For Landscaping Pole Saws HAYATE HAYAUCHI LONGBOY and ZUBAT 425-01
Average Reviews:

(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.

Hook accessory for hanging pole saw on the branch or pulling the branch down. Hardly a noticeable addition to your pole saw weighing in at only. 0.55 pounds (260 grams) weight. It comes ready to assist you with the job you have in mind with built-in carabiner hole, and two notches for advancing climbing rope. It is hard chrome-plated for longevity too.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik Review

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pole pruner performs excellently.
I found the following features to be especially useful:
- rotating head, allows easy cuts of branches at different angles.
- no additional rope to pull, makes for easy cutting and handling.
- saw blade is sharp and it also allows user to change the angle of the blade so that you can saw more efficiently.
Features I wish it had:
- the ability to cut more than its 1 & 1/4-inch cutting capacity.
- when using the saw blade, the FULLY extended handle flexes a bit more than I prefer.
Overall this telescopeing pole pruner is excellent.
I have been using mine regularly to prune trees for over a year and it still cuts as sharply as it did on the first day.
By the way, some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor and they got a damaged product, they must have ordered it early before the new packaging was incorporated. My Pruning Stik arrived in good condition, it had a thick supporting cardboard piece to ensure the long box did not bend.

Spare yourself the effort of climbing trees to reach far-off branches with this convenient and powerful telescoping pruning tool from Fiskars. The Pruning Stik's fiberglass outer pole and aluminum inner pole extend to a full 12 feet, allowing you to trim upper branches from the safety and security of the ground. Its extremely sharp cutting blade can be manipulated by pulling a rope or the pole's ergonomic handle. In addition, the sturdy cutting head rotates 240 degrees to enable you to choose the proper cutting angle for branches up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter. A 15-inch Woodzig saw blade is also included for added cutting power.
