Every single time that I've grabbed a pole pruner by the anvil I couldn't help but think just how stupid I was and how easily I could seriously injure myself.
Just a standard Marvin polesaw head, Sean. I was looking through my old pictures and only found one of the polesaw, and that was from 2002 which is before I started turning the blade around. I think I picked it up from Nate or somebody else who mentioned it here.
About 5 years ago I started turning the blade around backwards so the polesaw hook is on the same side as the blade teeth. This way you have the hook to help deflect the blade if it falls against you.
I don't, but I have a separate compartment for mine and the blade teeth aren't touching anything.
I scabbard all my chainsaws though, and nobody else around here does that.
They are made approximately the same size but they are not always interchangeable. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. Sometimes you can get them connected and then can't separate them because they are jammed. I suggest picking one brand or the other and sticking with it if possible...
