I used one today for the first time. It felt rinky dink and cheap, BUT, made good cuts at odd angles from the ground. If they would step the unit up to something pro grade, Id buy one in an instant.
Truth be told, I don't really use a pole pruner much. More polesaw use then anything. I get some ornamental prunings here and there, but more of my pruning is trees larger then what can be done from the ground. I wish I could sell more ornamental work. Hour for hour, pound for pound, the profit...
I work a prune with strategy. If I cant get it at the angle I want from where Im at, I revisit the cut from my next position. hey, if the tool works for you, that's money in the bank. I have to be cautious about the durability of what I buy. Other guys use the stuff. As much as I like to think...
My marvin makes precision cuts on small wood. In fact it doesn't really make huge cuts on huge big ass trees. Its just built to handle the wear and tear of a life of tree work.
Homeowner junk. Buy Fred marvin. If I was pruning roses for a living, I might consider toys, but on rough and tumble tree jobs, nothing will suffice but pro grade.
