Pole saw and small van carrying solution??

I know that's aimed at the OP Stubby but my Husky polesaw's a battery one and that doesn't come apart.  There's miles of it and I have to strap it to the ladder rack the illogical way round, i.e. with the battery compartment up in the air, to stop it pissing oil over the roof!

There is no easy solution. My Kangoo roof rack is pretty butch, I strap the saw up there with carabiner bungees. Theft could be an issue though, sometimes I'll wind a Flexi bike lock around it and through the "footstand" on the motor, it's not perfect but would make it a hassle to pinch in a hurry. Oil leaks and drips in the windscreen, rain rusts the muffler. Just not a good set up but no other option. Ideally, a long, thin, luggage holder on the roof would be the ticket, if such a thing exists?

Yeah theft could be an issue, we have just got a new one due to theft... I have looked at the racks plumbers use for pipes etc  but I'm not sure they accommodate the engine.

I have a set of Thule bars fitted to the pickup canopy and you can get a pair of Thule attachments which are designed for securing things like canoe paddles, they are the perfect thing for fitting a Stihl pole pruner into and very secure. 

 

If you google "Thule multipurpose rack"

 

has a strong metal rope with a toggle to secure it and the pruner is protected by a rubberised clamp.  looks like they're a lot dearer now than when i got them but if its a £700 pruner its worth doing it right
