Replaced the Zubat blade recently. Attached the old blade to a ln extendable paint roller handle. Not paying 100s of € for a simple telescopic shaft.

I used the old blade so as I don't jam or break the new blade. More likely to go wrong with a polesaw.

 

Reach is probably about 10-12 foot fully extended, didn't measure though. The detent (had two, one missing) failed when I started cutting, as it's an old handle. It can't take the forces of sawing, so I ripped the inner aluminium shaft right out and just used it like that, about five foot of reach. Not a true polesaw, more like a "extra reach" handsaw. Works well, way more power pull cutting with both hands. I intend to use it as an "in the tree" tool. Will buy a new 4 foot telescoping handle for it, they're  plenty cheap.

How far does it reach? Must be an Irish thing, I bought a Silky Ibuki blade on ebay and a florbest handle fits on nicely.

 

 

The Bahco pruning saw is good value for money, easy enough to put a telescopic brush handle on it too.

I have the wolfgarden pole with the blade & loppers attachments aint the same as the zubat in cutting though but decent quality

 

Also have a samurai one that cuts better than the wolf &  that fits on a  diy handle pole handle

A truly versatile product.  Add an extendable, 25mm diameter, pole and you have a high-quality pole saw featuring a top...

 

 

Seems more flex between blade and the hande though comapred to the wolf.
