Mine has been a great tool, using it all the time. Whole trees pruned with it as its quicker, better cuts than a saw..

 

Seen this elsewhere and thought it should be shared as a warning - turn them off when not cutting! I dont always use the chain brake on my saws but I always turn these off.

 

He said, he was dragging brambles with it held and turned on, something caught the trigger.

 

 

That’s going to nip, speedy recovery

It wasnt me, I have all my digits and intend to keep it that way!

If I am not sure and to remind myself, I'll stop and count the digits, kind of reminds me they are there and not to be complacent.

That hasn't helped my irrational fear at all. Not buying one.

I lost the top of my thumb as a teenager with an axe and my nephew lost the top of one of his fingers when he was a young lad due to an incident with a heavy door so whenever we see each other we take great delight in saying “high 4 1/2” to each other, oh the little things in life that make you smile.

Ryobi and some other brands make a long reach version which I think would be safer.

I want one on a 4m telescopic pole stick but yet to find anything suitable. I may have to make an adaptor for the Fiskar/Magnusson poles.
