I have unexpected need of a pole saw, won't be in regular or commercial use. Has anybody used any of the cheapo options? I know most here will have non-domestic Stihl/Husky ones, but thought maybe somebody might have use a cheapo one in a pinch?

What do you need to cut?

 

A good option is a Fiskars UPX86 or the £85 screwfix Magnusson pole pruner. 4M reach, very light, telescopic pruner for small stuff and a saw blade for thicker. Similar price but the Fiskars you have to buy the saw seperately.

 

I have a Makita split shaft unit with the EY403MP

pole saw head and extension. It works quite well.

Do you have any power tool brands battery system? Most of them do a pole pruning chainsaw.

 

I also have a cheapy engine milti tool kit with pole saw. The saw works finenbut the 52cc engine is very heavy. The 25cc or 35cc version would be much better for this.
