Longest reach power pole saw?

Going to swap the current STIHL pole saw we’ve had for years out for something newer. Heard the battery ones are quite up to scratch. Want one with a good reach though nonetheless. Cheers

Really difficult to compare battery/petrol. I have both versions in chainsaw/Kombi, and I'd say that deep down, petrol has more low down guts. For use with a strimmer head, I'll pick up the battery every single time. Saw blade, unless we're cutting big stuff, battery wins for ease of use. Pole saw, well it's probably even closer, but petrol shades it for sheer grunt. However, being able to demand power at the press of a button, in near silence...................................

Sorry, I have no knowledge of proper pole saws, I'm down here with amateur status. My son has a battery pole saw at his place of work, which I want to wave about, as well as the cow horn strimmer.

Had the Echo Pole Pruner something like a PT2400 a few years ago with the extra 1.5m (?) extension - huge reach but a bit unwieldy. Machine is long gone but I still have the extension in our unit somewhere if anyone would be interested at £75.00 ?
