The best one I have ever found are the AUS fibreglass poles, like utilty company's use, I have had a set for the last few years, they can have lopers or a silky, they slot together and are awesome.

I'm sure Silky are the best but I only needed a limited use model so went for Bahco via Screwfix; I brought the 5m pole - comes down to say 6 ft and the saw and large lopper. Tried out the saw at full entention over the weekend on some 2" ash branches - worked well, just needed a steady saw action (haven't tried the lopper yet). The pole worked well locking ok and light to use.:thumbup1:

 

I could fit a Silky blade to it if needed but the Bahco blade assy is 18 quid against 29 quid for a silky blade.

 

I have the Bahco blade as well but my poles are some from a cheap set of loppers from Wickes, Binned the loppers and bolted the blade on works a treat and the poles are in 3 twist lock pieces.

Taken off branches 5" with it with a few breaks lol
