which pole pruner?

[morningwood]

...been looking at silky pole pruners but as I'm from paisley I'm looking for something a bit cheaper.

 

To be used mainly for lopping and not sawing.

 

Can anyone recommend anything half decent?

 

 

Cheers neebors......

do you mean powered or non powered? non powered, you could try the corona polesaws, i got mine in costco pukka professional poles for around 90 notes which was about the same price as my usual dealers but they were out of stock at the time. powered you can't beat anything orange and white imo

I have a Wolf pruner and DON'T recommend it - wobbles all over the place; silky much better, even silverline is! What about Bahco - thay have some serious quality stuff...

its twice as ridged as the extendable silky i have and half the weight...

I would recommend wolf if you are on a budget

Jameson do us nicely, quite pricey though if I remember rightly...

I've not been that impressed with my stihl pole pruner, very flimsy pole. The polesaw on the other hand has been excellent.

That sounds like a cracking idea! The silky saws are exellent and I have a couple of their pole saws but the buttons have stopped engaging and they're getting a pain to slide in and out. How far does your window cleaning one go?
