Silky Longboy
Long Reach Folding Pole saw
This is just what you want for raising the crown of young trees, and pruning fruit trees without using a ladder. Extends up to 3.6m (12') in two stops, with a robust aluminium pole and squidgy rubberised grip. 36cm (14") impulse hardened blade rips through branches like there's no tomorrow - comes with protective cover. Total weight 1.9kg
The blade folds in on the handle, making a compact 1.45m (5') for storage (handily fits in the back of a car, but not, alas, most suitcases).
Ever looked on in awe at tree surgeons, all kitted out with their gear? With one of these, people will look at you like that. All you need worry about is sawdust in the eyes and a stiff neck (and remember, always watch out when sawing overhead branches.)
