Any of y'all have one? I'm interested in the 5' version. Are they pretty sturdy? I would be using out of a climber, public land, there are times when the "perfect" tree has limbs just out of reach of my hand saw.

I haven't seen one in person, but they look flimsy on their commercials.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I have one and it's pretty good. I would say that it's worth it, because there is always that one limb that your hand saw won't reach..

I have the ten foot version and love it. It's handy to carry even to stands you don't think need trimming just in case.

No, it has a strap and you carry it in. They are worth it though. I used mine hanging stands before season and once during season.

Have the 5' and (2) 10'. Right after buying the first 10', I ran over it with the Ranger and broke the tang where the saw mounts to the handle. I carry the 10' when cleaning lanes and the 5' if using a climber. I like them. They flex more than a rigid pole, but I think any telescoping handle will.

I have a 5ft one. Good saw. It may not look it but it is very sturdy. Fits in backpack easily. I would definitely recommend it

O OK. I will prob stick with the 5' then. I don't want to tote more than I already do.

The world needs more people holding deer in pictures,and less people holding cameras in front of mirrors.

I have the 5' as well. No complaints.


Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!
