Reviews: Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik
I bought this thing quite a while back in 2009 and to this day it's working like a champ. The best features of this is the ability to turn the cutting head and not having a long rope that gets tangled around.
It does cut like butter as some say and I believe that's due to two things: The sharpness of the blade and the design of the cutting mechanism which is chain controlled.
I am also in my late sixties and until I bought this thing had been struggling with using the rope system, and a pulling mechanism which left my hand sore from trying to pull on the rope. Being on a 10 foot ladder and trying to fight a heavy pruner and a tangled rope can be quite an adventure for an old dude like me. To an old person, 10' is long way to fall!
My only one wish is that it was longer, but then again that would be a never ending complaint as we try to cut higher and higher branches. At some point, the thing would get too long and too heavy.
