Pros & Cons
Pros
You just have to be mindful that there is a ribbon (that has its own channel, so it doesn't flap about) that goes from the pull handle to the cutting head. It's very sharp. There's a slide handle a few feet from the bottom that works the cutter.
Adjustment is super easy and takes seconds. They use a simple throw lever to loosen and tighten the adjustment. I like that this uses a strap and it goes up to 12' i think.
The pole extends pretty easily and stays in place without any slippage. I also have the fiskars pole trimmer that uses a rope pull. It's hard to find but well worth getting in addition to this for when you don't need the long reach of the extendable p... Read More
It's not professional quality, but for typical homeowner use it's more than adequate. The quality is exceptional. It is as good as advertised.
Cons
There is no troubleshooting manual, no instructions, you call them and they have discontinued their customer service line. Also, telephone customer service at fiskars is currently unavailable <due to the pandemic>. Arrived defective and broke on... Read More
I have relatively small trees with branched less than a 1/2 diameter that require pruning. Because it cuts by sliding the grip down the pole, it is awkward to use and requires constant telescoping.

It has a high reach and is effortless on large branches up to 1”
Price
A professional trimmer will charge 200300 to top out a tree

Shipping
Completed my project prior to the contractors arriving
On a trip there a month before they were ripe i noted the amount of green fruit and knew i had to find something that would all... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Yet the packaging on the end of the pole is ridiculous to open
Other than the packaging i was very pleased with the pruner
Second as mentioned in another review it is difficult to remove the packaging from the head
Competitiveness
No other pruner compares to the versatility of this pruner
