Several trees are getting a bit big so I have decided that we need one of
these long reach pruners, the type with a long pole and a rope to pull to
do the actual cutting.

Any recommendations as to a good one? Probably 2-3m long.


I have the Wolf Garten 4 metre telescopic pole with both the loppers with
the pull cord and the pruning saw attachment (amongst other things) . Both
work extremely well. I also bought a mini handle so I could use the saw by
hand too. Had it for very many years and it still works as good as new. As
someone else says, a pair of eye protectors is a good idea and gloves too as
pulling the cord whilst trying to cut a solid branch can hurt your hands
especially if using it a lot. If you are as stupid as me then a hard hat
might be a good idea. :-)
