    I use the Stihl extendable hand pole saw . It stretches out to 21' Cuts like crazy . I use it a lot climbing and taking down spruce trees . It's real nicevto get the first 16' of limbs down and out of the way before I start climbing . Using the hand saw pole saw is faster than climbing and using my 193T which cuts Great !
    Clipping it on and off my saddle , fighting the limbs laying on my rope . Circling around the tree in the spurs . Lot of extra labor .
    The saw on the Stihl telescoping pruning saw . Cuts like a pro Silky or Samurai handsaw !!!
    But . It was $240ish when I bought it 2 summers ago . Bit, it doesnt wear out or get dull unless something brainless gets done with it
