A 16-foot, three-section aluminum telescoping pole saw for ground pruning.
This Sentei telescoping aluminum pole saw extends to about 16 feet on three sections. It lets a ground worker or climber reach small limbs and deadwood without moving a ladder or setting a line.
A telescoping pole saw is the fastest way to deal with low limbs, small deadwood and clearance pruning over a driveway or sidewalk. Three sections collapse for the truck and lock out to the length you need, up to about 16 feet. Work below the limb and to the side, so cut pieces drop clear of you.
A long pole is harder to control at full extension, so extend only as far as the job needs. Sectional fiberglass poles and parts are on our poles and kits page.
Aluminum keeps the pole light, so you can hold it overhead longer before your shoulders give out. Make proper pruning cuts where you can: undercut heavier limbs first to stop bark tearing, then finish outside the branch collar.
Aluminum conducts electricity. Never use this pole saw anywhere near overhead lines, service drops or anything that could be energized. Line-clearance work requires qualified arborists with insulated, tested tools and ANSI Z133 approach distances.
Wear a helmet and eye protection, since debris falls toward you. Keep the locks clean, wipe sap off the blade, and replace the blade when it dulls. Collapse the pole before you walk with it and before you put it in the truck.

No. Aluminum conducts electricity. Stay well away from any line and call a qualified line-clearance arborist.
Add your own reach to the pole length, but control drops off at full extension. Cut only what you can control.
