    If you have a pole saw, why would you get a hand saw? Apart from the height?

    Tom

    so tempting to make a couple of changes to your post .
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Good question Tom,

    That is why Silky Saws have made a dual purpose saw called the Forester. No, it is not a Subaru, it is a lightweight 4.5metre pole saw that you can remove the blade easily from, slip on a Gomtaro handle and turn it into an awesome handsaw. The handsaw is similar to the Sugoi in action and cutting. It is unbelievable.

    When you have the need for the pole saw it is a two minute job to reattach the blade.


    Arborists have a number of different handsaws as well as pole saws and chainsaws. For pruning they like a saw that cuts finely and leaves a very clean cut that helps reduce or prevent fungal or disease ingress. For lopping they will use a much more aggresive hand saw, especially if they are at or near schools. Noise abatement is important. They also carry a smaller saw in case they jam their chainsaw and have to cut it out.

    A Silky tip, the easiest way to keep your Silky rust free and ready for action is to clean it after use, spray with lanolin, available in spray cans from mower shops and store in its scabbard or sheath.

    Hi Arborlab, does the pole saw lock in like the barnel pole saws do? and is there any difference in the quality of the saw blades-Barnel vs Silky? Thanks in advance

    Hi Shepparton Lawn Care,

    Silkys are world leaders in hand and pole saw construction. The Barnel are made in America and are a different technology in their steel construction, so yes the blades are different and cut and last differently.
    The poles are similar but again different. Silkys have an oval style pole, slightly different depending on the weight of our poles. So each pole will have a different oval style, so that it is as strong and as user friendly as possible. They have a double locking mechanism, one is a pin which pops out and holds the two poles together, and the other is a clamp that squeezes the poles together. Everything on the pole saws are replaceable so if you loose a screw or spring you can easily get a replacement.
