" ... It has a lot of plastic parts, which worries me for lasting a long time. ... "
" ... Seems sturdy enough and did the trick. ... "
" ... When you snap the extension piece into place, there's are levers at both ends that lock it in. ... "
" ... Had my doubts as it looks like cheap plastic but it has held up. ... "
" ... It also can be used without the pole for ground use. ... "
" ... It is also a nice a feature that the pole is detachable. ... "

" ... works great however it is heavy and the extension adds to the weight. ... "
" ... This is light weight (for a pole saw) still get's heavy after a while but comparably light and cuts and works great. ... "
" ... I added a counter balance and yes it makes the overall unit weight more but it more than offsets the pivot weight and makes handling the unit at extended heights and 90-degree operation much easier. ... "

" ... The multiple adjustable positions are quite handy as well. ... "
" ... Slightly heavy but the should strap gives you an advantage. ... "
" ... Not used yet but feels good after putting it together. ... "
" ... The strap really helps to keep control of it when fully assembled. ... "
" ... Now, I'm in pretty good shape, but when that thing is extended and you need to hold it straight out, you will get tired. ... "
" ... The shoulder strap really helps to distribute the weight and give you a rest. ... "
" ... Awkward at first, but a few tweaks with the angles and I love. ... "
" ... The head changes angles which is very nice ... Not only does the head change angles but it rotates as well. ... "
