This is a pole saw professionals reach for, and one we use around our own campus. Notch builds the telescoping aluminum alloy poles specifically for the Silky head and blade, and the oval pole shape is the detail that matters: it gives you precise control over blade direction 21 feet in the air, where a round pole would twist in your hands.
Two locking systems work together, locking pins as the primary mechanism and friction clamps as the secondary, so the extended poles stay rigid and your effort at the handle transfers to the teeth instead of flexing away. The 390 mm Silky Hayauchi blade carries large teeth at 5.5 per inch that drop limbs fast, and a protective scabbard is included to keep that edge protected between jobs. Choose the two-extension pole that reaches 16 ft or the three-extension pole that reaches 21 ft; replacement Hayauchi blades and complete head assemblies are stocked here.
