The Gyokucho Super Genryu puts razor-saw cutting on an extendable aluminum pole with a double-locking system that keeps sections secure at height. Lightweight and manageable, it makes hard-to-reach branches a ground-level job. Two base lengths: the 1.9 m reaches 4 to 6 ft, the 3.4 m reaches 6 to 11 ft, and replacement blades are stocked for both.
