This product allowed me to cut branches totally out of normal reach not the easiest to use at full length but it is usable with patience just take your time and let the blade do the work very sharp blade. It makes it a lot easier to handle with the hook at the end this makes it easier to locate on the high branch without trying to hold in the desired position after using this I would only recommend this type of product with a hook blade. I managed to cut through 4in branches at full height doesn_ work as well on small twinges as the twinges move to much to start the cut. Overhaul saved me getting in a professional tree cutter and a lot more money.
