Good and sturdy

Reviews: Fiskars 9391 Low Profile 12-Foot Tree Pruner

Perfect.

Blade is easy to mount, and easily swivels for safer storage.

Rope has a nice adjustable handle.

Pole is a nice and wide for a good grip. Length adjustment doesn't slip.

There is a little bit of a flex to it when fully extended, which might get annoying if really working hours with this. But for homeowner use, this seems like it will hold up very well.

This is still new, but the blade and lopper both worked smoothly/sharply right out of the box.
