Reviews: Fiskars 9393 12-Feet Tree Pruner with Saw

I needed a tree trimmer to trim-off dead branches or prune crossing branches, which I could not safely reach. I have not used the saw blade. I have only used the pruner. It telescopes to its longest length easily, and it is easy to lock in place. The pruning cut is clean and quick with minimal force. It is well made and sturdy. It is not heavy, so it is easy to maneuver when it is fully extended. Very good for the price; I would buy it again.
