DIY Long Pole Saw

How to make a 20 Foot Pole Saw
I cannot stress this enough - do not try this at home
Why don’t they make longer pole saws? All they would need to add is more poles… After falling off a ladder, I am not eager to leave the ground, so to bring down some tall branches, my options are limited. I took a 8 foot pole saw and made it a 21 feet long. When adding my reach, I can get branches that are 25-28 feet high.
Please do not try this at home, I am the Level 1 Builder

I am a few years late to this party but, Excellent work. That's getting it done. "Don't try this at home" repeated several times C.Y.A👍

[@ddrusa]

Thank you for showing us how to extend the saw pipe very cool. Even said do not try this at home this video is very helpfull

[@PaintSlinger99]

I didn’t call a professional and I did try this at home!!!

[@rogerdodger5415]

I see lots of advice in the comments… and here’s some more. Firstly… WELL DONE! You didn’t back down. You went for it!

[@MrXcrt]

This video was a combo of comedy and resourcefulness! I’m heading to the store to pickup a new pole saw and gonna morph it to the old one !

[@haroldsprenkle4173]

I will be trying this tomorrow. Square tubing and duct tape, stay out of the way, wife on porch running the switch, ok, plugging and unplugging. Glad someone else does sketchy stuff. I am not to worried. Just barely out of reach of my harbor freight pole saw by just a little. Kids, don't do this at home.

[@greenskynz]

i love it also i do experiment in my garden. though my pole trimmer is baterry powered. i must find another video how to wire a battery into a pole

"When doing this on your own, always call a professional" LOL This would make a funny slogan to have on a DIY tee shirt.

LMFAO 😂😂😂😂 at

I was going to buy a bunch of extensions for a Ryobi electric pole saw but after this I am going to just do this. I have a. 35 to 40 foot palm tree and have to make a 35 foot saw for this thing. I am going to put a strap around the tree and make it go around the pole saw because I am going straight up and down pretty much and will just let gravity do the work and the blade will fall through the palm tree grinds or branches. I have to circle the palm tree and just walk it around the tree and go up and down so to speak. I think 30 feet will do it and I might even design a circular contraption to go around the palm tree in the middle that you can brace the ladder onto and move it as you go. It will take the bounce out of the ladder that is stretched out so far it is not as stiff and will hold onto the tree for support by way of ladder. I wish I could rent something safer and quicker or be told a way to do this better

Awesome production!!!! Kept me laughing! ...the lady on the deck...lol

[@do7hemath937]

Great video. I just subscribed. Squirrels were your problem. Bird poop every day is my problem.

[@ColinMill1]

Adding a counter-weight to the base of the pole might make it easier to get the pole vertical and back down again gently. I tried this with a 21ft mast that was 21 lbs all-up weight and roping the base to a concrete block made it easy to raise and lower single-handed.

[@NinaRossBusiness]

Love this video! I'm surprised you didn't reflect on life again after you made that super long pole saw. It may have been dangerous but you achieved your objective while making a KZbin video! Two thumbs up!👍👍

[@mcconnelli]

Excellent bodging. Take a bow :)

[@outcast7899]

Try to get a cord up in tree hjgher than your work and use to raise, support and lower polesaw , then your just directing blade towards the work like a crane with less stress on your body. Will probably save some zip ties as well. Lol

[@TJBENZ]

cool video! nice DIY

[@DaGoodVybe]

Ahaha funny voiceover about the squirrels I subbed

[@netakemeno]

Cool stuff

[@robertball3578]

There are commercially made pole saws up to 40', a 35' saw is about $550; hand saws on the long pole are about $180. Pro's cut off some of the limb to reduce weight and impact with stuff below (like house or fence), then they cut the main limb that needs to come down.
