I watched this not because I’m looking at getting a pole saw but simply because it’s a Brian Phillips video and they’re hilarious 😂😁

Thank you for the video; I need to use this; I'm intimidated by this tool. You've helped me. The camera lady did fine work, I must add. 😊
@BrianPhillipsRC2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Erin! When you get ready to use it, the cutter vs the saw is so much better! We love the way it works. The saw would be tough on a large limb...but might be JUST out of reach with other means, so it would definitely get you up there. This tool is also super nice for getting things that end up on the roof...like a random trash bag that gets stuck or a RC airplane - LOL ;) Megan is wonderful with her camera work - I'm so lucky she puts up with me!

@BrianPhillipsRC3 жыл бұрын
Awesome! It's a LOT of work, but gets the job done. The rod is more helpfull for the CLIPPER part, in our experience, but depends on how large the branches are, that you need to trim. Good luck Sarah!

For sure! It would take for-ever to do all the projects I need to do out here, but it worked well for the chopper too! I think I might get an AC powered unit, and just drag out an extension cord???

@stevemitchell57813 жыл бұрын
I totally agree that there should be a manual/instructions on attaching the saw. I used the cutter when I first bought it, but didn't use the saw until now and forgot the exact orientation of the bolt, and if there was another connection. Thanks for refreshing my memory on the correct way. Seems like an easy thing for Fiskars to do.
@BrianPhillipsRC3 жыл бұрын
So glad we could help!!! I love the tool, but after I got this, we found a few that you can plug into 110VAC, and they looked so nice, almost worth the wonderful prospect of 200-300 feet of extension cables - LOL ;) Thanks for stopping by Steve!

You can actually hear the water fall in that 1. I found on mine the more you angle the blade the better the cut on the downstroke. I can't believe Megan gave us the finger......lmao...Good video guys.👍
@BrianPhillipsRC5 жыл бұрын
LOL - she did give me the finger - Even the camera was excited about it!!! As for the angle of the saw blade...what do you think? Should I make it more straight up and down, or more at the 30 degree angle? I kinda see what you're saying about the cut on the fore-stroke...but not 100% sure we're speaking the same language :)
@brianchambers15155 жыл бұрын
No not straight-up-and-down the more angle that you can set your blade the better off you'll be I always found that you got 90% of your cutting On the down stroke The greater the angle the more drag you create where the blade meets the limb and you'll get a better cut for the effort When working above your head every stroke counts for you back sake.....lol.. I'm on my 2nd blade I use mine alot And by the way I put a removeable clasp at the end of my rope to where I can take my rope off when I'm doing mainly cutting.. Mines a little different from yours . Through the pulleys mine is chain Then at the end of the chain I have a key chain ring then that's where my removeable clasp goes and then from there down its rope... Anyway Maybe that will give you some kind of idea with your rope. system Wish there were some way you can send pictures would be a little bit easier to explain...lmao
@BrianPhillipsRC5 жыл бұрын
Okay, great advice!!! I will get a removable clasp too. That seems like something they might have installed at the factory ;) Thanks Brian!

@BrianPhillipsRC5 жыл бұрын
I saw one right after publishing this video and I might buy it too. It's super cheap too!!!!! I still think this is a better fit for the back timber, as that one plugs into 120VAC...the battery operated one was still pretty reasonable.

I have lots of outlets outside, but I bet I'd need about 200-250 feet for the grove behind my house....but then there's no expensive weird, proprietary batteries to die JUST before you need them, and the AC systems always seem to be more powerful too. I saw a limb today, while we were out working, and it definitely needs cut down. Maybe it would be worth some effort to get that electric one...hummmmmm

I was going to mention that, as I grabbed a purple balloon from like 20 feet away in that waterfall "pit" behind our house, but that was right after the video ended :( It does seem like it would be a great tool. I have my "stick of shame" which is a 3 stage extendable painting tool. It goes higher, and it's got a screw on tool adapter at the end. I love it, but didn't need one of these saws until we bought this property. The video is at 94% right now, then processing, so you can see it Monday Morning. My wife is gonna have to get with our internet provider tomorrow and find out what is going on...but to be honest, this is kinda what we have to look forward to at our new place...SLOW, but don't worry, it's also SUPER EXPENSIVE!!! We got a quote for $63,000 for fiber directly into our house, but we would probably need to win the lottery before that's gonna happen...but it was good for a quick laugh :)

Brian PhillipsWOW, but I would rather have a slow internet and get new house. Besides when you get frustrated you can get mad at that verse the kids. Building a new house is fun (I think) I’ll always remember that experience. If you don’t get divorced during the fun, then in the end it’s (ALL WORTH IT) see you on the next one. Wishing the best to you and your family.
