Summary: Doesn't quite cut it (so to speak) 2008-12-04
Comment: Not a "pro" tool. For light-duty, occasional use only. You WILL need other tools as well.
I got in over my head (so to speak). Tried it on a locust tree's dead branch (hard wood). As others have reported, the chain stuck on first try. Ended up also buying a Remington pole chainsaw pruner. The pole chainsaw has its own set of issues (cheaply made, chain falls off, etc) but it's much faster and more effective than this item (when it works).
What DOESN'T work: everything is light duty. Pulling on the hand straps quickly ruined the "D"-shaped links. I switched these for some heavy links - then was worried that the attachment to the chain would break (it somehow held up). "Bean bag" weight is pitiful but it works (sort of). Quick-disconnect attachments are very light duty and quickly bend out of shape and are rendered useless.
Might be OK if you have a softwood branch or two. Don't expect too much. Have a backup plan. Wife was willing to bring in a tree pro rather than listen to me whining. Again, might be OK for occasional use...good luck

Summary: Rope Saw 2008-12-03
Comment: This rop saw was great! There is more than enough line to thru the saw up to the limbs. Me and my 80 yr old mother took down two huge limbs that would have cost us hundreds to have done for us! This is awonderful tool!

Summary: Hints on the use of this saw 2008-11-16
Comment: Tips on use:
- If the supplied ropes are not long enough, you can add additional rope to extend the reach. (You will need to know your knots to tie polypropylene rope together.)
- This saw will NOT successfully cut a 6 inch live oak limb without binding.
- This saw WILL cut dead oak limbs that size.
- The directions mention the use of 'hand straps' but they are not supplied. Wrapping the rope around your hands (even with gloves) is not fun. I created an eye splice at the end of the extended ropes. You might want to see what you can rig up to get a comfortable grip on the rope where you need it.
- I found that using a fishing pole with a practice weight (yellow rubber coating, which makes it easy to see) works very well to get a line over the limb. Then use the fishing reel to pull the saw line over the limb and get started.
- If it is cutting well, you will see the saw cutting into the sides of the limb from below.
- Plan your trimming to use lighting to your advantage. (Keep the sun to your back so you can see what you are doing.)
- To cut a 6 inch dead limb on an oak tree, takes about 400 strokes.
This saw fills a specific need. There a lot of easier ways to cut a limb, if you can reach it.

Summary: For the right application -Great saw and kinda fun 2008-11-06
Comment: This may have been the best $40 or so dollars I ever spent. Not the greatest cutting saw, but for out of reach branches, it is a godsend. (I don't like the Kids playing under dead branches) I have many dead branches from 20 - 60 feet up, and i was able to take them all down with this saw. I added rope to extend my reach on either end, and took down some crazy high branches. Keep you stroke smooth and even,and be patient. For the higher up branches, get a partner, adn stand about 15 feet apart, as the line get tangled (singlehanded) at about 40 feet or so. Some of the cuts are not perfect, but i estimate I saved about $700 over a tree service.
I actually used a slingshotm 1 oz fishing weight to get to the highest branches (told you it was fun). Pull a heavy test line over(wear gloves) then pull a medium line, then pull the saw lines.
My neighbors laughed, then askd to borrwo it when they saw the pile of branches I stacked.
One word of warning, If you are not smooth and measured, you can jam the blade, and lose the saw forever.
If you are cutting alone, tie loops in the rope, BUT DO NOT WRAP YOUR HANDS. when that branch comes down, you need to be out of the way (See neighbors laughing comment).
Get the longest blade you can, as you want to get maximum cut per stroke.

Summary: It Works Well 2008-10-29
Comment: I easily cut several third-floor-level tree limbs with this. It takes a little finesse to use but it works as advertised. I think the people who were having trouble may have been cutting branches that were too thin. I learned while cutting the fallen limbs on the ground that at an acute angle the chain saw can get stuck. However, the weight of a large limb will break that small spot and bring it down.
