Yes, that's my criteria for purchasing tools too, pick the tools that even a thief wouldn't take for free! If it's such a piece of crap that it's not worth carrying away, then that's the tool for me and Abbershay.

I've got one that sits in the garage most of the time. It is a very small bar that really limits what you can do with it, and the pole is a fixed length. Mine no has some sag in it from getting bent a little. I use it mainly for just slashing through vines and really messy stuff like that. I bought it to help with trimming palm trees but it does a pretty lousy job. A friend of mine has a Power Pruner and that thing is great, it costs 4 x as much but is well worth it, we use his all the time. I use my Silky Hauauchi(?) much more than the POS poulan. --Poulan is not all bad. I've had a Poulan Pro 330 for about 2 years now, slight mufler mod and it is one of my favorite saws -power to weight wise.

MIKE MASS could you please elaborate further .regarding removing lower branches..which I gather your not keen on many thanks ROLLA

Greg- I love the PP330-My most used saw on the ground.

RC, NO! NO! Don't get Mike started. Help! The crazy dude in pink tights is going on another rant! Save us!

I' expect that Mike will elaborate or perhaps retrieve a long thread where we argued about it. Mikes position is that trees don't grow branches to no purpose and removing low branches is not kind to the tree.-I agree up to that point but Mike seeems a little phobic about it, Daniel Murphy and I along with others have argued that since as arborists we manipulate tree growth to accomodate people, removing SOME lower limbs for clearance-whether for walking , mowig , driving or to clear a roof., is NOT a sinful act.:angel:
