Many "Thanks" Matt, here in the States (Mid-Ohio--many hardwoods.) I'm 80 Summers young and have a six- or seven-inch diameter maple branch 18 feet up. The Jameson pole saw should handle it. Am a six-footer at 210 lbs and not afraid to work. My Rx: the Good Lord, Tylenol, and pints of Carling. CHEERS!
3:47 Rule number one! This pruner pole can sometimes be, whats between you and certain death! TREAT IT WITH RESPECT! Especially if you are a line clearance arborist! Which means "Never lay it on the ground! And certainly dont ever lay it in a bloody puddle of water mate! FFS! Sure its fiberglass and the rain water should bead up and potentially save u from shock. However, just dont take chances with your life if u don't have to aye mate? THE PROBLEM ISNT THE POLE GETTING WET BY ITSELF! ITS A TOTALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCES! ONCE THAT ROPES SOAKED, ITS MOST DEFINITELY A CONDUCTER NOW! You should have a in line rope insulator, generally fiberglass. That will help reduce that from happening. However... Just keep it clean and dry! It could be what saves your life! Taking any additional risks in the Tree Trimming world. You are just playing russian roulette, every time. That you use it out on storm calls or on any tree thats potentially energized. Its main goal is to keep you away from live powerlines, putting space in between you and the work/danger zone! Every line clearance arborist knows, theres a min approach rule in place for said reason. So either u use the Fiberglass pruner or fiberglass hydraulic pole saw to snip/cut limbs away. So its definitely important to practice good habits. To reduce the potential for injuries and or death!
Wow! Thats a long comment. I haven't used these near any powerlines and I dont work on powerlines. These poles are not insulated or rated to use on line clearance as stated in the video. Not really sure what you getting at. Thanks for the info though
Hi Matt, sorry to ask again about the pole pruners by Jamesons. Please could you let me know where you got yours from in the UK supplier. Many thanks Mark Riggs 👍
Hi Mark, it's no problem don't worry. I received these from Carrs Billington. Im not sure if these are still a UK distributer but they are available in other stores. Depends where you are in the UK really.
Im subbed up just tackled a job with poles been cutting trees coming up on 20yrs on and off and ive never been educated on poles and uses
Thats awesome, they have their place. I use them most for pruning the lower crown after climbing, finishing touches 👌
All good thanks again Mark Riggs 👍
No worries 👍
