I’ve used several pole saws and my current favourite is from Lee Valley with a double hook (one at the top and another on the bottom) of the blade. It’s based on the Japanese saw tooth design and cuts probably twice as fast as you showed. The round pole however does not close and hold well. I would love to combine the Fiskars oval pole with the Lee Valley blade.
Stefan, I’m going to have to check that out. Lee Vally offers some great quality tools. I like the idea of a double hook, Japanese saws cut really well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I was just eyeing up my Lee Valley blade and contemplating drilling some holes in it to get it on my fiskars pole.... I do see Lee Valley makes a 21' aluminum unit which may be better than the round fiberglass pole I've got
I’ve had a lot of experience using pole saws for pruning and dead limb removal. The Fiskars innovations are definitely helpful improvements. A noggin protector and glasses to keep sawdust out of your eyes are essential too. I’ve been dinged and saw dusted many times. Thankfully with no long term effects… er what was I talking about🤔 oh bother it’ll come to me eventually.
You are sooooooo right, I was remiss in not putting on glasses and helmet. I at least should have mentioned using appropriate PPE when working with a pole saw. Thanks for reminding me. Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
Hi Tony...good video...I need a pole saw/pruner... Do you still recommend the 16" Fiskar...its been a year since your video. Did the company upgrade since your video?
@@Ir-of4zn I am not aware of any upgrade on the Fiskars line of pole saws. I am still very happy with the 16” saw. Thanks for watching and commenting TCT
Hey Tony another very informative video! After watching this 2 months ago I was at my local Costco Warehouse and they had the Fiskars 16' pole pruner for sale. I bought one & realized how long it actually is when it barely fit into my car! And that was without the blade attached!! LOL I am curious, my saw is made in China is yours made in Germany or Sweden?? My saw also hooks on different than yours did, it still has a wingnut but no tab holding it in place until the wingnut gets tightened. I am also a little disappointed with the rope just hanging down from the head , I would've thought they would have a loop on each section to thread the rope thru! What are your thoughts?? I also need to make some kind of a scabbard for the blade before I accidentally cut holes in everything that the blade comes in contact with!! LOL
Steve, to my knowledge all the Fiskars Pole saws are made in China. The Ax’s are the main products made in Finland. My pole saw is about 4 or 5 years old so Fiskars may have made some changes to the blade design. The rope is a tough issue, I’m not aware of any other company that has a better design other than just hanging from the head of the saw. After you’ve had a chance to use it drop me a comment on your thoughts. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I’m glad your ok, it could have been worst. Though many people use tools while on a ladder, chainsaw is not one of those. I’m glad the pole saw allows me to stay on the ground and cut! Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
i had a fiscars pruning tool with maybe three foot handles and the head broke and the lifetime warranty didn't cover anything.... no customer service so no no to fiscars anymore.
I’m really sorry to hear that. Typically they are very fair and liberal about the lifetime guarantee. Did they ask you to take a picture and email it? I assume you were referring to pruning loppers. I appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
That looks like a nice pruner Tony. I bought a Jameson pole saw a several years ago and it was well over $200 back then. The Fiskars looks like a great tool at a reasonable price.
Dick ironically the Red pole saw was a Jameson pole saw. It’s a very good saw. The only saw better is the Silky but you’re looking at big bucks. Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
Tony, Thank you, for your video. I just bought the pole trimmer 16ft. Model from Costco 69.99 -15.00 off. Great deal , was very easy to use, I have a old corona trimmer that doesn’t do very well, love the new blade.
You got a smokin deal on the pole saw! The Corona as well as the previous Fiskars were not very good pole saws. With a lot of cursing and time you got the job done but it was frustrating. Trust me I know. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I remember back in the day my Dad and I used a pole saw like that all the time. Then I upgraded to a Husqvarna power pole saw and now that's all I use. If I need to get up in a tree farther I just have my nephew come over with his self propelled lift and we cut hahaha. Stay safe my friend
Dang Tim you got the right idea, get relatives or friends with tools to come and help. I knew you were a very smart man! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Great job tony , like always on your wood yards tool . I been a lineman for 17 yrs or more until after a bad accident from a double belt far . Hey I’m still here , our pole are rate for 100,000 volts per/ foot . Same with hydraulic pole chainsaw on Canadian line truck test for 100,000 volts per/ foot under the CSA laws . Be careful around power lines travel 186,000 ft / per sec . I was sorry to pick at Chris over in Bert woodyard . With all the safety courses we do think to happen . Probably why I say THINK SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST . TAKE my word 6 yrs in a hospital is not fun SORRY . Please be careful out there wood hound 😊
Leonard I’m with you, safely is first. I’m glad you are still with us and Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I too am lucky to be here after falling out of a tree stand 20’. Wore a full back brace for a longtime. It’s no fun. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
You’ve hit the mark! Short, sweet and very informative. That’s hard to do but well worth the effort. I’ve got a 20+ year old fiscar pole saw on its second blade that I would love to trade in on one of those. I learned how to use the flex of the pole to keep the blade in the kerf and have been happy with it for years, but that new design is the cats pajamas. Trade ya! Way to go Tone! Reno
Yup I had to deal with the floppy pole as well and compensated and made it work. I'm glad Fiskars redesigned the pole saw, life is much easier and less frustrating when cutting branches in high places. Thanks for watching and commenting👍. TCT

Karl when I retired in 2019 only the 16’ saw came with the hook nose Woodzig blade. It would not fit the 12’ or 14’ but possibly you could modify it with some grinding and filing. I’m going to guess the redesign from round handle to oval was about 2016. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
You’re a man after my own heart, and wise beyond your years. More power is the trick for sure. I have the Echo power pole saw and it too does a great job. If you buy any gas powered pole saw make sure you invite family and friends to come over and try it. From experience I’ll tell you they will wipe you out!!!!!! You’ll be sore for days… Thanks for watching and commenting!👍TCT
Good morning Tony! Thanks for having us over and demonstrating that cool tool! Very well presented and thought out 💯👍. Definitely looks like a tool that would be enjoyable to use. I like the features that you mentioned about it and how Fiskars really puts a good focus on R&D of their products! Anyways I enjoyed the video and was entertaining :) always nice to drop by an see what your up to :). Take care Tony! Andrew from NB, Canada :)

Good one Tony !! Did they thicken the blade some on this newer model? That was my only real complaint with the old model, it actually would pinch and bend. It was (is) still a useful tool. That new model looks like something I need. Thanks ! 👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
Rick it might be a few thousands thicker but the blade geometry is different and more aggressive. Plus it has the curved beak in front so your blade doesn’t pull out of your kerf. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
Daniel pole saws are a tool you seldom use but when you do need it it’s handy to have a good one. It helps keep the foul language to a minimum 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
You're 100% right about the flex, lol I have had 4 poles together and stood on a 14 ft orchard ladder at a tree job, the climber never showed up. 🤣 talk about a workout. . Longest 12 minutes of my life! Fiskars does make a good home owner setup. I just wish the fiberglass holes in the extension part were reinforced... no problems as of yet, but maybe it doesn't need them. I think I have the 16 ft model. It was 64 or 84 dollars at homedepot, very good cutting teeth and pruning blade
It definitely sounds like you had a workout!!! Sounds like you have the 16', the easy way to tell is the 16' is the only one with the saw blade that has a hook tip so you don't pull the blade out of the kerf when sawing. As I mentioned it is the best homeowner saw out there with Pro features built in. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍 TCT
Thanks Tony- I really like that Fiskars pole saw. I might just have to pick one up. I use my Sthil Kombi system a lot. The pole saw and blower the most.
Richard the Stihl Komi kit is an awesome piece of equipment.. The main advantage the Fiskars has is the 16’ length, other than that the Kombi kit is the way to go. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT

Hi Tony. Are the saw blades interchangeable between the various Fiskars pole saws? That would be so nice! And, if not, is there a tooth configuration and size difference between the various models! I recently bought the X27, X25 and X15 axes. Very good axes. Tired of replacing wooden handles on my conventional axes, that is if I can find them and cost prohibitive to import here in Canada.from the States. Thanks for your videos. Subscribed. Say hello to Chris, your new best buddy! Norm 🍁🍻
Norm, Chris is still the “best former best friend I’ve ever had” 😂 The 16’ pole saw uses a 15” Woodzig saw blade specifically made for that saw and was not interchangeable with any other pole saw (that was 4 years ago). The product managers felt they wanted to offer the best blade on the most premium saw. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing . 👍TCT
Been looking at this mysterious jumble of a tool [that looks so complicated] for over 3 weeks, but could help with a "forever young" Japanese Maple that grows faster each year. Had no idea how you operated such a tool that seemed "helpful" for my situation. This is exactly the kind of video that helps those of us who have a desire to do something, but we're in need of educating. Your video removed the mystery of "how on earth you use such a contraption". I've been using a ladder and a branch looper that's maybe ..3' long. The right tool for the right job is always the best choice. Been looking at these Fiskars at Costco but could not decipher how they worked. Now I know..feed a person a fish 1 day & they eat one day..teach a person to fish...all the questions about this device have been answered. Thank you for removing the mystery on how these Fiskar Trimmers work.
I definitely like the x27. Think I add the shorter one for a wedge banger. I wanna get one the pruners you showed in few back. Sure looks like spring hard to believe another foot snow. Winter not letting up here this year. Not ton snow but cold. Keep up the good work.
Dan, You’ll definitely enjoy the Fiskars Pruning Stik. You’re right it’s hard to believe spring is so close with 14” of snow on the ground in my area. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Well the really good ones are $200 to $300 and for the average guy or gal who only use it occasionally thats way to much to pay. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I would take your advice Tony ! I did have a nice one too, my neighbor asked if he could use it less say it didn’t came back the same as once was! Will look into it! Thank you Tony!

I have a few palm trees in my backyard and I’m one of those I fix everything myself people the cost of getting the trees serviced once is 300 so this pays for itself
I have the round handle Fiskars pole saw now and it looks like every issue I've had with that frustrating piece of equipment has been addressed with this upgraded design. Time for a new pole saw for spring. Thanks Tony.
Yup I too had one of the old round pole saws and was frustrated when using it. This upgraded version is definitely much, much better. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools You are surely welcome, Tony. We are finished with the IBC totes for now and about half finished with the pallets. Thank you for asking.

You’re right it’s hard to believe spring is so close with 14” of snow on the ground in my area.

A good pole saw is hard to fine. Thanks for sharing. I have a knock off version and it’s fine but not great.
Well the really good ones are $200 to $300 and for the average guy or gal who only use it occasionally thats way to much to pay.

I would take your advice Tony ! I did have a nice one too, my neighbor asked if he could use it less say it didn’t came back the same as once was! Will look into it! Thank you Tony!
Yup I try not to borrow my wife, tools or money not necessarily in that order😂
Borrowing tools is always a gamble. I typically tell people I don’t borrow my tools but I’d be more than happy to help you out.

I have a few palm trees in my backyard and I’m one of those I fix everything myself people the cost of getting the trees serviced once is 300 so this pays for itself
@@jab9826 good for you👍👍👍👍👍
I have the round handle Fiskars pole saw now and it looks like every issue I've had with that frustrating piece of equipment has been addressed with this upgraded design. Time for a new pole saw for spring. Thanks Tony.
Yup I too had one of the old round pole saws and was frustrated when using it.
This upgraded version is definitely much, much better.

@@TonysCoolTools You are surely welcome, Tony. We are finished with the IBC totes for now and about half finished with the pallets. Thank you for asking.
@@TonysCoolTools Hi Tony! Thanks for the encouragement! We're still working on the pallets. We really enjoy your channel.
@@LoriSmithsspro It seems like the work is never ending but the nice thing is you can see immediate results. You guys be safe TCT
@@TonysCoolTools Same to you. We were just watching the video about the Bluetti generator. You always set the scene so well. Really good review!
That would definitely be a nice tool to have! Thanks for sharing Tony👍👍
Jeremiah with as much cutting as you do it definitely would be handy!
Appreciate you watching and commenting.
As always great video
Really like your firewood stand.
Maybe a video on that?
Dan I’ve been meaning to do a video on my two firewood stands and that probably will be in an upcoming segment.
Glad you enjoyed the video.

Definitely need one of these. Thanks for sharing Tony. I saw a pole that said your pole saw video was the best. Har har.
Ha ha Tony, your puns will never get old!

Great video. I really like the saw!👍🏻, Being more south I’m always curious of how y’all deal with snow, etc. 🇺🇸👏🏻👍🏻
Well as I got older I just got bigger equipment to handle the snow so I don’t get a heart attack. Check out my video on snow removal.

@@TonysCoolToolsJust wanted to come back and report this pole saw is indeed great! I'm in need of a new blade but have used it quite a bit! Solid purchase here though! Thanks Tony!
Awesome video Tony looks like a great pruner for the home owner 👍👍🇺🇸

Hi Tony thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That’s a great improvement on the Home D version!
Jeff it’s been some time since I’ve been to THD. So I’m not familiar with what they have. Fiskars normally is stocked in one of the three majors (Walmart, THD or Lowe’s)

Great product review, Tony. I really like the oval handle on that pole saw...it definitely is easier on the hands. I wish my LogRite pickaroon came with an oval handle. I still love my Echo pole saw. Keep up the great work! 🇺🇸🪓🪵🌲🪵🪓🪵🌲🪵🪓🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫
The oval handle definitely hakes a difference.
I agree I think the oval handle would make the LogRite more comfortable..
I too love my Echo pole saw as well, however it wears me out!
