Pole Saw Silky Longboy with two extensions This pole saw, designed and built to stand up to daily use by professionals, can be extended out to a full 3.6 meters using two telescoping tubes. A rubber safety sheath for the blade is included. The aluminum pole is robust, and can be adjusted to any desired length. The saw has two systems to lock in the desired length: one with a spring button that provides an absolutely solid fixation, the second with a robust external clamping lever. The oval cross section of the poles provide maximal strength and stiffness. The saw blade can be guided precisely, even at full extension, because the shaft bends very little, and the sections cannot twist inside each other. Anyone who has had to work with an extension saw with wobbly linkages, or where the head twists around while cutting, will immediately appreciate this saw. The grip is encased in rubber, and ergonomically designed. The blade is 360 mm long, and has 7 teeth over 30 mm, which works out to one tooth every 4,3 mm (6 tpi). It is finished in hard chrome to fight rust, and tapers from the teeth to the back to help prevent binding in the cut.
