I spent significant time researching extension pole saws that I could use to prune the many hard and softwood trees on my property without incurring the expense of a professional tree company. I was impressed by the 21' Silky Hayauchi but very skeptical about its ability to cut branches at this distance off the ground. I was also skeptical of my ability at age 66 to physically handle this saw at such an extreme height. I called the Silky Store and spoke to a representative regarding my concerns. They advised that I would not experience any problems as long as I engaged the double locking system on each pole extension and allowed the saw to do the work. They explained that the blade was designed to cut only on the pull stroke and that gravity would provide most of the required cutting force. The effort required on the push stroke would be minimal since no cutting occurs on the up stroke. Based on their advice and the Silky guaranty I purchased the 21' Hayauchi pole saw. I received it in 2 days! I was totally amazed with the incredible performance of this very high quality saw. I easily cut large limbs at least 20' or more off the ground. The guideance received from the Silky Store representative combined with my actual experience with this superior quality tool was very impressive. I intend to purchase additional Silky saws from the Silky Store.

The Hayauchi pole saw has rigid aluminum poles that quickly extend to desired cutting length. The base pole has a comfortable rubber grip. The extension lock with spring loaded buttons at the end of each length. The nearly 16-inch blade not only sports the largest teeth available in a razor tooth design, but has a sharpened base and tip for scoring the branch, to avoid ripping damage to the branch collar. The upper sickle is used to cut vines; the lower one - to undercut bark allowing a clean cut without damaging the tree. The aluminum alloy extension pole is oval shaped, giving precise control to the direction of the saw blade (especially important for high cutting) and also giving strength and rigidity to the pole, reducing bending to the minimum. Push buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. A rubber hand-grip ensures good hold and control. The blade is adjustable for lower or higher cutting.Replacement parts list (340K pdf file)Product Features: 3-Extensions (4 poles) model that extends to 21 feetExtension range 7'-8" to 21' Maximum working reach 25 feet 15.35" (390mm) length chrome plated blade with 5.5 teeth per inch (6.5 teeth per 30mm) Approximate weight 6.73lbg (3000g) A lightweight and rigid aluminum oval shaped pole Double lock system insures your safety while working Comes with its own full length, hard plastic scabbard Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanshipDo not use this item near electrical hazards.

Tanaka TBC-255SFK Commercial Grade Gas-Powered Powerhead Grass Trimmer/Stick Edger/Pole Saw 3-in-1 Combo Kit (CARB Compliant) Review

Tanaka TBC-255SFK Commercial Grade Gas-Powered Powerhead Grass Trimmer/Stick Edger/Pole Saw 3-in-1 Combo Kit (CARB Compliant)

I searched high and low for a combo kit (edger/string trimmer/saw) and there were really only two choices, Echo's PAS-225VP and this Tanak TBC-255SFK. After looking at the specs and using both, I am glad I went with this Tanaka.
First and foremost, the powerhead. The Echo's power plant is only 21.2cc, compared to the Tanaka's 25cc motor. To get the same amount of power from Echo you would have to upgrade to the PAS-265, which is $310 with no attachments.
And it's not just the power, it's everything combined.
The Tanaka is CARB compliant, Echo isn't.
This Tanaka is quieter (approximately 80db with Tanaka's copolymer quiet line, compared to 90db from the Echo).
The Tanaka is lighter (11.7 lbs vs. 12.4 lbs).
And there is much more and It just all adds up to a better combo kit.
As for each attachment, Tanaka has the leg up once again.
Connecting each attachment is as simple as inserting the attachment into the powerhead and tightening a handle.
The string trimmer's "No Brainer" system is just that. Push the button and insert a 12" stick of line and you're done! No winding a spool, no "bumping" to get line to come out, it just couldn't be easier. And the line itself does a better job cutting then regular string trimmer line and is MUCH quieter so quiet all you can here is the grass and weeds being destroyed and the motor, no whirling or wizzing of the string.
The edger takes some getting use to (coming from someone who has never used an edger), but once you figure out the technique you wonder why you waited so long to buy one. It also works great for cutting the sod for laying brick/stones/patio blocks.
And the pole saw attachment works just as you would expect. An Oregon bar and chain are included so you know quality isn't an issue and parts are readily available for replacement.
The included instructions weren't all that helpful, however they really aren't needed since practically everything comes preassembled. The only things I had to do was attach the handle to the power head (three bolts and nuts), attach the string trimmer guard (two steel brackets and two screws) and that was it! I did have to remove the chain from the saw because it came installed backwards from the factory, not much of an issue.
On top of all of this, Hitachi (the parent company of Tanaka) backs all of this up with a seven year consumer warranty!
If you love yard work and want your yard looking professionally manicured, there is no way you can beat the quality and performance of this Tanaka kit.
Pros:
Made in Japan (take that China!)
Quieter then most any string trimmer on the market.
CARB compliant.
No Brainer string head is just way too easy.
Fast and easy starts.
Has a Walbro carburetor!
Well built, all of the plastic pieces are metal reinforced.
Has many more accessories available for purchase.
Most everything is module for easy replacement of parts (if/when they wear out).
Cons:
Instructions/manual not all that in depth.

Quickly and easily turn this commercial powerhead into a grass trimmer, pole saw, and stick edger with Tanaka's 3-in-1 professional yard maintenance kit.On March 1, 1998, Tanaka became the first two-stroke manufacturer to certify to the stringent C.A.R.B. Tier II emissions regulations. While most other manufacturers tried to fight the standard and say that it could not be done with two-stroke, Tanaka did it.Today, all Tanaka products comply with EPA phase 2 regulations and all Tanaka product groups are C.A.R.B Tier II compliant.
