Silky 370-42 Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw HAYATE 420 12-Feet.

State-of-the-art, heavy-duty, aluminum telescoping pole saw - the pole saw of choice by professionals. Thick aluminum alloy extension poles are oval shaped, providing precise control over the direction of the blade (especially important for high cutting) thus reducing bending to the minimum. The base pole has a pole-end shock absorber and comfortable rubberized overgrip. The 16-21/2-inch curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky MIRAI-ME (Smooth Cutting) Technology - The Teeth of the Future! The precision-ground, razor-sharp, super-aggressive teeth with four cutting angles provide extremely fast cutting action. The taper-ground profile reduces drag and directs more usable energy to the cutting edge. The blade features replaceable lower sickle for small branches and undercutting bark. HAYATE is manufactured with high visibility colors and comes equipped with a new advanced design sheath with a built-in carrying handle. It is ideal for pruning large branches at higher position without ever climbing a ladder. This is the strongest and fastest telescoping pole saw available on the market today. Made in Japan.

To allow effective use of HAYATE pole saws, two locking systems are incorporated to assure structural rigidity of the extended poles: 1) locking pins/buttons - the primary pole locking mechanism; and 2) friction clamps - the secondary pole locking mechanism. The two systems are designed to work together. This dual locking system allows 100% of the effort at the handle to be effectively transferred to the blade up to 21 feet away. Spring-loaded locking buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety friction clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. Safety considerations require that the pole saw user must wear a hard hat and eye protection at all times. Manufacturer Warning: Do not use aluminum telescoping pole saws around electrical power lines or equipment. Electrical shock may result. Incorrect use of the Silky pole saw may cause injury.

Customer’s reviews Silky 370-42.

“I was amazed at how light and well-balanced this 12′ pole saw was and how quickly it cuts. I can extend it over my head at full arms reach and drop it over a branch 20′ off the ground and quickly cut the limb. This saw cuts 1″ fir limbs in one or two strokes and 4″ fir limbs in just a few seconds, yet will not snag and hang up on even the smallest limb. In the week I have had it I have cut hundreds of fir limbs and dozens of oak limbs - even a 4″ oak branch can be cut in about 1 minute. It was only with 7″ oak branches that I felt that I might have tackled too much, though I could still cut the large branches. I really love the sickle for cutting small branches and preventing bark tears. Years ago I purchased a different pole saw but the blade was so aggressive that it dug into the branch and quickly bound up.

On this saw even when the branch twisted and pinched the blade tight, I was able to pull hard and complete the cut. I have been given two other pole saws but they do not extend and they cut slowly. I had planned to buy either a battery powered electric saw like the Black and Decker pole saw or a gas saw like the Echo - but I hefted the saws in big box stores and found them heavy and awkward. At 65 years old, I was afraid I would be unable to handle them. I was also worried about the batteries running down too quickly on the B&D and also about battery failure. I am so thankful I decided on the Silky Hayate 12 foot pole saw. It was clearly worth the extra cost of buying the best - it is a lifetime tool that will be passed on to my children.”
