Product Description
A True Professional Heavy Duty Aluminum Pole Saw – the pole saw of choice by professionals. 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. Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

cajun-dancer is someone who likes to complain. That’s apparent.
He strikes me as someone who likes to get something for free.
There’s no value in free or cajun-dancer for that matter. He reminds me of my grandmother on my fathers side.

if you think this will be ‘like cutting butter’, then you will be rudely mistaken. the blade is sharp, but not as sharp as i had hoped. it took a fair amount of effort to go through oak branches.
the pole when fully extended, again cutting oak, bends a great deal. i can easily envision the pole segments bending and not being able to retract.
the levers to hold the pole at a specific length let the pole shaft in fact let the pole segment slip, it did NOT hold it. actually, my top segment, the smallest, pulled completely out of the shaft and it with the blade hung up in the tree, a ladder was needed to retreive it.
great strength is needed when at full extension to keep the saw from falling along with the branch. try holding a weight out 21 feet..and you can understand the strength needed to keep the saw from banging to earth. happened a couple of times and i was concerned when i saw the blade flex, i was concerned it had bent.
the part for undescoring a branch to keep the bark from ripping down the trunk is not very effective for larger branches, which cause more damage, and is from my experience, useless at higher branches.
the blade kept skipping along the branch and was hard to keep in the cut, more so at higher branches where it is hard to control the cutting action. the blade was not as stiff as i had expected. i can see where it could bend and kink given the right branch and angle, or the right fall when you just can no hold it out 21 feet..the saw is not light and after a few minutes it seems to be as heavy as a sumo wrestler.
would i buy it had i known, not even close.
what do i think it is worth, well, i was using an aluminum pole from my small sailboat mast,with a blade i got at home depot that i had bolted on, and it worked about as good.
so at 175 with shipping..it to me is mot a close call. so at half the price, maybe…

I’m sure this is the last saw I’ll ever buy. WOW! It cut through hardwood like a hot knife through butter. This is the finest tool I’ve bought in years! Leave it to the Japanese.
I wish the US. Could make something better but they haven’t yet.
I’m more than satisfied!!!

This is an excellent saw for anyone with big trees in their yard. Sure; it’s not cheap, but the blade is incredibly sharp and sturdy and the lightweight handle makes a huge difference. It won’t get bound up and have cursing like the $100 one you can get at home depot. This saw is such a delight to use, you’ll be looking for an excuse to use it.

Up until recently, I was using a pole saw/lopper combo that I bought from a big box retailer. Thought that all pole saws were pretty much the same. Boy, was I wrong!
I purchased the 21 foot version of this, and have been absolutely amazed at how well it works. First and foremost, the saw itself is incredible. Cuts through limbs like butter. It has a blade so you can score the bark to prevent tearing, and is built to minimize (actually, pretty much eliminate) having the saw get bound into the cut.. I’ve gone through 6+ inch branches without any problem. Just let the saw do the work, and remember that it is only cutting on the downstroke.
The pole itself is also a pleasure to use. Very lightweight, but still sturdy. It has a double locking method (a button that clicks into a hole, plus the customary friction snaps) that completely prevents the pole collapsing regardless of how rigorous you’re sawing. Note, however, that it is not infinitely adjustable — to use both methods to secure the pole, you have to fully extend each segment. Now, you can use just the friction snaps and they will hold the pole, but not as securely as using both methods.
There’s another model (Hyate) that is even more advanced, with a more rigid pole and even better saw. I went with the Hayauchi for three reasons: cost, lighter weight, and (most important) the fact that you can purchase a lopper head attachment. The latter is not made by Silky, but, from what I’ve read so far, is of comparable quality. It only fits on the Hayauchi, so if you want to switch out the blade for a lopper, this is your only option. I have not yet purchased the lopper head, but will update this review once I have it and have used it a bit.
There’s also two options for a hook. Get the hook that only works with the Hayauchi, NOT the Hook Fox. The Hayauchi-only hook attaches more securely to the pole than the Hook Fox (plus is about half the cost).
If you’re looking to do some trimming without using a ladder, this tool is a must have. For me, it’s paid for itself many times over already since it eliminated the need to hire a tree guy to prune the higher limbs. Plus, just like in Kill Bill, you can be armed with some fantastic Japanese steel!
