Cuts tree limbs great ....but.., October 15, 2001
This review is from: Corona Clipper 12-Foot Compound Action 1-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner With 13-Inch Saw Blade, Telescoping Fiberglass Handle & Non-Slip Grip TP 3841 (Lawn & Patio)
I thought about purchasing this item through ... but found it for less than the ... price listed at the time of this review.
None the less, this product does a pretty good job at cutting and extending to lengths that reach most of the limbs of a reasonably sized tree found in yards of most residences.
There were two things that stood out as far as dealing with this item. The minor of these is that the saw blade that is attached to the working end of this pole seems a bit too flexible. Would have been nice if it was made of sturdier metal. It was good however once you get a start in the cutting of the tree limb! Nice and sharp!
The second, more troublesome aspect, was that the screw-down, that keeps the pole from extending (more than your desired length) would sometimes allow the pole to slip through during the cutting of a limb. Hopefully, with use, this will eventually no longer occur.
Other than that, the foam grip area on the lower portion of the pole makes for a really great grip when in use.
And as far as the pruning blade goes; it was very easy to trim small branches!
While purchasing this item I saw others that had plastic/nylon parts. This one has metal (where the saw and prunining mechanism are attached).
Overall, I would say this is a good product to take care of most of your tree branch cutting needs.

Unhappy pruner, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Corona Clipper 12-Foot Compound Action 1-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner With 13-Inch Saw Blade, Telescoping Fiberglass Handle & Non-Slip Grip TP 3841 (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this pruner after my 22 years with my old pruner. We have a lot of trees, & the pruner gets used 4 to 5 times a year. This pruner constantly plugs, so I have to manually open the jaws. The screw holding the saw in place stripped & I cannot use the saw now. A very poor pruner for the price.. The handle is lightweight, so I now have an extension for my apple picker. Still looking for a new pruner.

Screw strips out with normal use., September 17, 2003

This review is from: Corona Clipper 12-Foot Compound Action 1-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner With 13-Inch Saw Blade, Telescoping Fiberglass Handle & Non-Slip Grip TP 3841 (Lawn & Patio)
The metal strips out that a screw that holds the balde turns into. The blade and tool can then not be used and the tool becomes useless. This occured with below normal home use.
