I had hoped this pruner would be decent quality. I was wrong:

1. The head is die stamped and not of high quality.
2. It says there are gears. There are no gears, just pulleys.
3. The whole thing fell into pieces mid-air while I was cutting a branch. I couldn't locate all the pieces to send back.

Don't buy this tool.

The Gilmour Tree Pruner does the job required. I would recommend only using the 18ft length when really required since this will limit the amount of leverage you can apply. The blade saws branches very quickly and the tree pruning cutter does an excellent job of trimming without jamming on the branch. The pulleys give a nice two-to-one ratio which allows for more leverage when using the pruner. This tree pruner was purchased from Deerso which was very fast in shipping the product.

The tree pruner arrived on time and was put to immediate use. Even though it is made out of fiber glass it is still a bit heavy - but manageable. There were no directions on how to thread the rope for cutting branches. I did the best I could and then a friend showed me a better way. The saw cut very well even with the pruner at nearly full extension. I believe it will come in very handy in the future.
