Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Lightweight, professional-grade aluminum telescoping pole saw - the pole saw of choice by professionals. The 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 13-inch impulse-hardened curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky MIRAI-ME (Smooth Cutting) Technology - The Teeth of the Future! The precision-ground, razor-sharp teeth with four cutting angles provide fast, clean and extremely smooth cutting action. The taper-ground profile reduces drag and directs more usable energy to the cutting edge. It is ideal for pruning branches at higher position without ever climbing a ladder. Black rigid-plastic blade cover is included. Made in Japan. To allow effective use of ZUBAT 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars End cap fell off, February 18, 2012

This review is from: Silky Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw ZUBAT 330 9-Feet 272-12 (Lawn & Patio)

I used my Silky Zubat telescoping 9-foot saw twice and the 'cup' or 'cap' on the end fell off. It appeared to have been glued on and I could not replace it because of the glob of glue - it no longer fit. Also, the wrapping at the end came loose.

I love the saw - it is the best pole saw I've ever used - except for this problem. I called the Silky Saw company and talked to Irene - they told me to buy some gorilla glue and fix it myself. Although I could not get the cap all the way back on, I resorted to screwing it on with 4 screws. I was disappointed that the company did not stand behind their product better. Disappointed in Washington.
