Jameson JA-34DP-PKG Big Mouth Side Cut Double Pulley Tree Pruner Kit

This is the one you should buy. Hook it on the branch hold the pole and rope with one hand pull the rope with the other. It’s a long pull but works great. Pretty much two 6 foot poles is manageable more than that is pretty hard to control.

Works good. Better quality than what can be purchased locally arrived on date as quoted. If you use three poles it’s a little hard th control. 2 poles and the 3 footer works good and easy to control.

Liked: Worked as expected based on Amazon's product description and reviewer comments. To date, has worked best for me with just a 6 ft. LS base pole. I haven't tried it with heavier duty Jameson poles.Disliked: Although not a fault of this pruner kit, I found that using this at the end of a 6 ft. Jameson LS-6 Extension Pole coupled to a 6 ft. LS base pole (the green ones) for a 12 ft. reach, this pole combination flexed into an arc as I made a cut well within the rating of the pruner. Not as extreme a bend as, say, a pole vaulter's pole flex, but reminded me of that. This required more rope length to be pulled to complete the cut (the length of rope you have to pull without pole flex is already pretty long). I anticipate, too, that this flexing would weaken these poles over time (with risk of a dangerous break increasing over time) if they are not put to lighter duty, less flex-inducing, use. Flexing is much less with the pruner on the end of just a 6 ft. LS base pole. I will be looking to obtain a Jameson heavier duty pole combo for 12 ft. and longer reaches and larger branches with this pruner kit, and keep the LS poles for shorter heights and/or very small branches.

Good, solid, heavy duty product. Weighs a bit so get used to that but other heads i looked at were either very light duty and not long-term sturdy or were heavier. I love the double pulley; for me I can reach up and grab the rope nd pull it in one go, but folks with shorter arms may need two “half” pulls. Get a silicone lubricant spray (I used the Liquid Wrench brand as that is what I have on hand) and thoroughly lube EVERY pivot point including between the pulleys and the metal pulley enclosure then let it dry before using it. I tried a before cutting and lubed it and an after cut and it is a huge diff in ease of use even wothout actually using it to cut. I found using it with two of the 6 foot extension poles to be ideal, but 3 was also useable.

Quality construction. USA made.

If it's an option for you, get this clipper with thebigger cutting size and the double pulley. You'll likely be wanting/needing to cut bigger branches. The double pulley seems to help as well. This is one purchase I didn't really want to have to make, but don't regret paying the higher price for the better qualityFeels like it is better quality than the pole cutters you get at the local big box store. After using it, I'm certain of it. I've used several brands of pole clippers and this was worth the expense. I've had it on 21ft poles and it worked as well as I could hope (poles will bend). This clipper does not come with poles; I got Jameson fiberglass poles and the saw blade too, sold separately. Unless you just have small branches I'd suggest getting a saw blade too.

Great for trimming palms and other branches!We have a very large, very tall palm tree, it needs trimming about every 3 months. A saw was too difficult, the limbs bent more than cut, or just cut part way and dangled. This works amazing. I use two pole sections, hook it over the limb to be cut and pull the rope. As others have mentioned, it is a long pull because you are using leverage, but it is not hard. The branch is cut neatly and easily. This saved me from hiring a tree trimmer.

This is a truly outstanding, professional-quality pruning head.The only problem is that it's VERY heavy, so it can't be used on a pole that's too long, even light-weight ones sold by Jameson. It's completely unwieldy on a long pole (like 20 ft).Also, keep in mind that with a double pully, while it's easier to make a cut, you have to pull the rope twice as far to do it. So you have to hold the rope pretty high before making a cut. If the extra ease of cutting isn't a big deal, maybe the single-pulley version of this head would be a better choice.In any case, I'm extremely satisfied with this pruner head. You can just SEE the precision in the details of manufacture when you look at it (in person).They say that it's easy to take apart to sharpen but didn't come with instructions as to how (other than the usual, obvious way).

llego en tiempo y forma, cumple con lo descrito por el vendedor.

I'm a full time arborist and use so meny lopping poles dont miss out on these might be expensive but you will not need to bye more for years to come

الجودة ممتازة ولكنها ثقيلة نوعاً ما وخصوصاً اذا كانت العصا طويلة

Cutting down trees branches etc. It would have been better if retractable pole was included .

Its a little bit heavy.
