Wicked Tree Gear wanted to make the toughest saw on earth, and it looks like they might have. We haven't seen a pole saw that can take a beating like these can. With a closed length of just 18", it is perfect to keep behind the seat of your pickup truck and easy to carry with you, through the orchard, field or out camping or hunting. The cast aluminum saw head folds sideways and latches in an open position so there's no stress on the hinge in use. When extended the pole saw feels like it's all one piece, there's no flop in the blade and the joints tighten firmly.
