A pole saw is a specialized tool designed for trimming and pruning trees and shrubs. It features a long, extendable pole that allows users to reach high branches without the need for a ladder. The cutting mechanism is typically a chainsaw or a saw blade attached to the end of the pole, making it efficient for cutting through thick limbs. These tools come in various types, including manual pole saws and electric pole saws. Manual versions require physical effort to operate, while electric models offer more power and ease of use. Pole saws are popular among gardeners, landscapers, and homeowners for maintaining trees and enhancing outdoor spaces.
