A manual pole saw is a long-handled tool designed for trimming and pruning branches that are out of reach. It typically features a saw blade attached to a pole, allowing users to cut high branches without the need for a ladder. These saws are often lightweight and easy to maneuver, making them suitable for home gardeners and landscapers. Manual pole saws come in various sizes and designs, with some featuring extendable poles for added reach. They are a more environmentally friendly option compared to powered saws, as they do not require fuel or electricity. Proper use and maintenance can ensure longevity and effectiveness in tree care.
