A pole saw is basically a small chainsaws on a pole: it allows you to reach above your head to lop off branches that need trimming.
Most are lightweight, easy to maneuver and make the overhead jobs much safer because you do not need to get up on a ladder as often. As long as you don’t cut directly above your head, that is.
There are a number of reasons to invest in a pole saw, but the main reason is that they are lightweight, safe and really convenient for the trimming and pruning tasks. It’s a lot safer to use a pole saw than it is to try and tackle higher tree branches without one.
Of the two types (electric and gas) this review will cover the best electric pole saws.

Chainsaws and Ladders don’t mix!
Safety first, and no one needs to be mounting a ladder with a chainsaw. It’s just not safe.
One small study of tree care fatalities showed that 12 percent of deaths were due to accidents involving a ladder. Using a pole saw frees you up from some of that extra risk.
