Tools and Hardware Reviews of High Limb CS-48 Rope-and-Chain Saw

Customer Review: A Neat Idea, but Not Ready for Prime Time
Summary: 1 Stars

A Super idea - here's a way to cut a limb that is too high to climb to and/or too thick to use your pruning saw on.

That's about as far as it goes - the way it's *supposed* to work.

Unfortunately, there are several problems actually making the concept work:

Getting the saw up there - yep, there is the "throwing bag" - which if you have a good, accurate arm and handle the loose rope well - will get the saw over the branch. However, if your aim isn't so good, or if there are several branches in the way, or too many twigs, etc - it can take several (many) tries to get this to work.

Another user mention that the device for "flipping" the blade right-side-up is iffy at best. This is especially true (again) if there are twigs near where you want to cut that prevent the blade weight from flipping the blade.

Anybody who's cut branches off of trees knows that occasionally a saw blade gets "pinched" and stuck. That's a big pain on the ground - but when it happens with this tool, the stuck saw blade is up to 25' overhead. Whatcha gonna do now? If you're lucky enough to have the branch sawed through enough that it's started to come down, you can grab it and pull and bounce on it and it will probably break free bringing the saw back to earth. Another user mentioned that his chain broke when this happened. If the branch won't break off - then you either have to climb anyway (if you even can) or - you get to leave your expensive saw UP in the tree and you're worse off than you started.

Finally, anybody who knows about pruning limbs off of trees that you want to keep knows that it takes THREE cuts to do this properly - and that one of them needs to be made from bottom of the branch to keep the bark from tearing. That's just impossible with this tool. So resign yourself to a very messy, unprofessional job.

So - buy this tool if you're OUT of other options - and resign yourself to the fact that you may STILL have to climb to finish the job and get your saw back down. I have used this tool to make 5 or 6 cuts - but every one of them had problems, and only one of them looks like a decent pruning job. The rest look like an amateur did it. I still had to climb for most of those cuts.
