[AT] Fw: Chainsaw Ramblings - now chainsaw pruning poles

[Larry Goss]

I have a Black & Decker electric pole saw from Home Depot.  I don't need it often, but when I do, I want it now.  I think it only cost around $120.  I used it a couple of months ago to trim the foliage of a pine tree around a dusk to dawn light so you could see the light again.  I set up a 12-foot step ladder in the bed of a trailer and stood near the top while I operated the saw with the pole completely outstretched with one hand.  It was not exactly an OSHA approved working condition, but it got the job done.
