does it really work on trees

Yes, used it to drag fallen limbs out of a pond but haven't used it to climb anything yet!

Yes if you have the certain skill. I've had mine for about half a year and I use it to climb this one tree. Consider sharpening the edges so that it can get a better grip. Also this grappling hook twists around so use some tape.

Yes, my 9 year old has climbed all the trees he can find. It is a little heavy for a 9 yr old so he doesn't climb very high but it will catch and hold.

it works but the weight is a big factor. It all depends on the intent. I used it as a swing for my granddaughters. If you want something more professional you have to pay about 150 USD and you will be set. I hope this helps.

It works to hook on to branches but only for simulation imaginary play experiences. I wouldn't trust it for "actual" use.

I have used it on a silver maple and it is still sprouting up little ones. Has not worked for me.

No, it will not harm the tree, just do not get spray on the tree, the bark or exposed/ surface roots.

It does have an attached wand for spraying, so depending upon how tall your trees are, it should work. I can't remember if the wand is pumping, if the back sprayers spray or not. I supposed you could disable the sprayers in the back if you are just wanting to spray your trees.

Seems to. We used it on apples from our own trees - all different shapes and sizes. I'm still amazed!

I only used it twice last Fall but it worked fine. It cleaned up really big piles of oak leaves.

We've used it on various weeds - it kills the leaves it touches, but then more leaves grow...might work over time, but a lot goes only a little way, particularly in a field (which is where we used it also).

In my limited experience, if the pine needles are dry, it does OK. It gets stuck alot if they are wet. It is not a vacuum cleaner but does OK in picking up some of our pine needles. Works great on leaves, even if they are not entirely dry.

I just used this tool for the first time yesterday. I was not able to use the saw part because I was trimming hemlocks turned into a gigantic hedge. Whether the saw works or not depends entirely on whether the branch you are cutting will move. If you are cutting a branch close to the trunk of a sturdy tree, it should work with effort. If the branch or trunks moves with the saw, as with my hemlocks, you will never cut through.

You can use it around trees. it's not enough to kill a tree. Be careful with shrubs. it will kill the leaves on them (turn them yellow). but if you trim those, the shrubs will sustain. I have used it around shrubs for weeds and just pruned the dying leaves out.

Yes, I've read that it works, but ONLY on a LIVING, FRESHLY CUT stump. I remember reading someone else's post that, if you want to kill the stump, you need to apply this weed killer to the stump immediately after cutting the plant/bush/tree. If you wait too long, the plant forms a 'scab' (I don't remember the correct term) and then the weed killer will NO LONGER work. Depending on the size of the stump, you could apply the weed killer with a cotton swab, a foam brush or a bristle brush. You just have to apply it promptly! If the stump is still alive - and it hasn't 'scabbed over', yet - then the stump should suck the weed killer down to the roots, killing the stump.

Initially you see no results, but over a month or so, it really cleans the sidewalk and it stays clean. If the sidewalk is under trees that portion will need to be resprayed, and does not stay as clean as the portion that has sunshine. I used it last year and the section in the sun has remained really clean.

Ihave used it on pine and oak without any issues it will get a little bit loaded up after extended use but a wire bush takes care of that in a hurry!

No, it does not. It is designed for small jobs such as blowing leaves, acorn shells, debris from patios and decks. It works great for small jobs. We have patios and decks. We're very pleased with it for the money.

I am not sure that it works. My neighbor thinks it does. I used it very generously around the plants, shrubs, and trees in the backyard near the woods. Since I have blinking lights, owls, etc., I can only hope that the product worked. It is rather expensive and did not last very long. In spite of my comments, give it a try.

Yes, with practice and a full battery, if it will open around the tree it will cut it, does really well with softwoods.

No, it will not enter the tree if you are just spraying around it at the proper mixture. Thank you
