Uh... is yours different from mine guys? The pole is NOT telescopic. It's a fixed unit. As you can see in the photo, the wire is embedded in the pole which fits together.

My husband has 3 poles and with 3 poles it does not work real well. Less than 3 poles is excellent. I don't know if you could even buy another pole. I would not reccomend another pole even if you could. But I am very pleased with my 2 poles. It cuts great and is easy to do. We use it all the time.

The Remington is a complete pole saw including engine as in the photo. Just for info, it is made by MTD. The reason I know is I was directed to MTD to ask a questiuon about the Remington pole saw. My question was does it have a clutch. The answer is yes. The chain doesn't turn until the engine is speed in increased. This is a good feature. .... Doug / Tx

I don't have their telescoping pruner, so I can't compare. I can tell you that I've used the fixed length pruner all summer long. It cut everything that I put in the jaws so far; thin and thick. It seems no worse for the wear.

The pole measures 8 ft 6 in from the middle of the hand grip to the nearest cutting surface, the saw extends 8 inches from there Fully collapsed it is 3 ft 6 inches shorter (60 inches)

No it's a fixed length. It only pulls apart. The pole has a bungie cord that runs through the middle of the metal poles. I like it . It works well for me.

When the saw blade is attached, it is fixed and all sawing motion is supplied by the operator moving the pole. And, be careful the saw blade teeth are extremely sharp ! This is one of the finest garden tools that I have owned. Jackhammer

No to your question, just the one fixed length. However for my use it is great. Light duty (won't cut hard stock) but good for hard to reach places in roses and suckers that grow under trees and bushes. Paid for itself already for me as it is also a back saver.

The pole length may be 17' long but the effective cutting length is somewhat shorter. You will find that the 'longer' the pole is extended, the cutting becomes less effective because of the flex in the pole. From my experience, the effective cutting distance is approximately 60% of maximum length.

The manual does not specify the number of teeth. Maybe you could go to the BD site. The pole saw works great.

No length restrictions. I have this packed with about 18 rods with reels. I love it, it's lite and easy to maneuver, and I can drive up to 90 minutes with it in the bed of my truck without it topping over. All my poles are River/lake poles but it will hold less larger or thicker poles with ease. Hope this helps!

Not sure never did get to use mine cuz it didn't fit my pole. Was a little disappointed.

I just received mine. It does not work with a standard threaded pole. The grip is not the female end that could be attached to a pole. The handle is the male end and inserts into the end of an Unger made pole. It uses two spring loaded posts to hold it on the pole. Don't buy it unless you have a pole you can adapt it to.

Hope, I don't believe you can extend that model any further. Also it would not be easy to use the saw portion of it at that length. It's hard to use it at the current length when extended all the way out. The lopper would be ok if you could extend it further. I use it often. The way to go is to buy a separate lopper and pole saw it is much easier to use when the two heads are separate from each other. Corona sells a combo set for like $300 dollars or it least it use to. It's a lot of money unless you can afford it or you use the equipment a lot. When I worked for a local tree service that's the way are equipment was. Separate lopper heads and separate saw heads. :) Hope, I don't believe you can extend that model any further. Also it would not be easy to use the saw portion of it at that length.

I really do not know. I have one for my Poulon Pole saw but when I attached it and tried to use it,it vibrated so bad My hand got numb.

Unger poles have the same terminsion style, so if you can use either a standard.pole or the tele-pole system. A word of advise , do not try to use a pole that is longer than 30 ft it is really hard to control

Yes. All interchangeable. But, to add the pole extension to the hedge clipper, you have to file off a small ridge to make it align. I doubt that the company approves but it works. However, in full extension using the saw extension makes the clippers a bit difficult and heavy. Be careful.
