Can it be used for trimming palm tree fronds?

I think you can, so long as the blade is above the cut. Otherwise the weight of the frond will cause it ti pinch, and then you have a real problem to get it loose. I would prefer a saw with teeth closer together for that job, or much higher speed, as in a regular gas engine saw

Yes, it can be used to trim palm tree fronds at appropriate angle. Just make sure to take safety precautions first. Don't overreach.

I don't no! It worked one day and then never again. Company never replaced it either.

Yes, and if you go to their website it says you can use it on palms. http://www.miraclegro.com/smg/goprod/miracle-gro-continuous-release-palm-plant-food/prod70324 scroll down to "where to use" and it says outdoor and indoor palms.

Not if they are potted! I ended up cutting all the palm leaves and they grew back within days healthier than ever!

I am not sure what fronds are but the saw worked great on my white burch tree when I trimmed the tree.

I'm not sure how strong palm roots are. But i will say the design of this tool is structurally sound for its intended purpose.I'm not sure what standard extender is?? the shaft diameter of this tool is for a standard 1/2" chuck drill

I used it to chop down an apple tree, so a coconut (or durian) should be no problem. Just beware the sharpness, and be sure to stabilize the coconut so that it doesn't roll.

I have cut a few small tree limbs with it. It does that OK. Clearing brush with this knife would be quite a chore. Thats not really what it is designed for.

It should work for that. I was putting a lot of force on it to pull palm branches that were still attached to the tree

I now trim about every branch that is not within easy reach on our fruit trees with this pruner than with a hand pruner and ladder. The only limitation of course is the diameter of the branch you are cutting. After I've done all I can with the fiskars, I get out the ladder and geared lopper (or pole saw) to get the few branches remaining that are too big for the fiskars.

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush. The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

No, the coconut is too heavy for this tool. It does not have a blade to assist in cutting the attachment stem.This tool is excellent for picking apples, oranges, avocados, limes and lemons. We found picking papayas challenging but possible.

Not likely. It needs rigid resistance like any other saw. Not great for chopping anything that's already on the ground either. I've sawed down trees that were 8 inches across and hundreds and hundreds of dead branches off of trees. That's what this is designed for.

The "scissor" action of the blades is between two and three inches. You'll be able to cut palm fronds off of the tree at their base easily, but trimming the wide flat portion of the fronds would not be easy/possible with this tool. BTW I used this tool all weekend trimming tall pines and holly and could not have survived without it.

I believe you do, since it's a palm. I only used on my hibiscus tree and I'm having great results!!

I have not used this to peel mangos yet, but it is very sharp, so I would imagine it would work fine.

Standard extension works with no problem. I have had no experience against palm roots, but it has not had any problems cutting through standard yard root if battery on drill is fully charged.
