Product Description
A True Professional Heavy Duty Aluminum Pole Saw - the pole saw of choice by professionals. The Hayauchi pole saw has rigid aluminum poles that quickly extend to desired cutting length. The base pole has a comfortable rubber grip. The extension lock with spring loaded buttons at the end of each length. The nearly 16-inch blade not only sports the largest teeth available in a razor tooth design, but has a sharpened base and tip for scoring the branch, to avoid ripping damage to the branch collar. The upper sickle is used to cut vines; the lower one - to undercut bark allowing a clean cut without damaging the tree. The aluminum alloy extension pole is oval shaped, giving precise control to the direction of the saw blade (especially important for high cutting) and also giving strength and rigidity to the pole, reducing bending to the minimum. Push buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. A rubber hand-grip ensures good hold and control. The blade is adjustable for lower or higher cutting. Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Silky Pole Saw November 7, 2005

I spent significant time researching extension pole saws that I could use to prune the many hard and softwood trees on my property without incurring the expense of a professional tree company. I was impressed by the 21' Silky Hayauchi but very skeptical about its ability to cut branches at this distance off the ground. I was also skeptical of my ability at age 66 to physically handle this saw at such an extreme height. I called the Silky Store and spoke to a representative regarding my concerns. They advised that I would not experience any problems as long as I engaged the double locking system on each pole extension and allowed the saw to do the work. They explained that the blade was designed to cut only on the pull stroke and that gravity would provide most of the required cutting force. The effort required on the push stroke would be minimal since no cutting occurs on the up stroke. Based on their advice and the Silky guaranty I purchased the 21' Hayauchi pole saw. I received it in 2 days! I was totally amazed with the incredible performance of this very high quality saw. I easily cut large limbs at least 20' or more off the ground. The guideance received from the Silky Store representative combined with my actual experience with this superior quality tool was very impressive. I intend to purchase additional Silky saws from the Silky Store.

if you think this will be 'like cutting butter', then you will be rudely mistaken. the blade is sharp, but not as sharp as i had hoped. it took a fair amount of effort to go through oak branches.
the pole when fully extended, again cutting oak, bends a great deal. i can easily envision the pole segments bending and not being able to retract.
the levers to hold the pole at a specific length let the pole shaft in fact let the pole segment slip, it did NOT hold it. actually, my top segment, the smallest, pulled completely out of the shaft and it with the blade hung up in the tree, a ladder was needed to retreive it.
great strength is needed when at full extension to keep the saw from falling along with the branch. try holding a weight out 21 feet..and you can understand the strength needed to keep the saw from banging to earth. happened a couple of times and i was concerned when i saw the blade flex, i was concerned it had bent.
the part for undescoring a branch to keep the bark from ripping down the trunk is not very effective for larger branches, which cause more damage, and is from my experience, useless at higher branches.
the blade kept skipping along the branch and was hard to keep in the cut, more so at higher branches where it is hard to control the cutting action. the blade was not as stiff as i had expected. i can see where it could bend and kink given the right branch and angle, or the right fall when you just can no hold it out 21 feet..the saw is not light and after a few minutes it seems to be as heavy as a sumo wrestler.
would i buy it had i known, not even close.
what do i think it is worth, well, i was using an aluminum pole from my small sailboat mast,with a blade i got at home depot that i had bolted on, and it worked about as good.
so at 175 with shipping..it to me is mot a close call. so at half the price, maybe...

This telescoping pole saw allows you to safely reach and trim branches 25' in the air. Both the pole and saw are made of the highest quality materials. The pole is oval in shape which provides strength and minimizes the flexing that might be experienced with a round pole or a pole of thinner construction. The pole can quickly be adjusted to any height up to the full 21'. The saw itself is massive when compared to any other pole saw I've ever seen or used. It has an unusual double tooth pattern that minimizes the chance for the saw blade getting caught up while cutting. I was able to cut branches 3" in diameter with just a few strokes. If you need to cut branches high up in trees while remaining safely on the ground, I highly recommend this product.
Best tool I have ever owned September 17, 2006

Got my Hayauchi about 4 weeks ago, and have been using it to limb trees just about daily ever since. The 21-ft extension, coupled with the stability of the oval-shaped poles, allowed me to get far up the tree and with very little of the wobble that I've experienced with other, much shorter, pole saws at full extension. The system for securing the poles when extended is top notch, featuring spring-activated "buttons" that pop up through a hole in the shaft and clamping tabs that also secure the poles in position.
One caveat: the saw blade (great blade by the way) is secured to the pole by a sleeve with two through-bolts. These in turn are secured by wing nuts. Be sure to check the wing nuts for tightness after each day's use (and maybe midway through a heavy session. I've already lost the lower bolt/wingnut twice due to failure to check this.
Silky Pole Saw-Its Worth The Cost!! September 30, 2004

I live in Florida and have cabbage palms that have gotten taller than conventional saws can reach. I couldn't believe how light and easy the 21 foot telescoping Silky was to handle. I can now reach them all.
It even came in handy this week after Hurricaine Jeanne. We had an oak partially uprooted with the canapy hanging over my wife's beautiful and expensive plants. With the silky, I was able to reach the top and make small cuts to keep the branches from falling on the plants.
One caution, the blade is "sharp"!!! That is why it cuts so well and you must use caution because it can cut you. Use the supplied blade cover for storage and keep it away from kids.
The telescoping pole is so great and easy to use, I wish Silky would make a 1 7/8" pruning head and a thinner blade Kit just for palms. They could sell many of these to palm owners in Florida.
