1.0 out of 5 stars Tuly problematic, November 15, 2005

Comments from other reviewers re the locking mechanism are unfortunately on target. The slipping defeats efforts to apply the necessary force to a saw cut -- and even trying to tighten down with big pliers (why should we have to??) will not solve the problem. Sadly, the bad news does not end there. The lopper mechanism employs a bicycle-style chain at the businss end, which would at first glance seem to be a fine idea (robust strength, and no rope chafe to be concerned about). BUT, inexcusably poor engineering of the guides through which the chain runs means that the chain itself can all too easily twist, bind, kink, and jam under load. So the pruning session comes to a complete halt, and we have to make a trip back to the barn for dismantling and clearing of the mechanism, on the workbench. This is designer error, not operator error. After having the same thing happen three and four times a day in regular use, we replaced the chain with spectra line, and thus solved the problem. Buyer beware, and what a shame that there are few other choices in the current marketplace. This could and should be a much better product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad locking mechanism, March 2, 2003

The telescoping plastic locking mechanism is of the compression type and does not lock adequately during aggressive sawing strokes. The pole extends instead of completing the down sawing stroke. On the plus side the 13" blade cuts with ease and stays sharp. I've had the same blade after 4 years of use with only the spring finally giving out. Replacement parts are available locally and at on line retailers. With a better locking mechanism I would rate 5 stars.

I have owned another Corona pole pruner for many years and purchased this one for the extra few feet - anything to help me reach a slightly higher branch without climbing a ladder is a safety feature. This model has allowed me to reach all that I can reasonably ask for, as I have used longer, commercial pole pruners (up to 21 feet) and they get too unwieldy to conveniently use.

What I really like about this model is that the base of saw blade is attached with a through-bolt; on some of the other Corona models it is attached with a screw threaded into a tapped hole in the alloy pruner head. This stripped out on me after many years of use, and though I was able to re-tap it with a larger screw, the through-bolt design is more durable.

I also really like the double pulley design which gives more mechanical advantage than on my older model, and the quality of the head and saw in general. I have experienced some of the slippage problem with the telescoping poles, but not at full extension.

I have also experienced some jamming of the bicycle chain if the rope gets on the wrong side of the pulley. This is easy to do when threading the saw head through branches to reach a specific spot. I would be just as happy to have all rope, and may replace this if it becomes annoying.

Oh yeah, it's really long, even when 'collapsed'; 8 feet 9 inches with saw blade attached, so make sure that you have a spot tall enough or long enough to store it.
