Pole saws are a very important tool for proper treestand set-up. They allow the hunter to cut higher branches to make open shooting lances for better shot placement. The HME Products Pole Saw was designed to be compact for easy transport. The handle extends from 2-1/2 feet to 6 feet to cut those higher, hard to reach branches. It has a 12" carbon steel blade for cutting large branches and a built in shear for cutting smaller branches. The pole has two easy to grip foam handles for better control when cutting.
