Description
The Silky Forester pole saw combines the best features of the Hayauchi and Zubat pole saws into one fantastic extending pruning saw.
2 extension sections provide great adjustability, fitted with a 380mm blade featuring 7.55 Mirai-me teeth per 30mm producing a very smooth cut. The Forester blade fitted is stronger than the Zubat, so ideally suited to the tough working conditions of arborists and tradesmen.
Due to it’s 2 piece extension the saw closes down to a compact size, making it storage and transport friendly.
Like the Zubat Pole Saw, it is a lightweight, state of the art, telescopic pole saw with an oval shaped aluminium alloy pole which offers both strength and precise control. However, it offers a longer and stronger blade than the Zubat Pole Saw and with two extension poles, it can prune at greater heights. Overall it is lighter than the Hayauchi Pole Saw but offers a similar blade length.
This is a very versatile product which can be used in a wide range of circumstances including trimming, pruning, gardening, forestry and arboriculture.
The telescopic design has two locking systems – a spring loaded locking button and friction clamps which work in tandem to ensure a strong and stable pole extension.
These lightweight pole saws can be used from the ground or climbed with to gain greater pruning range without the use of heavier, more cumbersome equipment. The bright red design makes them clearly visible while the extension poles are shorter than some other models making this compact telescopic pole saw easier to transport and store.
A red rigid-plastic blade guard is included, which locks onto the blade for extra protection. The base poles have pole-end shock absorbers and a comfortable rubberised over-grip which ensures good hold and control.
Forester pole saw blades cannot be re-sharpened due to the use of electro-impulse hardening in the manufacturing process.

This is beautifully crafted of the highest quality. Easy and safe to use. Cuts through branches like a hot knife through butter.

I already owned a Silky Zubat hand saw which is second to none having served me well for about 3 years
I therefore had no hesitation in ordering the forester as I had every faith that it would be good.
I was right and was not disappointed in the slightest. These are excellent tools for the professional and occasional user too and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. A bit unwieldy at first getting used to the full length of it. But once the teeth started biting the rest was easy.
The “Rolls Royce” of tools in my opinion well made and if looked after will serve well for many years. Good quality is worth paying for.

Had used one before and it made high reaching jobs so easy and safe being able to keep two feet on the ground. Was impressed by the quality of the make so decided I had to get one of my own.
