Rope Chain Saw

Without knowing your exact needs, I would suggest looking at something like this:

Tree Pruner

or this:

1.5 HP Electric Pole Saw

I have a pole saw that I purchased at HF several years back. It extends to 12ft. I seldom use it but it has worked without fail each time that I have. They make gas powered ones but $$$ more than electric.

Those look good, thank you.

I had to laugh out loud reading the comments on the Northern Tool site you linked to. One commenter said he cut off 24" limb, Hmmm, yeah, right.

Maybe he meant 24" long.

...or maybe it took him a week...

I see TSC is selling two-cycle, 8" Poulan pole saws for $150 this Friday.

I have one and use it a fair bit. The biggest ive cut is maybe 12", but it took a while. Its tough on the hands unless you make some kind of handle. You also want to cut off to the side to undercut the branch a bit or it snaps offf a big chunk n the bottom of the cut. One word to the wise - be very careful where you stand. The easiest cutting position is right under what you're cutting so it can be dangerous. Also invest in some kind of weight or line for throwing and you'll save a lot of frustration.
