Reach new heights of cordless convenience

Even when pruning trees, we like to keep our feet firmly on the ground, and thanks to the 18 Volt Rechargeable Pole Pruning Saw from Black & Decker, Towson, Md., we can. This lightweight (under 10 pounds) wonder makes ladders and step stools obsolete as it reaches branches up to 14' overhead. Moreover, soft grips provide comfort and control while operating--up to 6" diameter cuts with an 8" bar and chain blade. (The bar and chain come pre-assembled and are designed for easy adjustment and replacement.) Also, the rust-proof fiberglass poles interlock to provide a strong, secure connection and can be put away with the saw in a convenient storage bag.

Perhaps best of all, since it is battery powered--cutting up to 100 1" pine branches per charge--there are no extension cords, tune-ups, or noxious emissions to deal with. No mess. No hassle. No brainer.

The Pole Pruning Saw ($149.99) is available at major home centers, mass merchants, and hardware stores. For further information, see www.BlackandDecker.com.
