“The lopper was effective in cutting branches off my Eucalyptus tree, including when extended. However, I couldn't fully stop the inner pole from sliding or rotating within the outer pole; this problem was not insurmountable, except when I used the saw attachment for which I had to remove the outer pole and therefore use on the inner pole only I.e. without the extension. Also, the kit didn't have any instructions and I don't know what the two red collars, one attached to the cord and one loose in the box are used for - as attached photos.”
