This way you can see what you're doing better than with a hook.

The handle is almost never long enough ;-)

But if they were (10-15 metres at least, ideally 20 metres), the gadget would be too heavy to use . . .

bboy, Thats what I was thinking too,also for me I got a better feel. Just taking pieces,1/4 to 3/8 in.dia.
Resin,For now I have six sections at five feet each and hope to have more next season. 20 metres seems like the sky to me with what little brooming I've done,I have a lot to look forward to! I do have a mess of brooms that are too high at this time,so it has crossed my mind that these thinner poles might not make the cut. What do you recomend?
thanks to the both of you for your replys.

Rob, I see you're very creative in making your own tools.
It seems to work pretty well which is good to start with.

There are proffesional pole pruners and saws availlable which are used by gardeners.

How high is the reach for your pole pruner?

You can use saw blade.

For the broomer with a lot of $$$. 20 meter pole with attachment options

I like the mods you made to your system Rob.

Edwin, thanks! I have 30' of pole plus what I can reach minus the angle.LOL that dang angle! the pole is made for pulling snow off the roof of my house,friday we had a 2ft.drift on the west side roof and I thought I should see if I could clear from the peak down. This was 25ft.of pole with a reverse shovel for pulling,I though it would be too heavy for the pole but it worked fine. The roof shovel only comes with 15ft. of pole,I bought a second one this year to double my reach. I have a garden type pole with hook pruner and saw at 12ft. its good around the yard. It weighs more than the 30ft. pole. I would love to see what the others look like.
Longaeva54, Can you tell me what brand the saw you show is? That was my next move, to fix a pull saw blade on the end of one of these poles.
Thanks for your replys!

It is Fiskars, you can check their site.

I have a Fiskars pole pruner. It's the best one I have owned in almost 40 years of professional landscaping and in my large garden on ten acres. I have yet to cut a broom off with it though, just a lot of limbs over the years. I go through several blades a year.
An ice storm took part of a Douglas Fir broom out a few years ago and it landed right on my driveway.

"Here is a link that might be useful: 20 meter pole"

$2000, though!

Keith,You were not kidding about the big bucks! And at 12lbs.,thats more than I care to drag around alone! I need to find someone with the same interest in brooming. Glad you liked the mods! In the photo you see aircraft cable which did not work,after two brooms it curled up and the pruner had trouble opening back up. So I went with para cord.

Longaeva54,Thanks for the link! Now I need to see if they sell just the clamp that holds the blade!

Mike,I think my 12ft. pole pruner is fiskars. Your a lucky man to have a broom over your driveway! Any broomers knock on your door?LOL!
Thanks for the replys.
