HOOYMAN

[Stumpknocker]

Does anybody have one, pro, cons.. I want one bad

[FEETDOWN]

I've been tempted, I've heard they are as good as advertised.....

My brother in law has one. I have used it a good bit. It is nice and compact. Blade is kinda short makes it tough when you are cutting higher branches but all in all a good product.

Haven't used the Hooyman but a guy at the club has the Fiskars version and it seems to work pretty well.

Same here.

I bought a Fiskers brand one from Sears on sale last Christmas- it is awesome, quick, sharp, cheap, light. Not as compact as the Hooyman, but not as expensive either.

Same here.

You mean you can't reach?

that is what makes the hooyman so nice ,, its compact. Looks like you can just chunk it in your backpack. I found them online for $79.00. Might just go ahead and pick one up.

Is the one I have, it's 3' but expands to 8'. I just strap it to the outside of my pack

I have one and its a great saw. Easy to pack for OOS trips.

I can reach your throat...

[Tater]

And I can out run you.

I have 2. One messed up and (the pieces kept coming apart instead extending to a certain point) I emailed them and they said send it back. Got a new one less than a week later. It is definitely a handy little tool that we use extensively when setting up new stands or moving stands. And it's easier to carry around than a pole saw. And if u want u can throw it in ur pack but I leave it in the toolbox usually.

It is worth the money. The retractable arm is strudy but the blade is kind of flimsy for the cost, imo. There is another company now making an all aluminum version if weight is issue. That one limb just out of reach will no longer be a problem.

Someone used to make one that was threaded like a paint roller handle....THAT'S what I want.

I had one of those and lost it hunting in Nebraska. Replaced it with a Hooyman. The Hooyman is a better saw hands down IMO. Plus you get the added bonus of about 4ft on the reach.

And when i add my threaded ext pole i get the added bonus of 12'.
