ARS CAM Series
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Hooyman Extendable Tree Saw is a compact, folding pole saw designed for reaching high branches and clearing shooting lanes. It features a detachable folding hand saw with a MegaBite blade and a telescopic aluminum extension arm that locks securely into place. It is best suited for hunters and outdoors enthusiasts prioritizing portability and reach.
The ARS CAM-18LN is a professional-grade fixed-blade pruning saw featuring a 7-inch taper-ground high carbon steel blade with TURBOCUT tri-edge teeth for fast pull-cutting. It includes a nickel-plated finish for rust resistance but lacks the compact storage of folding saws due to its fixed design. Best suited for professional arborists and horticulturists who prioritize cutting efficiency and durability over compactness.
