The Garrett Wade Garden Team
The Design
15-inch curved blade forged in Japan. Cuts on the pull stroke for clean, controlled action. Handles branches up to 4 inches in diameter. Replacement blades available.
Three interlocking 6-foot sections made in the United States. Lightweight, strong, non-conductive. Use one, two, or all three depending on the height of the job.
The frame doubles as a hook. Cut the branch, then use the frame to pull it down safely. No need for a second tool or a second person standing below.
7 feet with one pole. 13 feet with two. 19 feet with all three. Interlock only what the job requires. Disassemble in seconds for storage or transport.
The Blade
The difference between a pruning cut that heals and one that invites fungal infection is the cleanness of the cut itself. A ragged tear from a dull saw or a snapped branch leaves an open wound the tree cannot callus over before insects find it. A clean cut, the tree handles in weeks.
The 15-inch curved Japanese blade cuts on the pull stroke, giving you control even at full 19-foot extension. Clean, even cuts through branches up to four inches. Forged in Japan to the same standard the country’s own arborists rely on. Replacement blades are available; you should not need one for years.

"Very well built, excellent blade, razor sharp and does all the work."
"The perfect tool for my needs. I was worried that the long reach would make it difficult to manuver the saw. But, it dut througn maple, crabapple and sycamore like butter. Could not be happier with the performance."
"Great product! Have used it a lot since receiving."
"Received my pole saw . Very pleased with this product and was exactly what I needed. The saw works great! Thanks for making a quality product. Very impressed."
"This saw is better than any one I’ve used from the big box stores! I love how it’s segments that are pinned together instead of being retractable it’s easier to change height. The blade is super sharp (be careful handling it) and cuts really fast! The reach height js really good and honestly it’s an all around great tool to have when you have a ton of trees to tend to"
"Fantastic piece of equipment. So much so that I bought a second for my parents. Eat to use even when fully extended. Finally replaced the blade on my original after ten years of sometimes heavy use."
"Great saw ! We have a tree farm and trim the tall oaks with it. The saw is very sharp ."
"I like the saw very well. Works great at 12 feet but is heavier than expected at 19 feet. I am sure it would be fine for a younger person but at the age of 83 I am not as strong as I used to be. It cuts much better than those at the big box stores."
"Haven’t used it yet, saw blade screws were missing and I just received yesterday . Product looks well made. Looking forward to using it."
"The saw worked great for removing high limbs that I could not reach with a ladder. Being 71years old it was remarkably light weight and easy to use."
