Do you know which pole saw is the longest? Usually, the average length for an electric one ranges around 7-15 feet. In general, the manual pole saws are much taller and can reach a whopping 26 feet in length.
Who makes the longest pole saw?
The longest pole saw currently on the market is the Silky HAYAUCHI 179-39 with a 26-foot reach. It is made from aluminium, making it easy to handle with a nice firm rubber grip. However, the taller the pole saws are, the more difficult it is to handle. It is certainly convenient to be able to reach the high limbs. But if you can’t actually saw, it’s not going to mean much.
The Longest Pole Saws: Manual vs Electric
The biggest difference between the manual and electric pole saws, apart from driving your neighbours crazy at 6 in the morning, is reach.
The Longest Electric Pole Saw—Remington Long-Reach Electric Pole Saw
The electric pole saws range between 7-15 feet, they’re not as long, but their biggest pro is they make pole sawing easy. Most gardeners will opt for ease and leave the length.
With a removable quick-release chainsaw head that can double as a stand-alone mini chainsaw, this Remington pole saw has a 15-foot reach. This is one of the longest of electric pole saw. The pole has a stabilizer built in, along with a slip-resistant handle to reduce fatigue, and its powerful 8 amp motor can make short work of thick branches. Since it’s so long, it does understandably get a little heavy when fully extended.
The Longest Manual Pole Saw
Manual pole saws are very long and as such, they’re often a go-to for first-time buyers. They’re not as expensive as your gas-powered machines and not as heavy. Ranging between a full length of 7-26 feet, it can reach some serious branches in your garden.
Can’t compare with the Silky Hayauchi one, the Hi-Reach 19 Ft Pole Saws can also be considered the longest manual one.

How can I make my pole saws longer?
The safest way to lengthen your pole saws are rather buying one that can already be adjusted. Adjustable pole saws are quite common and come in a variety of sizes and types. They are mostly manual, but their reach can be quite impressive, like the Milliard 6-16 ft Extendable Pole Saw.
To extend the length for an electrical, you can use PVC piping. Split the handle and saw and then extend the wires up the length of the pipe. After securing the saw and handle at both ends, you can then use it the same way one would use the pole saws. These types of DIY can be dangerous, especially with chainsaws, so rather use manual pole saws if you really want to get more reach.
However, the best way to reach a tall branch is rather to use a pocket chainsaw, which you can check out here.
