pole saw

Extended branch cutter

A pole saw is a pruning saw mounted on a long handle, used to cut tree branches that would otherwise be out of reach.

Manual versions have a curved blade; powered versions use a small chainsaw mechanism.

I used the pole saw to trim the dead limbs without climbing a ladder.
