Hook!
You’ve used a pole saw to trim a branch, but it’s still stuck in the tree — now what? Using a tool like Wolf Garten’s Tree Hook you can grab the branch from the ground rather than climbing into the tree to get it down. You can also use it to shake fruit tree branches or hang Christmas lights in trees.
The S-shaped hook works with any Wolf Interlocken handles, the cheapest of which run $12. The Tree Hook itself runs $16.

Wow. It’s a hook. A hook that attaches to a stick. 🙂
I could have used this when my kite was stuck in a tree at the park. I had to toss my shoe up there about 2 dozen times to get it down.
So what’s the ting on the orange cord?
The ting goes around the release button on the pole.
After the Christmas season I bought one of these:

for about 1/2 price – to attach to a fiberglass painter’sextension pole.
I probably could have fashionned my own – but for the $3 or so that I paid for this – it probably was not worth the effort.
