Threw away $200 on a bad pole pruner attachment last fall

Bought a cheap off brand head for my extension pole and it snapped on the third limb. The locking collar just gave out while I was reaching up into a birch tree in my neighbor's yard. Anyone else have luck with the name brand replacement parts holding up better?

Man my buddy Dave had the exact same thing happen with a no-name brand head. He was trimming a maple in his front yard and the whole thing snapped right at the locking collar, dropped the pruner head on his truck hood. Left a nice dent too. He finally went and bought a Fiskars replacement head and it's been fine for two years now. Sometimes you just gotta pay the extra for the ones that actually work.

Rip Dave's truck hood lol. Cheap tools always make you pay twice, once at the store and again when they wreck your stuff. Fiskars is the way to go for sure.

Nice how this keeps happening with so many things now. Its like buying anything quality once beats buying cheap stuff three times over. Always ends up costing more time and frustration in the long run.
