well, i bought my first pole saw off craigslist, it is a stihl ht131. this thing runs like a champ and has some serious compression and got a great deal on it. i'm looking forward to using it, the only issue with it is that the top pole has a kink in it and makes it hard to slide in and out, i am wondering if someone on here has a pole saw that is a parts saw. i think a 101 pole will fit it as well but i am not 100% sure on that. thanks guys
