Fred Marvin (know as just "Marvin" today) has been making pole pruners and saws since 1943. Marvin products are known for their quality, precision and durability. Marvin hollow core fiberglass poles are commonly used in the tree care and landscaping industry for general pruning. Marvin fiberglass poles come with a ferrule system that allows them to be connected, so they can easily be extended to longer lengths. Top pole section comes with a male ferrule one one end and is bare on the other (for mounting a pruner or saw head).
