I have had both Corona and Fiskars and finally broke down in frustration with mediocre tools and bought a good extension pruner:

You need the tree loper head and the handles which extends to 160" or so.
The Wolf-Garten has teflon-coated blades, quality pulleys and very strong cords, a high pulley ratio for great leverage when working over your head and deals with branches 2+ inches in diameter. If you have larger branches to deal with, you need either a manual saw or an electric or gas mini-chainsaw mounted on a pole. However, the Tree Lopper has worked flawlessly for me for over three years of heavy fruit and ornamental tree pruning.
