What is the length of the extension itself, NOT including any person?

It is in the manual, but I think about 3-4 feet is all you can hold up with the weight of the cutter on the end of the extension.

Because of the way the extension overlaps the main handle, the practical answer is that the extension adds 43-1/4" to the reach of the saw itself. You need to understand how to use the saw with this extension attached, do NOT attempt to lift the saw by holding the extension handle, you are at a significant DISADVANTAGE, to pick up the Jawsaw, take the fixed grab bar handle just up from the saw bar, lift the saw to a vertical position in front of your face, chain pointing to the sky, then raise the saw up - lifting it hand over hand into the air and position the jaw over the branch you wish to cut.

I received a 50" extension. I haven't used it yet but it feels light weight so would be easy to take along!

Not able to give exact length cuz mine is already installed, but I'll guarantee it's over 8 ft. I'd like to day it's between 10-12ft in length

Second answer-I got mine in October, as it is out of the box mine is 33.75 out of the box, mine did come with a butt extension which I did not install on mine. If it was installed the overall length would be 35in..

I can't answer this without driving to the installation location but I believe it is an extra rails length of extension.

No, I just measured; looks like 38 or 39 inches would be the maximum extension.

WOW! It has been a short while since I installed this. It is flexible and I believe it extends 4-6 feet. There is a suggested limit on it and you don't want to go too far for the best operation. Remember to follow manufacture instruction for best results!

Stretched out is 5ft. and retracted it is 4 1/4 inches. Sorry for the delay in the reply! Works Great!

The total extension is about 6 inches. With the extension on the mount, the cameras shakes too much. I use it without the extension for better recording.

Roughly an inch and a half, I'd say. I didn't officially measure it, mind, but that's the approximate length.

I measure it with a regular 12" ruler and it is about 5 feet 8 inches long plus about a 2 or 3 inch enlarged extension end.

While I do not have access to the unit at present, it is approximately 3" end to end and about 2" between the ball ends. They have one shorter extension and one longer (about 6")

It's very short ... maybe 3" at best (don't have them in front of me). Almost too short for a 5'8" adult to use. Perfect for someone 4' or so.

The length is about 3 or 4 inches i think. All family members have lost theirs including me.

I would say approx. 12 inches fully extended. But adjustable for shorter legnths.

I never tried to extend it much beyond the 4 feet. But please for your own sake, do not buy this waste of money! It... Does... Not....work!

Not sure exactly but around 3 feet. The length has never been a problem for me.
