Talon is super loud and does not last compared to the power pole.

10' Blade is pure tits!!
I have had a few problems but nothing major and customer service with PP is excellent, you can bet they are gonna back their product and make it right!
I broke a knuckle on the end and it was overnighted to me and I busted a hydraulic line and they sent me new hoses and fittings in a timely fashion
I would def go PowerPole I couldn't live without mine lol

Talon is so damned noisy I don't see how you can stand it. Better than not having something but the power pole is way better in my humble opinion.

I spent a month researching both, reading forums, looking at complaints, etc and felt the power pole was the best choice. I bought it 9 months ago and I am super happy with it.

PP customer service is the best I've ever dealt with. Hands Down.

I had issues with my PP, sent me everything free of charge, just returned the broken parts. PP hands down.

Power Pole is the way to go .I installed mine in about an hour by myself .The new Pro series II is super easy to install. Just make sure you get the attachments for it so it will work better.

Go with power pole. They are a proven design. There is a lot of people that are returning their talons or throwing them away just to get a power pole
