The retaining clips on the pole extender are firm and appear to be well made. They sit pretty flat against the unit so there isn't a huge chance that you will release them in transport or use.
There is a metal piece that wedges it's self against the metal inside to create a lot of grab that keeps everything nice and snug.
That metal piece also fits into a key whole to keep it extra snug.

The extender handle and base of the saw slide into a dovetail grove to lock up in a pretty secure way.
I noted a little play at the point of lock up. However, after a bit of inspection... I feel that slight play will actually keep the saw from binding and let you work the saw better.
Note the release on the hilt of the saw. It is firm and required two actions in order to sepperate the two units.

I mainly bought this saw so I could have the ability to fine tune my tree stand and keep it in my hunting pack.
The saw fits perfect in my bag and is easy to get to.
All in all its a great tool that is easy to use, pack, carry, and has multiple uses.
Not only can it be use to cut limbs in a tree stand! But also to procure fire wood, clean up a camp site, build a ground blind, and even aid in processing game. I find this tool to have great value.
