I bought this a month ago and am very happy with it. Like all the 80V tools it does a great job and has more than enough power. Very well balanced and super easy to use.
I was thinking of buying a gas operated chain saw but after further consideration bought this saw for a number of reasons. 1 it was battery powered, 2 it was quite, 3 it had an extension that allowed me to reach out if reach branches, and 4 it was provided me the most powerful saw all wrapped into these attributes. It so easy and safe to use. A great purchase that paid for itself because hiring a contractor would have cost the equivalent of the saw.
The product description includes the following: "8' extension pole for a maximum reach of 11 feet." However, the "extension" pole IS NOT an extension pole, it is a fixed length pole. The "maximum reach of 11 feet" implies there is a shorter (minimum) reach -- there is not! There is no way to remove any section of this pole (the wiring runs through all 3 pieces). Really misleading!!! This is an 11 foot pole. Period.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello LLAN,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We are sorry to hear that you felt the description misleading. The extension poles only have a fixed length and are not adjustable. While the handle on this model cannot be shortened, we would like to refer you to our 40V model, 20672, or our 60V model, 1405602 as they have a removable middle extension. See links below.
Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please feel speak to Greenworks Customer Care directly 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). They're always happy to provide help.
Pole saw works great to clean up dead branches on the edge our my property. I purchased it because I needed to create a fire break and trim up to 10' vertically. This Pole Saw fits the job perfectly.
I'm 5' 8" and weigh about 175lbs. This is balanced well and I've even taken it on a ladder. I can't hold it steady enough for undercuts, but the overcut works flawlessly. I highly recommend this for any customer who has wooded areas and wants to cut branches from a distance.
I purchased the 80V Pole saw and battery and it was easily able to handle the 4-5 inch branches I threw at it. You do have to remember to check the chain tension often, but that is something you must do with most of the competitors as well. Great tool. Would definitely buy again if I needed to!
