[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted something light weight for my yard trimming chores and this fits the bill. Also, it's a hard little worker and can cut through wood that I didn't know if it could. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product for a female avid gardener.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely not another overkill Purchase. Very happy with the ease of use and versitility. This is perfect for branches and have cut trunks approximately 6-7 inches. This is must have around the yard and good place to start for the urban yard This Tool is a must have and will make you the coolest garage dad in the neighborhood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, pretty unimpressed. Not very useful for much larger than 2-3" limbs. I have the 24V 12 inch chainsaw too, which has much more power, so I don't really understand why this is so lacking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Neb R. Thanks for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear the 24V 8" Pole Saw did not have the power you were expecting. It is designed mainly for lighter trimming jobs usually up to about 3" limbs so we can see why it might feel limited compared to your 24V 12" chainsaw.
The higher the voltage of a product, the more power you will get and the heavier the job you can tackle. With higher voltage comes a higher price point, but depending on your workload, it may be necessary. Using the right tool not only makes the job easier but also safer. We have a variety of options for a range of household lawn care needs and hope this information is helpful. If you would like more details on which units may be best suited for your needs, please contact us through Live Chat on our site or by phone at 1-888-909-6757. We are here to help!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Leaks bar oil everywhere. Underpowered, stalls and bounces off shredding the limb. Would not buy again
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is so much easier to cut smaller branches than other hand tools. As I am getting older my hands don't have the strength to use the manual tools that I was used to using. Thanks to the Pruner Saw I can keep my yard looking good with out too much help.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Effective
