Seems like a good saw so far. Only problems I've noticed are that the chain tightening screw is kind of annoying, and the newer model has a better hand screw for taking the side plate on and off. Also the descriptions could be better because it is not forwards compatible with newer saw connections.
The 40V Cordless Pole Saw and trimmer paid for itself in the first 30 minutes of use. Cut down and cut up a 30 foot crepe myrtle in about 10 minutes, and used the trimmer to cut three lilac bushes and a hedge that had gotten out of control over the last 3 years. That job was done in about 15 minutes. A solid piece of equipment that is very simple to use. It has a little weight to it, and when you use the third extension it is a good idea to use the support strap that accompanies the trimmer.
I used this to fritters on my property. It allowed me to stay on the ground and reach branches 10- 13 ft. Above with easy. The battery runs quietly and did not big down cutting 2 to 3 in limbs. The process went fast too!
This thing is awesome for small jobs around the property and is pretty light for its size. I love that it’s so easy to maintain and don’t have to worry about a gas engine.
We bought this saw to do some light-medium tree trimming at both our home and business properties. This saw is lightweight and very easy to use. The battery held plenty of charge to do everything we needed and more. We much prefer it to the more expensive (and heavy!) gas motor styles. Very happy with this purchase!!
