The Cordless 8" Pole Saw was easy to assemble and operates as designed. I have not used it to trim trees yet, but it appears to be adequate to trim all of the trees I need to trim.
I own a 10-acre parcel of woodland where I focus on growing high quality timber walnut and cherry. The most important tool I need is a reliable pole saw to neatly groom the trees into strong, straight, furniture quality timber. This saw allows me to get my work done in much shorter time than the dirty gas-powered saw I had been using because I don't have to constantly work on it. It works correctly every time, doesn't need constant chain adjustments, the battery lasts for more cuts than a tank of gas, and it needs very little maintenance other than charging the battery and keeping the chain sharp. I wish I had this tool twenty years ago.
The length gives it some weight but the saw works well on most trees. I had issues cutting some pine limbs but maybe you'll have better results. Definitely worth a look if your browsing for a pole saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello RJ0088,
Thank you for your review. A pole saw will be different than a chainsaw because of how you are holding a pole; a properly balanced footing is the best way to operate the pole chain saw when you extend it over your head. Bend your knees a little bit and grasp the pole chain saw with both hands. Wear a good pair of (leather) work gloves that will not only protect your hands but also give you a good grip.

Easy to use tool for trimming. Remember not to stand under the limb you are cutting - just say’n for a friend -grin! (Or, wear a helmet and some shoulder pads)
We bought this pole saw because we already had a weedeater and lawn mower from this company, and we couldn't be happier with the product. It works great and is so easy to use. We use the pole saw on a regular basis, and we haven't had a single issue with it. The company is great to work with as well, when our mower quit working, they stood behind the warranty and sent us out another to replace. Next product we are looking into, is a snowblower. Definitely going to keep buying these products.
