Lightweight and powerful! Works better than my gas weed eater with a pole saw attachment. No fuel worries or starting issues. Just snap the battery pack in and squeeze the trigger. As with any chain saw, it does require Bar & Chain Oil.
This is my third Greenworks tool an I'm again impressed. Saw has plenty of power and the battery lasts longer than I do. Visible oil level and easy chain adjuster are great features May be a little heavy for some but it's well balanced and the robust construction is a plus for me. Looks and feels like it's built to last.
This is my second one I really liked the first one so much I purchased another one. The Greenworks Pole Saw is a really balanced pole saw and cuts extremely well. A great bargain for the price!
I have not been able to pry it from my husband's hands since I bought it!

The pole saw is a handy gem! At least my 72 year old husband thinks so... LOL. I have not been able to pry it from his hands since I bought it! Both of his shoulders have damaged rotator cuffs and still he is able to operate this saw with relative ease over his head. It is an excellent tool for hard-to-reach places. The design has a built-in hook that helps removing tangled branches. The workhorse battery uses a full charge for an average size treed back and side yard. I will submit another review once he falls asleep and I am able to spirit it away!
The head is the heavy part of saw which makes it awkward for a small person to handle. I was a little difficult to assemble but appears to be well made. Have not had a chance to use yet, waiting on help to arrive due to weight problem.

Hello anonymous
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with this polesaw. Adjusting your hand placement on the shaft of the pole saw will help keep a proper balance. Extend the pole only to the length required to reach the limb being cut. Do not extend the handle above waist height. If that does not remedy the issue contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com
