Great saw for cutting those troublesome branches that are too big for a hedge trimmer! Only reason for 4 stars is it can be a little difficult to manage when fully extended.
I bought this a year ago, battery does not hold charge well what so ever. Charger that came with unit stop charging at the end of 1 year. Got replacement and it stopped working at 6 months, next charger lasted 3 months. Saw itself worked fine, battery and charger are worthless
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Viejo67,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this product. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out. 1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged. 2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated. 3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction. Please note that our GreenWorks batteries and chargers are covered by a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase. If you have tried these suggestions and are still experiencing an issue, please kindly contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com for further assistance.
had some limbs fall during a storm my gas chainsaw wouldn't start but grab the pole saw slapped in a battery and man it made easy work of it all very happy
I bought this after using a friends, I like the improvements that were made in the handle and controls but why did you do away with the hook on the saw end? The hook came in handy if the branch got hung up in the tree and also worked well to hang the saw in the shop.
I just received my new pole saw and not have had a chance to use it. A instructional manual was not included in the item I received. I have requested the manual to be sent to me. I do have a 60V Cordless String Trimmer and it works beautifully. That is why I purchased the Pole Saw. I am sure that I will give a 4 or 5 star rating once I am able to use the Pole Saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy with our 40V cordless pole saw. We have a variety of other Greenworks tools. We only purchased the tool since we already had a couple of batteries that interchange with this one and other Greenworks tools we have. That is a biggie for us. So easy to use these tools with the ability to interchange the batteries to keep them all charged up. The pole saw itself was super simple to use and very effective at cutting branches high overhead. A very happy customer.
This was another one of my Mother's Day gifts (Yes, I LOVE yard work!) that we decided to purchase along with the blower and weed trimmer because the price was right! We have a large tree row that separates our yard from the neighbors, and the pole saw is the perfect size for keeping it trimmed. Having two batteries to alternate between the three pieces of equipment is a time-saver, and the batteries are fast to charge! Did I mention how much more quiet they are than gas or electric?? Happy pets!
