I’ve had this pole saw for four months and am very pleased. It’s quiet, convenient,and powerful enough to trim 4 to 5 inch branches. Easier to handle than a gas pole saw. can clean yp downed branches without bending over. Glad I bought it.
Bought the pole saw to help around the house. I'm a 62 year old female and I found that operating the pole saw is so much easier than the gas chainsaws I previously owned. Greenworks ALWAYS starts. Gas doesn't and it will tire you out pretty quickly if it doesn't want to cooperate. Turned around and purchased the string trimmer. It will be nice to eliminate all my gas tools, which I intend to do. I chose the 40 volt due to the tools available. It does the job on my 1/2 acre.
I bought this a few weeks ago and immediate put it to use trimming up limbs that were hanging over 3 different buildings here at the church. I was impresse by how much work I was able to do on one charge. I cut not only small limbs, but limbs that were 4" or slightly larger. I also used it to cut them into smaller pieces once they were on the ground. The battery powered motor makes it easy to use. By the time the battery runs down, I found it took more time to pick up all those limbs than to recharge the battery. Great product.
I picked this up this morning. Battery charged in 45 mins. I have limbs that have bothered me for years. I don't like the idea of a ladder and running chainsaw. Zip, zip done. Amazing tool........
I have a variety of trees and found myself on a ladder with a heavy chainsaw, not a particularly good idea. This pole saw fits my needs just right. It feels solid, easy to put together, just charge the battery, add some bar oil and go. I suppose if you are doing commercial work you may want a more expensive pole saw with heavier duty battery, yet for most of us, this fits just fine.
My first use was to take to one of our rental houses to do some trimming. Great for that because I don't have to bother renters with plugging in, or making a lot of noise. Quiet, only runs when you need it to. Lightweight and well made, it seems. Great complement to my Greenworks chainsaw and hedge trimmer.
I love this tool so much better than the gas powered one I used to use near the house and in the orchard. It's light weight and easy to handle. Best of all, you just push the switch and it runs, and let go of the switch and it stops -- no starting cord to pull. But I would appreciate a few improvements: • offer it with a 4ah battery • improve the chain adjustment mechanism as on other Greenworks chainsaws • sell spare extension poles in order to extend the reach to 11 feet.
