[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in October and been using ever since without any issues. This thing really ripped through branches and limbs at a very fast rate. has great reach with the extender added or a very easy to use without it. Well, balanced and lightweight would highly recommend.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
Greenworks does not have spare parts, so you will be stranded with a useless product. I cannot get a tensioner from them so I can no longer use the pole saw because they do not stand behind they product.

40V 8" Cordless Battery Pole Saw w/ 2.0 Ah Battery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was our second Greenworks purchase and we chose the 40 volt pole saw since we already had the 40 trimmer and had sharing batteries in mind. This has been great for trimming higher up branches as to not have to drag out the ladder and safer than reaching overhead with a chainsaw. Bought a chain sharpener to extend the life of the chain.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time when Greenworks came out with 80v leaf blower, I bought it and a year later it broke, then bought another on. Used it regularly and it broke again within a year and a half. 4 year later, I want to try Greenworks again so I bought 40v pole saw and hedger combo. The tools are working amazing. It cuts tree branches like butter. Hopefully, the longevity of this products will be better than the past.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this saw to prune the trees at our new house and this things cut through oak and maple like butter. Very happy with my purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cumbersome to handle. Whe. Using full length, hard to handle and use. Makes you go off balance. Needs to be of lighter construction, so everyone can handle.

Hello Crb2.
We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this unit due to the weight. This unit weighs 7.96 lbs. (3.6 kg)l. As each users’ capabilities differ, the strap helps even out the weight. Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand on the rear handle, so your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or any stance that places your body or arm across the chain line. We hope with these tips they will assist in a more enjoyable user experience. Should they not yield results contact Greenworks by Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or by phone on 1-888-909-6757.
