Great until it isn't

I bought this about 3 years ago and have used it probably 6 times, never super heavy use as I only have 1 battery anyways. After sitting idle for around a year, when I went to use it, it just did not work. No response at all. I fiddled with it for a while and it randomly started to work. 6 days later nothing again no matter how much fiddling. It really doesn't seem like it is built to last. Seems like it should be extremely simple electronics, but something has given up. Fairly disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Tyrion. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long term gas chain saw user, I was unsure about what to expect with this battery operated model. It had enough power to easily cut branches of 6" diameter.
I got this pole saw about a month ago to clean up some low-hanging branches on some trees in the backyard. It definitely exceeded expectations! It cut through maybe 2-3" branches like a hot knife through butter! I thought it may not last very long, but I cut down branches for probably a half hour straight or so, and the charge was still full. My only complaint is I got a little too excited because I was having fun, then I had a crap-ton of branches to clean up haha!
Purchased this for use in our pasture to trim on the fence line. The reach is insane and made quick work out of what would’ve been a back breaking all day project. Great tool!
I bought this product about two weeks ago to perform general maintenance around the house, but put it to the test last week. Went down to help friends and family in Louisiana after Hurricane IDA to help with clean up. It is light weight, like that you can take sections apart for transport, and although I didn’t time battery or count number of counts I felt it held up. Even my older mother was able to use with ease.
