We building our 24v Greenworks tool set and this is an essential for spring tree trimming. We have used this on several smaller hard-to-reach limbs and it has worked well. The battery life is good as well. It would be nice if they included a little bottle of chain oil to get you started.
The Cordless 8" Pole Saw was easy to assemble and operates as designed. I have not used it to trim trees yet, but it appears to be adequate to trim all of the trees I need to trim.
I have 4 other greenworks products in the 60v category and was upset there isn’t a 60v polesaw, but after using this product I realize one end would be much heavier given the length and I am impressed with the power with this being 24v.
You need to pay attention to the chain to make sure it is tightened satisfactorily. Each time after I have used it, the chain needs tightening. Overall, it is a good piece of equipment. Glad I made the purchase.
Returned it after using it to make 4 cuts. It started making squealing noise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
