Poulan 952802360 8 amp 1.5 HP Electric Pole Pruner with 10-Inch Bar and Chain, Boom Telescopes up to 8 Feet Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for some light trimming around the house and because the chainsaw could be used independent of the pole. Attaching the saw to the pole isn't as easy as it could be but once you figure it out it's a one-person, 5 minute job with a screwdriver. Keeping the chain tight and oiled at normal parts of chainsaw use and the instructions laid out in the manual. The manual isn't the best, but if you read it enough times and concentrate on the tiny pictures it makes sense...
I was impressed with the cutting ability of this little thing. It cut through everything I threw at it, up to 8" limbs.
There are a couple of down sides though. It's heavy and unweildly, especially with the boom extended. I ended up bracing it against my hip to stabilize it while getting it into position. The real annoyance is the design of the pole. Even when the locking mechanism is tightened, the saw portion of the pole rotates independently from the handle portion. This means that any maneuvering that's not in line with where the saw wants to go is really tricky. After a couple of cuts the handle would be at a 90 degree angle to the blade. Really annoying!
Over all I'm happy with it. I'm glad I got this multi purpose saw instead of a pole saw that can only ever be a pole saw... With this one you have some flexibility, which is nice. I just wish the handle would stay where you put it!
