Greenworks 20612 20-Volt Lithium Ion 8-Inch Cordless Electric Tree Pruner Pole Saw with 8-Foot Reach (No Battery or Charger) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'll start by saying I've only used this pole saw a few times but it works great! The battery easily pops off to move between it and the trimmer/edger I purchased from the same company. The oil compartment doesn't hold much so poor slowly! Also, there isn't a perpendicular handle to hold the shaft but a foam grip which isn't as comfortable, but is very doable.
I tried to attach the trimmer main shaft to the saw shaft because it has a perpendicular handle but they are not compatible. Still I cut a huge limb/trunk off one of my trees pretty quickly. It only threw the chain once when I tried to cut too big of a limb at its thickest point near the main trunk. Just cut several shallow cuts around huge limbs and it will cut them. The chain was easy to put back on the sprocket, just be ready to soak the oil up that coats around the chain when you remove the cover. the manual has pictures and labels all of the parts.
With all of the poles it's pretty tall. Reaching almost above me (5'10") I was able to cut limbs almost two stories up. It's much better than my older Ryobi.
