Greenworks 20062 10-Inch 7 amp Electric 2-in-1 Tree Pruner/Chain Saw with 8-Foot Pole Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this to trim tree branches, hardwoods, Mesquite, Acacia etc.. The saw goes through these woods like its cutting butter.
This saw worked right out of the box, I only had to add chain oil(bought locally, not included).
Adding and removing the pole is a snap.
I wish the included scabbard was a brighter color, not black, and had a way to attach it to the saw.
So far I think its a good saw for the money.Greenworks 20062 10-Inch 7 amp Electric 2-in-1 Tree Pruner/Chain Saw with 8-Foot Pole Extension

I have to put the original review on hold. Today the saw quit running. I was using it off the pole. I checked and cleaned up everything still no go. After checking everything and blowing it out with air I tried again, all I got was a spark from the housing.
Edited 1/19/11
We contacted the company about the saw, We were told they would call back and give us a service center in our area. They did not call. I sent the saw back to Amazon. The reduction in stars is because of CS.

Remington RM0612P 6-Inch 6 amp Branch Wizard Electric Pruning Pole Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having tried products with some slick advertising and literally burnt my fingers/split my skin etc., I was pleasantly surprised to see this one works. It went through the first thick branch a bit faster than I expected and I had to jump out of the way!
Only complaint - they could give a clearer picture of the chain mounting - the picture on the package is much better than the instructions.
Remember to tape your electric cord to the pole, else you will keep pulling it off the plug on the saw.

Tame that tree with Remington's Branch Wizard electric pole pruner. At a mere 6-1/2 pounds, it weighs up to 50 percent less than manual pole pruners. Powered by a hearty 6 Amp motor, the saw can cut branches up to 6 inches thick, while its nearly 7-foot-long fiberglass pole offers plenty of reach. Operation is quick and easy, as is trimming in tight spaces. Other features include a low-kickback chain, a 6-inch guide bar, a non-slip grip, a trigger lock to prevent accidental starting, and instant start with no pull cords. It's also quieter than gas-powered models. The tool comes with a 1-year warranty.

Remington RM1015P 10-Inch 8 Amp Electric Pole Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used a gas pole saw by Husqvarna in the past so I am familiar with these saws. Overall this product is decent. It doesn't cut as sweet as the Husqvarna but it gets the job done. The older reviews in this sequence are for an outdated model that they no longer sell. They fixed most of the problems that people reported below. The latest saw has a hex shaped pole so you can identify it as the latest version. I would recommend this saw for light duty sawing only.
Don't think that because this saw is electric with lots of plastic that it is light and easy to maneuver. Extended fully out it takes some strength to use. The Husqvarna is only 6 feet long and lighter, but 3 feet shorter than the longer reach of the Remington. The Husqvarna also sells for 5 times more than the cost of the Remington which makes the Remington a bargain.
What makes this saw clumsy to use is the motor location. For example, the Husqvarna has the motor located below your hands. The saw is driven by a gear internal to the pole. That feature is also its limitation, in that the length is not adjustable. With most of the weight positioned below your hands the saw is easy to manipulate. But for the Remington, the motor is at the end of the pole. That puts the balance point at the wrong end which makes it harder to maneuver when fully extended. Set to 6 feet it's not bad. Some of the battery operated pole saws put the weight at the bottom where it should be and could also be a consideration.
My only real complaint about this saw is the oiler which didn't work well. Since I'm experienced with chain saws I could see that the amount of oil feed on the chain after repeated pumping was still inadequate. I investigated this later and opened the hole a bit in the plastic oil reservoir which helped. To do this you have to take the chain off. Be careful to put the chain back on the correct way when you're finished. They are not universal with respect to direction. Always use bar chain oil and not motor oil. I had no problems with my oil cap or leakage.
Most do-it-yourselfer's don't pay enough attention to safety with these tools and the instructions included don't emphasize that enough. You should treat this tool like a gas-operated tool. I strongly suggest buying at minimum the helmet that is made by Husqvarna with the built in face shield and ear cups. Trust me even with experience my helmet has saved my head while using a pole saw. A lot of the time you stand under the branch you are cutting, and the inevitable can happen. Second and optionally, I would recommend the Husqvarna leather gloves. It helps griping the tool and protects your hands from dings and from bugs and spiders when later moving the cut pieces.
With a gas model and for serious cutting I would also recommend the chaps and safety shoes. The Remington also does not have anti-kickback protection built in like most gas model chain saws do, and it also does not have a built in chain brake when you release the trigger like most gas models do. That's why I wouldn't recommend using just the chain saw part of this for serious cutting. I say this because many will use this saw without the pole as a regular chain saw. For serious cutting, this saw doesn't even compete with a gas model chain saw for cutting through thick tree limbs, and a gas model will have all the safety features built in. Use it for what it was intended for and you should be ok.
