What Customers Are Saying

The product is a powerful and versatile tool for light to medium-duty tree trimming and branch cutting, able to handle branches up to 3-4 inches thick. Customers praised its lightweight and maneuverable design, as well as the convenience of the cordless battery-powered operation. However, some noted limitations with the battery life, only allowing for 20-25 cuts before needing a recharge. There were also a few reports of durability issues, such as the chain breaking or the tensioner nut splitting after extended heavy use. With proper care and maintenance, the product appears to be a reliable and effective tool for basic yard work and tree maintenance.

Good Saw For Pruning

Would Recommend

Does the job without a chainsaw to wield up a ladder. The battery did not last as long as I had hoped and takes way too long to recharge. Just needs to come with two batteries and a quick charger.

LOVE MY NEW SAW

Would Recommend

I am a 52 year old female - 5'3". If I can use this saw anyone can - I LOVE IT. I was tired of dragging extension cords around and do not like gas powered anything. I was worried at first it would not have the power needed- but it does. As far as the battery, I got tired before it ran out. I even attached the longer extension on it and reached high in the trees without any problems. Was not heavy or unbalanced at all. Wish I would have purchased long ago!! It does not have auto-oiler - but tha...

Powerful, But Too Short

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this saw instead of the Black & Decker mainly because of the more powerful battery and motor. Unfortunately, it is about 2' TOO SHORT for my needs. I will not get up on a ladder to use equipment like this, so I guess I'm stuck with a product I don't need. At the very least, they could offer an extra extension pole for sale; that additional 2' would make ALL the difference for me.

Best purchase, easy to use.

Would Recommend

Found that once I use the first pole & got use to it ( 3 or 4 branches) then ready for the 2nd extention pole. Easy to recharge the battery. I cut branches big & small & was able to use it for 2 hrs with the first charge. I stopped because I was tired. Not because of lost of charge. . I'm a female & was able to use it with no problem of use. Enjoy It

First time use review. Need more use time.

Would Recommend

I have only used the pole saw on one limb and a collection of shrubs. The battery power was sufficient for this small and brief job. Have not put it to an extended use test. The bar bolts vibrated loose within the first 15 minutes of use but once tightened, lasted till the end of the job. Bar bolts do not have a lock washer which I think would prevent the problem. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the box with the pole saw INCLUDED a battery pack and a charger. I was told by a store worker...

USEFUL

Would Recommend

Very useful for what I needed. Full charged battery will trim quite a few branches. I was impressed how well it worked. Once the battery dies then you have a 3 hour wait. Figuring I won't be using it much after this year it was the perfect option for me. At least I know it will start in a few years when I need it again.

Gets the job done!

Would Recommend

I have used this product to trim four trees, average limb size of two inches, total of 52 limbs. I was using the extension for all the trimming and have to say I was getting tired toward the end. The battery was still going strong when I finished. Learned to let the weight of the saw do the work and not try to add pressure to the blade. Hint: Check to make sure the chain is adjusted and bar nuts tight before use. This was a great addition to our weed trimmer and hedge trimmer plus now have three...

Awesome Pole Saw

Would Recommend

When looking for a pole saw to trim up limbs over our house, I wanted to find one that was portable, yet did not have the weight of a gas saw, or a hindrance of a cord. This saw did not disappoint. Right out of the box, it worked great with every cut. The extension helped me reach every limb above my house I needed to. Most pole saws are going to be cumbersome with the extra weight on the top of the pole, but even with that said, this one is manageable. Great price as well, as I used a Lowe's gi...

B&D Electric Pole Saw

Would Recommend

A good medium duty power pole saw. Perfect for my needs. I have 7 Bradford pear trees that had gotten out of hand. I don't like the idea of using a chain saw while on a ladder, and my recent past experience using a manual pole saw made me less than eager to do that. I needed a good medium duty power pole saw with a respectable reach and didn't want to have to mess with starting, stopping and restarting a gas powered saw. Enter the Black and Decker. 20 volts of Lithium power, a reach of up to 14'...

Nice for a household

Would Recommend

I was a bit skeptical after reading a few reviews, but this baby works great and the battery lasted longer than I did! I cut down some pretty big branches and a few of them required standing on a ladder so I needed something that would not only eat through the branches, but would be light enough to handle as well. This probably wouldn't be the best for an industrial job, but for the average home owner, this is an awesome tool. This was a great value and sure did the trick for me, I was able to ...

Bad design

Would Not Recommend

this product works good for its purpose, but there is a little locator pin that broke on me 1 year after purchasing. Black and decker was useless with their customer service and I am going to attempt for the 3rd time to call them about it. Then lowes wont take it back without their warranty. I honestly wouldn't have bought it there again. It just comes down to durability. from the looks of it that little screw will break often.

Tree Trimming Made Easy

Would Recommend

I've always done my best to keep the trees and shrubbery well trimmed around my property-- it not only looks better, it's safer to have those dead and damaged limbs removed before storms blow through. And it's always taken quite a chunk of time (and energy) to keep my trees in tip-top shape, since I've done my trimming with handsaws and shears. Recently, I decided it was time to to give my arms and back a break, and invest in a powered pole saw. After researching a variety of models, I decided I...
