What Customers Are Saying
The pole saw has a mixed performance. It is lightweight and easy to use for cutting smaller branches, with the ability to detach the saw for use as a regular chainsaw. However, the tool is top-heavy and unstable when fully extended, making it difficult to control. The saw is also heavier than expected, which can cause fatigue. Some customers reported issues with the chain oiling system and manufacturing defects. Overall, the pole saw may be suitable for light, occasional use, but may not be robust enough for frequent, heavy-duty pruning tasks.

Great corded pole saw that doubles as a chain saw
Would RecommendExcellent product. Corded chain saw that can be used as a pole saw with attachment and then take off pole attachment and use chain saw to cut branches smaller. Included 3 year craftsman warranty!

works
Would RecommendDoes everything it said it would do. A bit awkward when fully extended, but with some practice, works fine. Used it to trim a tree with 4-6 in branches and it did the job. The hardest thing was purchasing it...had to go outside and order a pick up via online in order to get the sale price.

Chainsaw works decently, but is so top-heavy that it doesn't work well as a polesaw. Then, the oil reservoir leaks everywhere if it's not in use. Got oil all over the place.

Plastic junk
Plastic junk. After a year or so of light use, the plastic where a bearing should be part of the design, the thing melted.
