4 Stars cordless tree trimmer
Works well… but difficult to maneuver because at its full extension is not weighted properly. Could cause strain on some backs. Does not cut smoothly through small branches. Best for branches from two inches to five inches in diameter.
5 Stars Great Tool
This was purchased to enable trimming of limbs too large for our manual pole pruner. My husband and I have been very pleased with how well it works. We have been amazed at how much power the battery provides and how long it lasts between charges. We were able to cut a six inch limb in a Chinese Elm that had cracked but not come down. I appreciate the carry bag provided which enables me to store all the parts neatly between jobs.
3 Stars On the heavy side, but does the job.
Bought this to cut palm leaves/branches too high for me to reach from a ladder. When the extension is added, the pole reaches some good distance but a little heavy trying to keep it up when cutting multiple branches at a time. It does balance when held from the center of the pole. So I can’t say that the chain end is heavier than the other. It’s quiet and cuts real good. Make sure you tighten the chain after a couple of cuts. It was loose after three to five cuts.
5 Stars Works great
This got the job done. Make sure to check the tension of the chain prior to use…mine arrived a little loose. Then to oil it prior to use. It comes with a nice bag for all the extentions/parts.
4 Stars worth the money
This saw is only 9.5 feet long (6.5 feet without the extension), will run out of battery before you run out of energy, has to be oiled, and is a little unwieldy due to the weight. But having said that, this saw is great! It allows you to get into and through dense foliage, reaching places that a rope saw could never get to. With a fully charged battery I found that it cut very well. And keep in mind, the reason you still have energy when the battery runs down is that the saw has been doing most of the work. The only problem is that you will have a lot of branches to get rid of when you’re done.
