Overview
A homeowner with high limbs to trim gets a battery-powered pole saw: a brushless motor at the end of a telescoping aluminum shaft, with an angled bar and chain head for control. A battery and an automatic jump charger are in the kit.
Cordless power without a gas engine and a long extendable shaft are what make it worth a look, and an auto lubricating chain with tool-less tensioning cuts down on upkeep. The limit is a single battery in the kit, and a long pole tires the arms over time.
Who it's for
Property owners who prune high branches a few times a year will find the extendable shaft and angled head useful. Heavy tree work, or anyone who dislikes holding a long tool overhead, should look at a different approach.
Pros and cons
- Telescoping shaft reaches high limbs
- Brushless motor, battery powered
- Auto lubricating chain
- Tool-less chain tensioning
- Single battery limits run time on big jobs
- Heavy to hold overhead for long
- Run time not listed
Performance notes
The brushless motor drives the chain at the head of a long shaft, so reach comes from the pole and cutting from the bar. An angled head lets the bar meet limbs at a workable angle, and automatic oiling reduces friction. Run time with the single battery is not given.
