Greenworks 40V 8-Inch Cordless Polesaw, 2.0Ah Battery and Charger Included PS40B210

Excellent power. Very Versatile. Best In Class
I have tried several in this category like the Ugo at Lowe’s and even a Husqvarna Gas unit and Stihl Verso system which was nearly 4x more expensive, and this Greenworks combo unit is works fantastically – every bit as good and in many cases better due it is relatively light weight and lower cost compared to much more expensive model. Compared to the uGo at Lowe’s, this is 10x better, and three of my neighbors returned theirs and bought this one after borrowing mine when the UGo crapped out. The chain saw easily cuts through branches on my huge oak, magnolia, and palm trees, up to 6” in some cases. Have not had any chain derailment, like I did with others cutting the same trees. The hedge tool is very strong and shards up to about half inch branches. You have to be sure to oil the chain saw and I used WD40 on both chain saw and hedge.The battery will last enough to make you exhausted, as I had two blocks of tree branches stacked 6ft high that took me about 10 hours to shred using a towed 10” branch gas chipper. It charges pretty fast either way.Some feedback for the manufacturer- offer more tools to use the battery system with. Edger/trencher and tiller, vacuum/blower, and weedeater would be fantastic.Better instructions on care of the hedge trimmer blades. These rust after first use if you don’t clean them properly requiring wd40 and a wire brush. This is actually the case for ANY hedge trimmer as I found out with the competitive ones I tried.The only things I wish were better – offer a telescoping expansion so I can use the saw on higher branches, and possibly a handle attachment for the pole.One of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon.

Heavy
Pretty cool unit. Helped clear out many, many overhanging branches on a single charge. It is heavy, however. Unless you’re very strong the third extension makes it quite difficult to control. Overall, quite useful in its shorter configuration but ungainly when third extension is added.

Delightful! Just what I needed for lots of out of reach branches!
I had considered a pole saw, but all the gasoline ones are super heavy for a lady, andI had bad experiences with recharable batteries in the past not lasting, so hadnt evenconsidered a battery pole saw. Then a friend got one of a different brand, it cut excellenttho had a fiberglass pole that sagged and bounced, and it was still heavy for me. So Iresearched and this was the lightest one I could find with good reviews. And the pole is madeof aluminum which is the very lightest, more then fiberglass and doenst bend.I use it without the extension, which makes it too out of balence for me, but I can stilleasily reach ten feet which is plenty to take limbs off of trees as well as reaching intothorny brush at ground level to cut out saplings without getting all stickered. So this isjust what I have been needing for years. I do have a full size gas chain saw for big wood,but this is so nice for small. Congratulations to greenworks for making such a nice saw,and the battery lasts a long time on a charge too!, much to my amazement!!

Very light and powerful tool.
The pole saw is very light to use and very powerful. It takes an hour or less to charge. I have a Greenworks trimmer and it is over 2 years old. I’ve cut over 3″ diameter so far and it does great.
