2-in-1 Cordless 6 Inch Pole Saw & Mini Chainsaw, 20V MAX* 3.0 Ah Battery Powered Chain Saw, Brushless Motor, Lightweight (7.1 lbs), 14.2 FT Max Reach Pole Saw for Tree Trimming, Wood Cutting

I wasn't sure what to expect with a DeWalt "compatible" product, but so far it is doing well. I can tell the plastic isn't up to the same quality as an authentic DeWalt product, but then again I'm not planning on subjecting it to the torture normally associated with DeWalt tools on job sites. So, I think the quality of this will be just fine for me, my garage, and my back yard. I had 2x 4" Birch trees that needed to be cut down, and this saw did great. Attached the pole arm to reach several dead tree branches and get them cut off. I was able to do all my yard work on a single 4ah battery, so that's pretty cool. The pole arm extension works really well. Though it did take some time to adjust the tension knobs just right for the pole to stay in place the way I wanted. When it gets bound up, it just stops and you have to release the trigger and start again. That's a fine safety feature for me. Though it can be a little frustrating when it's on the pole arm and you're trying to get it unbound and it's out of reach.

I purchased this pole saw because I already own/run DeWalt 20v cordless tools and needed a saw like this to do maintenance around my small ranch. This pole saw works great for keeping limbs clear on trails and pruning limbs on trees near the fields where I run the tractor. It has a manual oiler, and I suggest getting some cheap 3-in-one oil (light machine oil) to keep the reservoir filled. My only complaint is that the saw can get clogged with saw dust at times, but the tool less blade cover allows you to remove/clean the blade area. The blade can be sharpened and/or replaced as necessary. The unit is robust, and depending on the batteries you use, you can cut quite a lot with a single battery. It has the power to cut through larger limbs relatively easily, and at full extension provides quite a bit of reach. This definitely beats manual pole-saws for larger jobs (like trail maintenance). If I could find one with a slightly longer blade (12 inches), I would buy that, but it isn't a show stopper. I would buy it again.

For the price this little bugger can't be beat! I've only used it for a few branches so far but I am really impressed. It made short work of 3 and 5 inch branches I needed gone. It may be a little heavy and awkward for some folks when fully extended. But I'm a big dude and it was pretty easy to manage fully extended with both my arms fully extended to cut higher branches. Accepts Dewalt 20hv and rips through branches with ease for just over $100. What's not to like?

I am the type of person that only reads reviews, BUT this tool is so fantastic I have to write. I am a strong woman but do not have a lot of strength lifting above my head; however, this mini saw is light and nicely balanced so I had no problem cutting a huge number of tall branches. The saw cuts quickly and easily as I worked for over an hour without draining the battery. The option to operate the saw without the pole is terrific quickly chopping up the debris for an easier removal. Great value as I was able to accomplish tree trimming (even got up on a step ladder and got higher branches!) that I normally would have had to hire a tree company. The largest branch I cut was about a 4" calipre. Highly recommend!

works as it should for an inexpensive tool, battery lasts a long time, used it already for several trees about 50 cuts and batt still full, it jumps around when cutting so you have to pay attention, for what I paid it was a good value though
