- Great Tool!!
- I recently decided to get back out in the yard and really get it in shape.
I love to prune trees and I have a lot of them. I borrowed an electric pole saw from my cousin last year and was very impressed with it - I was going to borrow it again this year , but my wife said "why don't you buy your own" Great Idea! I thought . So I began researching - as I mentioned I liked my cousins -however I did not like the fact that it was corded.
So I looked into te cordless world and turned to Black and Decker - I recently purchased the B& D cordless string trimmer and was very impressed - I liked the fact that the 18V battries were interchangable as well (no down time)
I received the pole saw when I got home from work and couldn't wait to use it , I had a late appoinment the following morning so I was out at 7:00Am pruning my beloved Japanses maple on the front lawn - try with a gas powered
chain saw- the pole saw was quiet and very powerful. in no time I had a HUGE pile of branches on the front lawn-(good thing I have a chipper /Shredder)
I love this tool - it is very easy to use - well balanced It has an extension pole for a reach of 14'- the extension pole is very easy to install- the whole design is well thought out. The only problem that I have had is that the saftey switch sticks in the on position after a cut somtimes- you have to really be aware of that and click the saftey off
other than that this is a winner
Pros-
Good Balance
reasonable price
Quiet
Powerful
good battery life
easy to assemble
came with carring case
Cons-
saftey switch sticks sometimes - 2008-05-30, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Going cordless
- I'm not sure how I lived without this tool. In the past I've cut so many extension cords off while pruning. This is a wonderful invention and a very sturdy product and it has been put to good use in my fruit tree orchard.

- Ten minutes is not enough
- We used 10 minutes cut couple six inch cuts and where done for six hours while charging batteries.**** TOOK THIS BACK **** Got the 10" Remmington 1.4 HP Electric pole saw it WORKS GREAT. Used up ladder, ground work and took off pole cut two stumps ground level. Used 5 hours cut stacked pick up load of wood. Did sharpen once about middle of day two pass on each tooth with file, great improvement.

- Can't find a replacement chain for the pole saw
- Overall, I liked the electric pole chain saw until my blade got dull. I figured it would be easy to find a replacement blade, but I can't find any place that sells it. I checked the Black & Decker website, other websites, major stores like Lowes and Home Depot, etc. Basically, the pole saw is now worthless to me if I can't find replacement blades.
I'd give it a 4-5 if it wasn't for the difficulty finding a replacement blade. - 2008-05-26, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Gotta have!
- Actually this is my second one of these. My first one was stolen from my garage, and so I bought another. I used the first saw only a few times, but it worked well. I do suggest that you get a second recharging unit so you can have plenty of recharged power packs.
