Worth every $$$, Easy and Painless
|
| Review Date: February 24, 2010 |
| Reviewer: JERWIN T. TABOR, Lawton, OK |
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1K6PRBRFJJPVO Easy and Painless is how I want to describe this little workhorse. For such a tiny electric pole saw, it delivered pretty good. Look at the video to get an idea. And for a $70 electric pole saw, you'd think that it wouldn't have enough power, but you'd be surprised. I used this during the "Winter Wallop" in Oklahoma a few weeks ago. I was steadily cutting away and I had to stop only because I had to answer the telephone. No stalling and I switched easily from normal extension to it's maximum extension as you can see on the video. My little Chewing Train was chugging along. It ain't no Black and Decker or Poulan or McCoullah, or DeWalt or any other brand I"ve ever heard of, but it worked splendidly with absolutely no problem.
Summary of this unknown Electric Pole Saw:
Price: Excellent
Handling: Great
Reach: Excellent--You can extend it by simply using a ladder, but be careful of weight distribution
Oil Usage: Minimal
Chain Lubrication: Excellent--auto lubricates very well
Weight: Pretty good for an average man.
Clean UP: Very eary
Assembly: Very easy
Noise Level: Very good, almost like a small electric mower. 3x less than a Gas Chain Saw
Storage: Very Good, even had it stood up for storage and no problem. Not even an oil drop.
Chain Replacement: Very Easy
Chain availability: Any Lowe's, Home Depot or Ebay you can get it.
Kick Back: None. I used it for about 45min straight. Checked it for 5 mins for chain tightness, used it again for another
30 minutes and it cut with no problem. It did bind twice, but I was trying to cut a straight 7" diameter log
If you cut a wider one... Use the lumberjack technique and cut from three sides. I even let a friend use it
and he thought it performed very well.
Overall: Great price, great reachability, easy assembly, easy to clean up, minimal noise, and handles well.

Amazing product! Especially for Palm Trees.
|
| Review Date: May 7, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Ivan Thomson, |
I use this for Palm trees and this thing is by far the best tool I've ever used for trimming palm trees. This saw cuts through the green palm fawns like butter and it cuts through the hard dead brown ones like no one's business. I assembled the product using the included tools in about 15 mins and was outside cutting my palm trees in no time at all. I have several very tall palm trees in my yard and one was full of dead hanging hard brown frawns. This tool was cutting them off so fast I had to watch out for them falling so fast.
I have no idea how this saw performs on other types of trees but for palm trees it is simply amazing and if you have ever cut palm trees you know how hard it can be to find any decent tools for the task and this saw will cut right up to the tree; no thorny thick stems sticking out anymore.
The gardeners want way too much money for trimming now. This tool cost me less than hiring gardeners for a single trimming session and now I can save money and take no time at all trimming my palm trees.
Seriously, if you have palm trees and want to trim them yourself (providing you feel comfortable climbing up a ladder because palm trees get pretty tall) then you will love this tool. |
Great Little Tree Saw

| This saw has worked out great for my needs. Easy to assemble, just add chain saw oil (doesn't come with it), plug in your outdoor extension cord and go to work. I used it to trim my mesquite tree with some branches over 5 inches in diameter. Good reach ability when fully extended and not to hard to handle even though the balance is not perfect. I'm totally satisfied with the saw. |
Good Cheap Saw
|
| Review Date: July 8, 2010 |
| Reviewer: William K. Cooper, Knoxville, TN |
I've been bitten many time by cheap tools, but took a chance on this one because of the reviews. Glad I did.
Saw arrived today. Per reviews, instructions are not very good, but assembly was quick and simple. Just study the tiny diagrams and make sure you understand them before starting in. (I bet that the reviewer who said the saw did not cut well installed the chain backwards.)
After assembly, tried saw on some low limbs in a cluster of low decorative trees. It would have been nearly impossible to reach them with a regular saw. The pole saw made it easy. I could reach in from the side and move forward as I cut/removed each target limb. It is a small saw, but handled the small to medium limbs well. Not as fast as a bigger saw, but it's a small electric inexpensive tool. The automatic oiler seemed to work just fine.
I did not cut anything high, but did lift it up. Yes, it takes a lot of strength. Any pole saw does. In the fall, I will use it for higher work and just take whatever time is needed, resting when the old arms give out (I'm 71.)
My first impression of the quality is that it is better than expected. If experience changes that impression, I will update the review.

Great Value In This Product

I can't say enough good about this little wonder. I own a Stihl Combi Tool and was considering paying over $350 for the Pole Saw and extender but just could not justify the cost for pruning branches around the yard. The video that was shared by a previous buyer convinced me to give this saw a try. I'm glad I did. I have used it for approximately 4 hours over two days and couldn't be more pleased. It has performed better than I imagined. I have cut limbs that were 4-5" with no effort at all. If you are looking for a tool that pays for itself within the first couple hours of using it this is it.
