| Purchased the Homelite "chainsaw on a stick" and to date have had excellent results. The purchase went smoothly and it was delivered as promised AND it looked new out of the box. The chain did come off at the end of a day of "limbing" but other than that this product has been flawless. More powerful than I expected. |

this is a great item. the only PROBLEM we have is that I can't keep my husband from USING it! He's cutting down all the palm branches that give us shade.
Seriously though, it's a great tool for those hard-to-reach jobs. Buy this! |

| I purchased this saw without doing my normal research but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great saw. You just have to remember this is a chainsaw on a pole. Chainsaws require regular maintenance to perform correctly. Regular chain adjustments, cleaning and bar oil needs top be checked often. In short, I love this saw.... |
The good, the bad, but nothing truly ugly...

I wish I could give two reviews for this electric chain pole saw - one for the unit, and one for the refurbishment.
Let's start with the unit itself. First, a general warning: it's not going to last long if used for professional-level workloads - it's simply not heavy duty enough. However, that's not the market it was aimed at, nor what it was designed for. If you want heavy duty, buy a full-fledged chainsaw. But, for the average homeowner with a few unreachable small to medium sized branches to cut, it works great... lightweight, easy to maneuver, and surprisingly powerful.
Pros:
Great price, powerful unit, efficient garden tool...
Cons:
Filling the chain oil reservoir is a messy proposition, and the unit reaches 15' only if you're Shaq standing on a footstool, or a more regular sized person using a 6' ladder.
As to the refurbishment process, the saying you get what you pay for comes to mind. I've seen some refurbished tools look factory new... while others look like they came straight from heavy use, got shoved in a box after a cursory examination, and sent on their way.
The unit I got was dirty, had mulched-up wood pulp stuffed around where the chain goes into the unit's housing, and had dirt and oil in the threads of the pole extensions. Also, the cap on the oil reservoir must not have been closed tightly so it leaked - thankfully, the unit was wrapped in brown packing paper inside the box or it would have been a worse mess than it was.
I cleaned it up, and the saw works great, so overall I'm happy - but I did call the refurbishes a few choice names when I opened the box, I'll tell you that!
(Safety Note: like with any chainsaw, watch your balance while you're cutting - it's even more important to keep in mind when the saw is extended well away from your body - having the heavy end of the saw that far away from you takes some getting used to!!!)

WHEN I OPENED THIS TREE TRIMMER, IT WOULD NOT CUT THE LIMBS, I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE CHAIN WAS DULL I FOUND THAT THE CHAIN WAS PLACED ON THE TRIMMER BASCKWARDS. NOT A VERY GOOD JOB FOR A FACTORY REPAIR JOB. WHEN I CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IT WORKED FINE. YOU NEED TO CHECK ON YOUR SUPPLIERS BETTER.
