Prune dead branches 14 feet above head level with Black and Decker's Cordless 18-volt Pole Pruning Saw and never set up a ladder again. An eight-inch cutting bar and chain cuts branches six inches in diameter with out overexertion. A center extension slides out to reach the high branches and slides back in for lower cuts. For less downtime and more productivity, the 18-volt Nicad battery has enough runtime and power to cut one hundred 1-1/2-inch branches on a single charge. A 3-section design folds down for compact storage in the included storage bag. An extremely user-friendly tool, this saw's motor is positioned in-line with the pole so that it fits between branches easily and doesn't obstruct visibility. And, weighing only 7.6 pounds, this pruning saw is easy to handle as well. Not only does it reach high branches easily, it actually cuts them, too. The saw comes with battery, charger, storage bag, blade guard, oil bottle, and wrench. Black and Decker covers the pruning saw with a 30-day, no-risk, satisfaction guarantee as well as a full two-year warranty. --Brian Olson -- Amazon.com Review
We Recommend This Cordless Pole Saw! -- We have 2 acres of heavily rustic landscaping with several shade trees of various sizes, among other trees that have never been pruned or lopped. This Pole Saw will not replace the standard chain saw as we have gas and electric chain saws, but it is a most valuable resource for the homeowner. The B & D Pole Saw met our expectations; as last week we loaded three full-sized debris service truckloads of tree limbs and branches hauled away using the Pole Saw. We also used it in the adjoining woods removing invasive over-hanging tree limbs and branches that created a nuisance and otherwise. It did well pruning the fruit orchard peach, apple, plum trees this alone was worth the money for the saw. This saw paid for itself just from completing the basic tasks we desired, then extending onto increased formable tasks. To remedy the issue of battery usage and slow recharge. We purchased the B & D FSMVC quick charger 90 minutes for $23.95 to accommodate a much faster charging of the 18 volt batteries. This helps maintain fresh batteries at all times by rotating them out. We now have 4 of the batteries which is sufficient to operate the B & D 18 volt system for the Pole Saw, Grass Trimmer, and Hedge Trimmer on the property for our projects. You will find the Quick charger greatly improves the availably of a fresh battery and is worth the purchase. A tremendous advantage of this tool is there are no electrical extension cords to entangle, and there is no pull-starting a noisy messy gas unit. The Pole Saw is sufficient to function with our lopping and pruning needs thus, we can do this ourselves without hiring someone. The saw disassembles for storage in the B & D padded bag; The saw is lightweight allowing for most persons to use it. Has the plastic oil bottle to keep the chain oiled as we oiled more frequently during larger branches and hardwoods; and has the chain guard cover for when not in use. It did cut the larger dimension limbs/branches as well, this includes hardwoods as Oak, Hickory, Sycamore and Popular Trees without any difficulty. When trimming hardwoods having additionally charged batteries is a benefit. We avoided the huge limbs that common-sense implied required a full-size chain saw or beyond our skills. When dealing with trees possessing undergrowth containing tangled vines it is best not to engage the saw with this. Also, small very flexible limbs such as softwoods may not cut well can result in deminished cutting something you might not want to cut with this saw. After tending to the White Pines removing everything up to 14' experiencing "Dieback" from last years drought it seemed to be "gummy" and the saw chain needs to be wiped off after this. Overall, this is a nice tool for the homeowner in need of accomplishing "Do It Yourself" basic tree maintenance. We are pleased with the results from the Pole Saw. It is nice to be able to open-up some overly shaded areas to access sunlight in locations in the yard as well this will assist in reseeding certain portions of the lawn. We are pleased with the results for the property boundaries where trees providing privacy but needed pruning. We managed to remove limbs over house guttering thereby, reducing leaves in the gutters. The Pole Saw also vastly improved the areas surrounding the front porch and rear deck and fish ponds that have large trees; along with the driveway too. We may borrow or rent a cherry-picker bucket to access some branches over the driveway that are too high to reach on the oak tree. In retrospect, we wish this Cordless Pole Saw had been available years ago, as this is a tool we enjoy using and working with. Furthermore, we live in the South with the threats of severe storms with significant wind gusts or at times straight line winds which are common here. I am sure it will come in handy when a strong wind storm passes leaving limbs to be removed. In the aftermath of severe storms; it appears this Pole Saw will compliment the chain saw for dealing with any unfortunate damaged trees.
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.
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. Bill
Good Design -- I bought it to trim trees off my house and my neighbors branches that are dropping onto my privacy fence. The unit the did the job. I can add little to the many good things that have been said. I took it out of the box, no oil, no chain tightening and went to work for about one hour. I'll get around to the oil and adjustments. It is well designed, better unit than I thought I would get for the money and works very well. Battery staying power is better than I would have thought given the power draw required by the motor.
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.
