Customer Review: B&D Electric Pole Chain Saw
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this saw. It has done everything I have asked of it including taking down a tree with a six inch trunk.Customer Review: B&D Pole Saw
Summary: 4 Stars
Good power & just enuff reach for normal stuff. I have 2 minor gripes, otherwise it's great - it's a'lil heavy, but not excessively & it would be great if you could also use it as a hand saw as well.Customer Review: B&D cordless pole saw
Summary: 3 Stars
THE POLE SAW WOULD BE 5 STAR IF IT HAD 2 BATTERIES AND A RAPID CHARGER. IT PERFORMS VERY WELL ON LIMBS UP TO 4 INCH DIAMETER.Customer Review: BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this saw with some scepticism about its performance and ability in cutting hard mesquite firewood. I have cut hard mesuite and eucalyptus firewood logs up to 4" diameter for my log heater stove, and also trimmed overhead branches and limbs with it. I am pleased with it's performance and upkeep so far. The chain does not need adjusting as much as I thought it would. I keep it well oiled and do not expect it to perform the same as a heavy duty gas chain saw, but it is a heck of a lot less trouble and easier to use than a gas saw.Customer Review: Be strong and anticipate headaches
Summary: 3 Stars
The interchangeability of the batteries from B&D is a great feature. i can use the same batteries from my weedwacker, blower, and hedge trimmer, as well as all my B&D tools!
I did find this lacking in cutting thicker branches. Some folks on here don't seem to have that problem, so maybe i just got a piece of junk, but mine takes FOREVER to cut through thick branches. I went out and bought a gas powered poulan pro pole saw and that cuts through things MUCH faster than the B&D.
Keep in mind that the B&D batteries mostly are nickel cadmium (at least mine is) and will have a memory effect. I've had to throw out at least two batteries throughout the past two years out of 8 batteries (other tools too).
The fiberglass extensions are a bit on the heavy side and while the whole unit as a WHOLE is fairly light. It's a very even distribution which actually leads to problems when you're fully extended and going far out. Your forearm and shoulder muscles WILL ache (IF it can even hold it out there). Gas trimmers have an engine on the back to offset some of the weight. The battery on the handle is not enough to balance the whole setup IMO.
This unit has been stashed away indefinitely since I bought the gas version.
