Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This type of cut is often required to get clean cuts and prevent the arbor from getting pinned or pinched when top-cutting. It means you have to use your brain and be don't let the saw get pinched as it's cutting and the limb leans into the cut. Great...  Read More

The battery clicks in firmly and securely and stays out of any interference. The battery is expensive to replace but if you seldom use it, you probably will not have to replace the battery. I have 4 drill and impact drills that use the 20v batteries.



Cons

The hook on the back of the cutting blade is too long and chunky, always getting hung up and preventing proper positioning for the cut. This causes lots of hangups by cutting the wrong limb and unable to tell when the cut is almost complete.

Pole is lightweight aluminum and is easily bent by 2 branches landing on it. When you put the additional extension piece on the joints where the screw together becomes very flimsy and flex back and forth as you use it. This dewalt is heavier and reall...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


Well made, easy to assemble and uses the same batteries as my impact and driver drills


Easy to use, strong battery life and efficient cutting


Adjusted tension about 4 times in the three days.


Just let off trigger and it starts right back cutting.

Price


Relatively inexpensive, reliable, well designed, matches my other dewalt tools and has some good reach.


This tool paid for itself the first time i used it to avoid hiring a professional.


I guess if you used it daily like pro's it's not the best, but today i saved well over $500 vs hiring a guy, and got a new tool...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Came with 1 dewalt battery and it's own charger.


However, the saw looked as though it was thrown into the box with little to no packing materials.

Competitiveness


I have several other dewalt battery operated tools, so this was my obvious choice.


He likes that the battery is compatible with his other dewalt tools.

    When undercutting the limb it does bog down and stop

    Just let off trigger and it starts right back cutting

    I was looking for a long pole


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It says everywhere 15foot reach but never says the actual length


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Measuring from the metal piece at the base of the blade to the finger trigger is 8


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So if you hold this straight up with you right under the branch that is about to fall down you might reach about 15 feet but do not expect to get any higher than that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The one problem is battery life
