One guy's ryobi pole saw had a fuse to blow up in the barrel of the handle and had to tear the saw apart to get to that fuse that had no reason being there or that hard to get to.
Have owned one of these for about 4 years. Why Ryobi didn’t make it usable without the pole is a bit disappointing. The unreliability of Ryobi batteries overall limits the satisfaction level of all their cordless tools IMHO. Saw is very handy.
@NiceTriGuy your right, it would be nice to be able to use it without the pole. About the batteries, i never had trouble with them other then when using them in the impact wrenches.
@@Toolspecs LOL… re the batteries, UA-cam is full of videos about how to ‘resurrect’ them. I build up stacks of them that die and won’t recharge. I have a permanent area of my workbench where I tear them down to bypass the safety circuits so I can boost the residual voltage to the point the chargers (I have several) will recharge them. Ryobi has one of the best lineups of battery powered tools but, undoubtedly the worst batteries. You never see contractors using them.
Thanks, good demo
Welcome!
This weekend I'm going to film some test with the 18v 10" chainsaw with the new 12ah battery.

I'll have to check for this. I did a video and had a 18v snow shovel handle apart to fix the trigger but it didn't have a fuse in it.
