Oh my goodness, I just had mine repacked ready to return because I could not get it together. Then you mentioned you had yours upside down during this video. You saved me from returning a great tool. Thank you for not editing and keeping your videos true to your experiences.
Hi Toni. Yeah, it’s hard to see that they are just a little bit different. It’s a really good tool. I bought the extra extension piece so mine is extra long. Works great. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The kiddos liked watching this one. Looked like fun cutting all those limbs.
Ha Ha. That was a lot of work. Sawing part is fun, the picking up part, not so much. lol Give kiddos a hug for me.
The advantage of brushless is that brushes never wear out. Most people throw away the equipment rather than install new brushes (cheap but may be hard to find locally). Brushless saws continue sfter shut off due to inertia. Conventional saws stop immediately. This could be a safety issue if you expect them to perform the same. I would go with brushless if I used it alot. If used rarely go with the cheaper tool.

Nice work. I just picked up a GreatCircle gas powered 7hp chipper shredder off of eBay to recycle the debris. It has a 3" feed tube for limbs.
Hey bubba. I've contemplated getting a chipper for mulch and stuff. I'm afraid I'd destroy it in short time though. lol
Great review. Thank you
Thanks Dave. I use this a lot and it works great. I also bought an extra center piece to make it about 3’ longer.
Thanks. That's good to know. I just bought one and the line trimmer.
I got the trimmer that has attachment capability so I have an edger too with it. The 16" brushless chainsaw is really good too. The smaller brushed saw is inexpensive, but not near as good as the brushless one. I also have the little cultivator I use on my raised bed gardens in the spring.
The brushless chainsaw is tempting. The line trimmer has a drive shaft and can take attachments, which is great. Thanks for all your advice. Much appreciated!
@@beenflying1 I really like the edger attachment. I have a sidewalk that goes all the way around my house and about 3/4 through, my grip starts to get tired, other than that, it really works good. I can do that entire sidewalk and driveway on one battery. (The bigt one, not the smaller one)
We had some Narly storms, and some roll taters go by Sunday night! blew some limbs down and blew my pepper crop over : ( but the bees was ok 90 mph winds near the roll taters SCARY AS HELL told my GF get away from the windows! > come into the hall way NOW! We lucked out Bath tub or the hall way is the safest place to be> Storm shelter is best > We do get a lot of tornado's! Not as bad as OKLAHOMA and KANSAS does.
I saw the damage on the news. Crazy weather.
A man can never have to many toys! Looks like a keeper to me buddy. Seemed to cut really good. Thanks for the review. Agree on the chainsaw. Have a great week! Oh Rene wants to know if'n ya accept her reaper challenge?
Hey Mr. CB. Yeah, I like the fire out of it. Speaking of fire - NOPE! keep them peppers away from me for sure. lol I'll stick to my 'Fooled You Jalapenos' lol Take care
New trimmed one bush trimmer won't cut after that. Noticed pole trmer is not as sturdy as clip handle ploe trimmer.regarding trimmer blades. Cheaper materials used with pole saw and trimmer
Mine works great.
@Jerome Bee. Thanks for that.
Any suggestions on why trimmer won't cut. Can't find any videos on blade adjustment.
The blades move but don't cut
Mine came with the middle extension piece. But, you seem to be saying extra extensions can be bought. So, you can use two extensions? I'm not finding them on Amazon.
I've found my pole saw a very handy tool but that extra extension could be useful for a large magnolia that likes to grow out over our street.
Thanks for your video.
Yes, I purchased a second middle piece. It warns you not to, but I did anyway. lol I don't have it in all the time, but when working really high, it can keep your feed on the ground and stay off the ladder. It's long and hard to handle like that and is really heavy out on the end from all that leverage, but it works pretty good once you can get it positioned. I used it a lot that way this spring cleaning up after an ice storm. Here's a link to the piece: amzn.to/3oSIrVQ
I was about to order it but saw the Greenworks PS24B210 8-Inch 24V Cordless Pole Saw, 2Ah Battery. PLEASE let me know if I should order this one instead?
I would go with the 40V. (This one)
@@JeromeBeeFarm THANK you so much! I ordered this one like you got.
I ordered oil too.
You won't be disappointed. You might get an extra chain too so you always have one sharp and throw it on while you are getting the other one sharpened, or you can sharpen them yourself with a special file. There's all kinds of sharpening tools, but the easy way is to pay a mower/saw shop.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I got the pole saw sitting in the box and have not been able to even start it up because of a project here on the house that has to be done before. I will have to watch the video on it before I use it to sure I do it right.
Great video, thanks for posting. What's the combined weight (saw+battery). I presume you only used powerhead+attachment. No extension?
It has the one extension in the middle in the thumbnail. I don’t know the weight. I’d guess 6-7 lbs.
@@JeromeBeeFarm - Thank you.
Completely different category, but I have a corded 12" Remington pole saw. Finally burnt up the first "head" (chainsaw) and working on #2. Not practical for your spread, but I can drive a vehicle out and run the saw off an inverter. You're in much better shape than me =Arms wise. When I use my limb saw I have a sore back the next day. Wrote this only with Christian thoughts but it is difficult to compliment another w/o it possibly getting read as gay. =Not me, brother! -Blessings...
Hey Og. I probably have that same remington, and also a Poulan gas one that won't idle, not even when it was new. lol That gas one will definitely wear you out. Yeah, this thing is the hot ticket and it was cheap because I already had the battery I got with the chainsaw. I couldn't believe how well it cuts. I think maybe because the motor is out there by the bar making it heavier. No worries. lol I had a sore back too and didn't do much of anything the next day. lol Keep fighting the good fight. Take care brother.
@@JeromeBeeFarm good to know about the sore back. I won't overdue it then. Build my muscles slowly.. afterall I'm an ole gal 64.75. I considered getting a hard hat.. with that reach I might not need it afterall. Excited to try mine. I thought it came with the oil but nope so I must get it asap
Hi Jerome
How do you take the pole apart (to make it shorter?)
They slide together and have a threaded collar that holds them together. You just unscrew the collar and slide them apart.
Is there a metal blade lawn edger attachment that fits this?
No
I don't believe it, I need to see it first hand so when are you coming down to demonstrate .
I'll demonstrate it, but you have to pick up the limbs. lol
@@JeromeBeeFarm I've got one of those stihl telescoping ones. gas engine and probably extends to 11 or so feet. that thing will wear you out in a heartbeat.
Yeah, I don't think I could work this one very long either. That pole kinda amplifies the weight. I think they call that foot lbs. lol I bet that Stihl is a nice one though.
Any one want gift me powerful saw
It's a nice saw for sure. So much better than a gas powered one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Greenworks has the worst customer service on the planet. After an hour on hold, they refused to snail-mail me the original manual that was SUPPOSED to have come in the sealed box w/ their brand new saw. Done w/ G-works.
Also has a design flaw re difficulty in changing blades. not giving any hints. I'm not their unpaid consultant.
First off, it's a chain, not a blade. IF you need a manual to operate this, I can see how you would have trouble installing a new chain. Mine still works flawlessly just as in this video, and it's done a lot of work. And here's a link to the manual:lawnandgarden.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/greenworks_tools/20672.html
