Waiting on a Greenworks pole saw. Have been switching to battery powered tools for the past few years. Going to see how this works to clean up limbs we can reach. Will post later...

The pole saw is a great idea. I have a battery chainsaw (Stihl MSA 120). I love it for small stuff. Everyone laughs until they try it out and realize you can be done a small cut faster than you can start a gas powered saw.

I don't have a battery pole saw, but the milwaukee 18 volt chainsaw I just got is pretty slick. Not a replacement for a hot 2-stroke, but it's a great tool. Their string trimmer is also super slick. It has the option to put a pole saw on it. If I didn't already have a gas one, I'd probably go cordless right from the start.

While I have 4 gas chainsaws, in 4 sizes, I still use a battery chainsaw on some stuff. It's amazing how far batteries have come, along with brushless motors, they can work wonders.

And I've yet to be exhausted from yanking on the pull chord, unlike one of my saws.

It's my belief that if a saw doesn't start in 4 pulls max, it needs attention, something is not as it should be.

I just picked up a Milwaukee pole saw and it’s pretty amazing what it will get through on a single battery. If/when my stihl 026 gives up the ghost I may have to check out the 16” Milwaukee.

I've got a Greenworks battery-powered pole saw and chainsaw. (40v). Both are stellar. Unless it's a big job, I go for the battery saw first now over my Stihl MS170. The 291 still gets plenty of opportunities though. The GW pole saw was one of the best tools I've bought. Love it.

Well after a very long wait, the Greenworks pole saw arrived. Ron went right at it. No little trimming. Right to a big overhanging branch. A huge pile for the village crew on Monday. I created a monster. He'll be driving around on his Cub Cadet carrying the saw looking for work. I'll hide the battery!
