his is a very good product easy to assemble and use
Very practical for reaching higher areas of the plant. Very good quality tool and practical. Hope long term reliability match the brand standards. Recommended
Did what I needed. Bit heavy but it is fairly cheap. Great if you only use it once a year on a small area
Saves so much time and effort compared with using a manual pruning saw on a pole. Should of got one years ago! Not too heavy. The instructions aren’t great – I don’t think they even tell you to put chainsaw oil in the reservoir.
I used this to cut down tree branches and the machine did so efficiently.
The pole is a useful length and saw cuts through branches easily. Easy to assemble and you should put lubrication oil in it.
Great for trimming low but out of reach hanging branches.
A bit heavy and un-balanced to use, but understandable with 10 foot reach. Cuts well in pruning branches, pleased with automatic oil reservoir.
Does what it says. Make sure you tension the chain correctly (use the black tightening screw) and also flip off the orange chain guard plastic tightener with a screw driver and give it a few turns with the spanner provided. Double check you have the chain the right way around and all good. Recommended for around the 100 mark or less
Great value for the price. Cuts well and will take off quite large branches (4 or 5 inch diameter) easily if you work up the branch) Reach not as long as some when extended, but perfect for a non-professional with a high maintenance garden.
Literally best money ever spent! After receiving ridiculous quote to trim our extremely tall conifer hedge, we bought this to do it ourselves, and its amazing! Very sturdy, cuts cleanly and quickly. Just keep an eye on the oil level, as it goes down quickly. Best item I’ve ever bought, what an investment!
my dad said this is a really nice piece of kit for the price, only downsides is that there is no wireless option available.
Decent price, easy to use and assemble, did the job. Good value.
Having only ever used and purchased petrol driven chainsaws, I was sceptical about buying this item, but needed it as the overhanging branches from railway embankment that ladders alone couldn’t reach. Worked perfectly, no problems, just keep oil topped up.
Have used this in anger for the first time and it did not disappoint. Cut through a 10 inch tree effortlessly. Highly recommended.
Bought this chainsaw to reduce a beech hedge by around 4ft. It tackled the thicker branches no problem & made the job much easier. Would highly recommend.
Late night purchase, after a couple of beers!! However I’m impressed, trimmed my massive bush & the neighbours bush, it’s easy to use, very smooth, and can cut through some substantial thickness.
Very easy to assemble and a really good tool that does a good job . Very good value for money .
Used this to take 5 feet off a conifer in the garden. Don’t know how i would have done it otherwise without calling a tree surgeon. Easy to put together and after I had lopped the tree it made short work of cutting everything up so it could all go in the garden waste bin. Would be useful if the saw could be detached from the pole for some jobs but other than that good item.
Better than I expected. No issues putting it together and having used it for about 30mins have had no issues with loose screws etc. I think some reviewers just haven’t put it together correctly. Cuts branches effectively but is very top heavy as you’d expect (that’s where the weight is concentrated), so imagine it would become a little unwieldy after extended use. 4 stars as it’s not as powerful as my petrol chainsaw, but that’s to be expected. Overall, would recommend.

I searched for hours to find a good cutter like this and this is a great cutter just dont forget to buy some chainsaw oil at the same time. I have used this a few times now and it makes pruing out trees so much easier than a saw!
Blade is sharp, good quality, easy to cut branches and trees.*****
So easy to use. Cuts very well especially at an angle. Makes it easy to cut those difficult branches. All in all good value and fast delivery to your doo
This really did the job for pruning the tree’s over hanging branches, much easier than I thought it would be. It extends easily and is still easy to control. Brilliant.
I got this to prune an old and overgrown apple tree. The assembley instruction are not great but once you start all becomes clear. Not too difficult to manage when you get your stance right, bearing in mind that it is top heavy. The knob used to angle the saw head was very stiff and remains quite difficult to turn but that’s a minor gripe. The chain oil chamber is very small so you do need to keep your eye on it. All in all a good piece of equipment that cuts through branches like a hot knife through butter!
I must admit I wasn’t holding out much hope for this piece of kit but after a few seconds using it, I was very impressed indeed!
Very easy to assemble, very easy to use and incredibly handy. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy the same again.
I bought this product for less than 100 following two quotes of around 500 to prune my overgrown apple tree. I made approx 40 cuts of branches up to 4 inches thick with no problems. Very pleased with my purchase. Removing cut branches from the top of the tree required some effort and should be considered in advance (I used a long pole).
Easy to assemble and clean after each use.
As others have stated, the instruction leaflet should have been updated to correct errors and omissions since 2014 publication date. Not good for a company like Black and Decker. In particular note that no mention is made of filling the reservoir with oil even if this should be obvious (most of their written instructions are equally obvious). There has also been a design change that deleted the locking nut 8 and hence makes the provided spanner unnecessary. The chain tensioning instructions are thus confusing as they cannot be followed.
I did not find the tool heavy and it was easily controllable at full pole extension.
I would not recommend the tool to someone that often requires to prune trees but it seems ideal for the occasional use for which I bought it. Note that I have not had reason to test it on branches thicker than 4 inches.

I was a little dubious in making this purchase having had bad experiences of similar products in the past. This has become a godsend since the beginning of the lockdown in March 2020. I have rejuvenated my garden and without a doubt I could not have done it without my hardy friend. Easy to assemble, maintain and clean and a real Terminator in the garde
Could do with clearer assembly instructions, bit heavier than I thought it would be but overall would recommend
Being an 83 year old I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew. I found that this was not so when I cut off branches from an Oak tree I have at the bottom of my garden, it did the job and letting the saws weight and little pressure it cut through the branches with ease, the biggest being 6 inches in diameter.
Really like this chainsaw, has been so useful in chopping down a couple of tress we have that are in an awkward place to get to. Need to keep the chainsaw oil close but an excellent investment, though need a big shed to store it.
Used to cut down two medium sized trees. A little on the heavy side but I have coped despite my advanced years. Has proved a very useful addition to my garden tools.
Wonderful chainsaw cuts through thick logs easily.had to use YouTube to assemble but once you realise to slacken off tension screw to fit the chain assembly it is simple.although in my 70s it is my first chainsaw and as long as you follow instructions and wear a visor feel comfortable using it and it is a top class product and would highly recommend!
Can cut quite thick branches and telescopic pole is very handy. The only downside : it is heavy! God value for money i recommend;
Brilliant product, more than happy with it. It cuts through small branches with ease, amazing telescopic ability – I managed to reach branches up to 4m up and still cut easily. As shown in picture it can cut through much larger branches like a knife through butter!! Had a look on YouTube for an assembly video as instructions weren’t too great.
I highly recommend buying chainsaw oil (generic is fine) alongside this product as the Chainsaw will require this to operate smoothly.
Cons:
The nut used to tighten the saw chain & hold the cover over the components comes loose the more you use it. I had to tighten the nut by hand after every use when cutting branches thicker than 5inch diameter and after every other smaller branch. When the but gets too lose the cover will fly off and the chain and saw pieces also detach and fly off but just remember to tighten the nut every so often.
At full range the chainsaw can become quite top heavy and hard to cut with but under stable footing and a good grip still works well.
Would rate 5 star if these two issues didn’t happen.
Otherwise a great product for the price and amazing tool with surprising capabilities!
Works very well. Easy to assemble and not as heavy as my pole extended hedge trimmer.
This tackled trees bushes and branches.
Very happy although would prefer it cordless.
fast service and love this colour too.. does all those hard to reach jobs,, and also has a belt, which I put round waste,, for stability,, and keeps things going, ,, nice and weighty and easy to use,, and only thing, is that this company or any company, could have given a sachet of chain oil,, for this,,
good job, I bought chain oil at same time,, so I put in little compartment,, so to keep things , working well, which I did..
great and recommend to all family and friends
Needed more instructions but a famous piece of kit.
You need to buy gloves goggles chainsaw oil, and possibly a helme
Cuts well not too heavy when fully extended
Used it to cut down a birch tree approx 10 metres tall 100 mm thick That I was quoted 280 by a tree surgeon to remove.
Seems well made and has built in oiler for the chain (Remember to buy chain saw oil when ordering as none supplied with the saw)
This saw cuts really well and the telescopic handle works well but I do wish that I paid the extra for the cordless because the cable does make the use of the saw more difficult.
Liked the cutting ability, but you really do need to brace yourself against the kick when blade bites
Brilliant saw for cutting off tree branchs,can be a little bit heavy on the arm when extended out,it does make your arm ache.
A great tool, made it easy to cut branches in the middle of a very wide conifer hedge. Cuts through trunks easily. Easy to assemble and chain easy to adjust.
Little bit tricky assembling the saw….Was not cutting until I realised it was the wrong way around! Once l sussed it out with the help of a utube video (the instructions are rubbish) it done a great job and saved me a fortune…
Pro’s
– Easy to assemble, took me less that 10 minutes out of the box.
– Easy to use, great quick release action on the pole extension
– Surprisingly not that heavy, even when fully extended. I didn’t use the shoulder strap once.
– Will cut through thick logs with relative ease (see pic).
– And paying 79.99 for it, great value for money
Con’s
– Make sure to buy chain oil! I forgot myself so had to pop to my local screwfix.
– If you are planning on cutting some thicker branches, like myself, and have a few to do. It might be worth buying a spare blade as the one supplied doesn’t last that long. I used an Oregon Chain blade from Amazon, it was 11.15 and worth every penny.
– Keep an eye on the chain oil level. It is a very shallow sump and runs out of oil quicker than you would expect.
Pointers to Remember (If your new to using this kind of equipment)
– After a good few cuts, make sure to take the side plate off and clean out all the sawdust. It will help with oiling the blade and prolonging life.
– And when using it, always make sure that you butt the bottom of the guide bar up to the branch. NEVER cut a branch using the front end of the guide bar as this is where the “kickback zone” is. Google kickback zone if you don’t know what it is.
Would I recommend this to a DIY’er/keen gardener. ABSOLUTELY!!!
Overall great value of money, it does the job very well, feels sturdy and safe to use. Why only 4 stars? The chain tension screw isn’t in the best place and makes life a little difficult, and due to the 800W motor, it does lack a little power (for my personal preference).
I had some tall trees that I couldn’t reach and this made a very quick difference to them . It was heavy so couldn’t hold it up to long . But would highly recommend i
Great product was a bargain for the price I paid for, The tree blocked me and my neighbours garden, and cut the tree today and boy it got the job done! Very impressed glad to have this can enjoy rays of again thank you.
Really good product.
It’s heavy but not too heavy.
Cut the branches of my tree in no time that would have taken me days with ladders and saws.
v good tool but could create problems if not carefull. I am greek and my wife is english both living in greece. First time i used it to prune a v tall leyland, a piece of bushy branch fell close to my wife’s feet as she was watching the process. She got scared and she wanted to go back to uk. But after she saw nicelly pruned garden trees she changed her mind with a big kiss. The tool is a devil. It cuts well but its not for elderly and/or weak people.
Makes short work out of big jobs. Brilliant bit of kit. Makes garden time a joy. Even doing nextdoors trees!
If you need branches cut down this is the machine for you!
Excellent product, just need to keep checking tightness of chain after several cuts.
Good sharp saw, if using a lot with the pole extended starts to feel heavy and makes your shoulders ache ( perhaps it’s me getting older) it would be a big improvement if you could turn the saw 45degs so that you could cut horizontally across tall hedges etc
My wife bought this pole saw for me and I think it’s brilliant. A good reach and a nice cut very quickly I can’t wait to use it again ! New chain are cheap and easy to get from auction sites . The only problem I have with it were the instruction how to assemble the chain on the machine , a lot of head scratching but I got there in the end . It’s paid for itself already , tree surgeons are not cheap .
The saw is very heavy and hard to control if you are of slight build. It does cut through thick branches, though.
Good product works well. Only minor coment would be its quite easy to knock off the oil reservoir cap when working in amongst tree branches.
Great we machine went through my hedges in no time . Can use it now to saw firewood
Works well, could have been supplied will a small quantity of oil to get you started. Overall I am very pleased with it.
Slightly heavy to use at full reach. However, when you try to get a new chain, it takes a bit of work. The chain has a B+D part number, but arrives in Oregon bag with B+D sticker? Not sure if the Oregon number also shown cross references? Took a bit of finding as not on Amazon.
Great machine cuts very well take care to use use safely.
Does the job it was purchased for. Good piece of ki
A good product but very heavy to use when fully extended.
As most of the weight is at the chain end, it tends to be difficult to handle when you are using the extension.
Otherwise a good tool.
Cancel your gym membership and buy this.
This is a top product, good reach and ideal for tree branches. Surprised how good it was.
This product is amazing, it cuts through trees with ease, and it extends considerably
Took a while to fit together with a wee bit of guesswork along the way. Soon got the hang of it and I was able to reach quite high branches, but with the pole extended, it soon begins to feel pretty heavy – but then I’m only 5 feet 2 ins! Cuts through big branches quite well. A few looked a little “ragged” but possibly I’m not using it properly. All in all, I’m quite pleased with my purchase.
I have to say…this is a superb bit of kit. My big regret: why did I wait!!
Absolutely amazing tool, highly recommended easy to use and does exactly what it claims to do
Lou used it too lop back a tree ie branch’s worked a treat, a bit heavy if you have it at its full cutting length, but I just rested between limbs worked a trea
Easy to set up and use , great gardening tool to have
Obviously heavy at the motor end compared to my previous Makita petrol pole saw but considerably cheaper! Saw blade cuts quite viscously and so better kept for thicker branches above 2in or it will give a ragged shredded finish.
I ordered this for my husband to prune some trees in the garden. He was very pleased with its performance. Came in very handy after the gales we had. Would certainly recommend this product.
hia is a heavy-weight loper which really cuts surprisingly thick branches. I like the extension.
Used this cutter to trim some branches. Really pleased with it’s performance. Lightweight easy to assemble and use. Thoroughly recommend this produc
Heavy as you’d expect but the quality of the cut is fantastic. Very happy.
Excellent power like a chain saw on a stick, because that’s what it is!
A little on heavy side though
Great saw for tree. Very easy to use. I did the work on the tree in no time.
This is a fantastic piece of kit. Used it on two large Apple trees, both over 7 meters high. Thought I would need to buy a new chain by now, but it just keeps going and fast as well. Just remember to get your chain oil and keep an eye on it. The saw has a view window for this.
This has been well worth the money. We sent it to Greece on the lorry and it has been really good for pruning the olive. Just ask Kevin!!
great for reaching up high. alittle heavy when out to full reach. but over all good
Excellent product. Far exceeds my expectations. Well worth the money.
Great saw for the money, cut done three 30 foot silver birch without having to use any ladders and just as powerful as my petrol Stihl chainsaw
The chain is kept in place with a plastic tightener rather than a lock nut, this keeps coming loose and the chain slips, meaning you have to check it for tightness every couple of minutes she’s in use, however as an occasional high branch this looper its fine
Works perfectly, very effective and really does the job.
Note: this item comes without any chain saw oil – you have to buy that seperately, so it’s another 12 or so on top
Clever design with the adjustable length. I can now prune a tree without having to go up a ladder.
Great product. Really useful for getting at those hard to reach branches, easy to use and not too heavy given its length.
Very impressed, better than I expected. Pity no chain oil included
Fast delivery, found it easy to use and efficient. Better than my petrol chain saw. Very pleased so far.
A very useful tool. I have about 400 meters of evergreen hedge which is over 8 feet tall, The tops grow like christmas trees to over 12 ft. This is very hard work and this little saw just eats it up. You need to be careful and keep the chain tension just right and the plastic cover often jams up with small twigs, but, keep it clean and it keeps going.
I have bought an extra battery; to always have lots of power, and have worn out two chains already, but the motor still runs powerfully. The chain teeth are quite small and it took a bit of looking to find a 3mm chain file. I’m glad I bought it, every time I take it out.
I thought for that price it would be low on power and quality but I was sooooooo wrong buy i
Mr D Peters
Used it once it took longer to fill oil bottle than it did to cut all the branches excellent bit of ki
