Excuse the pun, but I was disappointed that this just didn't have enough power to cut through a 3 inch branch. Rushing to get things done before a big bbq. I had bought this for just this purpose, I had a long low hanging branch right where corn hole goes. Saw arrived late the night before. The battery was fully charged but I don't know if the chain was full or what cause it would not cut this branch had to run to neighbors for manual one to finish the job minutes before folks arrived. It took me 4 hours to cut down one small live branch. Very disappointed.

This is a great tool for cutting limbs and small trees. It is not a work horse, so don't expect it to run like a homelite, but it is great, especially not having to worry with gas and oil and trying to get it started. Just snap on the battery and your ready to go. the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that that the chain was a bit hard to get on and adjusted. Once you get it put together it works fine, but it is difficult to get the chain and bar on and the tighening cover started correctly, while keeping the chain in place. But overall, it was great and it works great on the pole. I have used it on the 10' extension pole and it actaully worked, which pleasantly surprised me.

I got this for the pole, yet I've been using the saw alone. However, although it is advertised as being auto-tensioning, for some reason it keeps throwing the chain. The first instance was several minutes after I began using it; at which point I needed a LARGE adjustable wrench to loosen the adjuster. I'm not sure why this happens, it must have something to do with the step on the bar that contacts the adjuster. It occurs about twice for each charge. It is quite inconvenient. Otherwise. I love it. Its light and powerful. It cuts through small branches with ease (until it throws the chain). Maybe a different brand with manual chain tensioning would work better, but I'm sold on these little battery-operated chain saws. Very convenient vs my 18" Poulan Pro.

Extremely happy! I don't need a chainsaw very often but when I do this one fills the bill. With or without the pole it works great! And for the price it is unbeatable. Also I was worried about the automatic oiler but it supplies just the right amount of oil.

I bought this last year to help in taking down my grandmother's 30' sugar maple. While waiting for my uncle to show up with his bigger gas-powered chainsaw, I took down about 85% of the tree (the trunk was too big for the 10"). Great tool, and very versatile with the powershare system and the extension... couldn't be happier!

As a chainsaw cutting small logs it works very well. You HAVE TO have the log against the plate of the saw or it bounces up and down. It gnaws at small tree branches and it does not make a smooth cut. As a pole saw, it's very hard for it to cut without chewing the branch or consistently bouncing off the branch

Bought this about a month ago, I wanted something lightweight that I can use versus a full size chain saw. I can now cut up the limbs in lawn, rather than waiting for my guy to help me. This definitely was the correct choice and good value! It's easy to use with and without the extension pole attachment.

I own a wooded lot behind my house that has a lot of trees that need a lot of clean-up. I've been wanting a pole saw and chainsaw, I was hoping to go battery powered also. I don't want to have to maintain another gasoline powered device. I was very happy to find this combination on your website. Now, if the weather would cooperate...

Very happy with the chain saw ability and length of charge. The extension pole reaches as far as I am comfortable doing myself from the ground. Light enough for both my wife and I to use. Had an evergreen trees with multiple dead branches that the pole enabled me to reach without having to climb underneath the canopy. Pleased that the charge lasted the length of each job done to date. Has been used more than anticipated. Oil is readily available from the hardware store to put into the easy-to-read reservoir. The battery fits snugly, so removing it is safer with two people. EASY TO USE! The fee that would have been charged by my tree trimmer for the first job I did with my WORX chain saw paid for the saw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Do require modification to prevent retractive force even after the trigger is off. There is possible safety concern and harm to the person who is operating it. Design should be such that the moment the saw is deenergized the chain should stop rotating. Possible way to do that is to have fail safe braking on the disc.
