The Remington 10" electric pole-saw is well worth the money I spent for it. I have eight large trees on my property and had plenty of trimming to do. The saw cut large branches faster and easier than I had anticipated. I had purchased a larger gas chain for cutting the large branches for fire wood. I was able to accomplish all my cutting needs with the Remington and now have the option of returning the gas chain saw. The chain tension was tight out of the box and stayed tight even after a day's worth of cutting. My only negative comment would be that the chain oiler stopped working. I...

I bought this to trim an overgrown mango tree. Professional tree trimmers wanted $750 or more to do the job.
It cuts like a champ. It is a little heavy with the pole fully extended, but not too hard to handle.
Since I don't have another chain saw, the ability to remove the pole and use as a regular saw was a big advantage. I was able to cut up all the branches on the ground in short order. Switching from pole to regular saw is so easy that I went back and forth between pole and regular saw a few times to clear the ground before moving on to more branches. It only requires one bolt with wing nut...

I needed a pole chain saw to do the occasional trimming around the yard (about seven large trees). I wasn't very interested in the maintenance of a gas-powered chain saw (I have enough spark plugs and oil changes to do as it is), and I already had a trimmer, so wasn't interested in purchasing a new trimmer just to get the benefit of a chain saw attachment. I learned of this saw from a review of one of the gas-powered pole chain saws. I purchased it because it looked like it met the need, and thought it was a good price.
One of the things I like about it is that the pole is basically just a support...

I've been doing tree work for over 25 years. I've priced the gas operated pole saws but never purchased one because of the high price. This $100 pole saw is worth it's weight in gold.
Easy to operate. I bought it and brought it right to a job site. Within 10 minutes I was cutting branches over a chimney.

With vines and small? trees growing to the point where they are growing along the telephone lines behind the garage and over the garage roof, this bad boy cut them down to size in no time.
I just put the end in between the belt and my pants and had at it.
It is one sweet tool!

We lived thru the January 2009 Kentucky ice storm. I bought this product for my husband as all our trees were 30% - 90% destroyed or damaged. Husband says "It works great - safety lock a little tough to manage but other than that this is well worth the cost".

I've had this saw for over a year now, and while I've never used it as a pole pruner, I use it as a chain saw all the time.
I heat w/wood, but cannot handle a gas chain saw. I've had 3 operations on my arms. I needed a light weight saw that would hold up to the demands that I was going to place on it, so I decided to try this saw.
As long as the saw is sharp, full of oil, and I'm near a power source, I can cut logs that are bigger than what they say you can cut, I just roll the log, and if necessary, split off what's already been cut. I don't know how big the biggest log actually was that I cut...

I bought the remington pole saw to trim large branches before hurricane season. On my property I have about 12 large oak trees and as many royal palm trees. I normally pay guys to get this done. After a couple of weekends of work I saved a fortune with this little machine. Its small, easy to handle and powerful...."tighty mighty!" Great Investment! Thanks

If you have trees that need periodic trimming and can't afford a tree service, you need one of these. I have several large Siberian Elms that grow like weeds and need annual branch removal, this handled even the largest branches. The first one of these I bought had two defects; the oiler didn't work, so make sure yours works when you pump it. And the extender clamp came off the bottom pole section. The problem is, it's made of plastic, and will fail eventually. They really should have made this piece from metal. I exhanged it and the second one works fine so far.
Like any chainsaw, the important...

Although I am not ready to cut down large trees, it sure makes pruning and trimmimg easy. I even cut up what I cut down for firewood. Smooth operation, lightweight, nice balance, easy to handle. No complaints so far.

This is the perfect saw for trimming smaller limbs. It is light enough for easy mobility, yet tough enough to chew through those pesky limbs that grow too thick or too close to homes. With hurricane season already here, the saw helped me to do some proactive cutting.

If you have tall trees and the thought of climbing a ladder with a gas chainsaw, weakens your knees, this is the pole saw for you...from 1 inch branches to 6 inch limbs, this little saw makes quick work of it. From oak to ficus, cutting is a breese and the lightweight makes it usable for long periods of time.....the detachable pole is a major plus as well, and no messy gas mixing.....
well worth a "C" note.....A+

I normally do not write reviews but this product is well worth the money. Used it all day today and was great. Cut's like you would not beleve and is easy to handle with pole extended all way out. Great Buy.

The product accomplishes what is was designed for. It works well until you get to larger limbs on which it still works but takes alot more time and effort to get through. I would recommend it for others to use and use mine quite frequently. Make sure you keep the oil full to ensure the best possible cut times.
