Scotts Outdoor Power Tools PS45010S 10-Inch 8 Amp Corded Electric Saw, Adjustable Head and Oregon Bar and Chain

I bought this saw to take down two dead 50 foot Lombardy Poplar trees that were growing right against the fence. I wanted a saw that would allow me to reach up and section off the upper trunks and drop them straight down, hopefully without landing in the neighbour's patio, crushing the fence or breaking off branches from the many other trees in the area. This saw worked a treat. It seems very sturdily built and is very powerful - it has no problem cutting a full 8" of hard dry dead wood. It was easily assembled and fully extending the pole sections gives you a good 10 foot working reach. The saw was easily manoeuvred even at full extension. I was impressed with how fast it cut - I had both trees down and bucked in 3 hours with this saw, although I used a 16" saw for the thick section at the base of the tree. The Scott saw has a good chain oil system - it feeds oil through the bar and is much superior to the dribble system on my larger saw. Before use make sure you oil the chain well and use a grease syringe to grease the roller in the bar nose through the 2 holes provide in the bar. Overall, a good little workhorse.

I would buy this again but probably will not have to - I used it after a Hurricane to clean up hard wood branches, softwood branches and Palm trimming. Its a bit top heavy but worth it - its built solid and strong cutting ( I got large gas chainsaws but its a lot of work dealing with getting into places with 4" inch hard thorns ) - this solved it and I am amazed cutting UP ( yea not suppose to do that with chainsaws) - but it cuts / cleans up side of Palms (PUNK / Palmetto trees) really great shaping them ( if you don't you get small rats in that area under the palms). It does not go through oil that much... and the long pole fully extended would be tuff for 55 and older as its top heavy (extremely easy to break down - who designed this is real great engineer ) I am older and you find out Plugging things in gets job done vs. storing gas hard machines ... or bad old batteries ... its way more cost-effective and easier to just get things done and get back to normal life not TREAMING your life away like lost time Pressure washing. I highly recommend it - I used it 10 times with no issues and easy to clean - it's built tough

Excelente Sierra con mango telescópico. Corta muy bien, para el precio es mejor opción que otros, la sierra ya tiene la cadena y espada puestas, en mi caso la cadena vino correctamente ajustada, sólo fue adaptarle el mango y listo. Muy práctico.

Looked at lots of pole saws in the $80 to $100 range and picked this one because: 1) It had a 10 foot pole compared to others at 8 and 9 feet. 2) Cutting head seemed to be lighter and more maneuverable according to reviews. 3) I prefer corded electric tools (more later) We had an 80 foot pine go down on our lake shore from the edge of Helene. Just wanted to trim the top to restore access for our kayaks and a lot of high branches hanging over water. I had done about three hours of work the previous weekend with a manual pole saw and barely made a dent. Three hours of work with this electric pole saw and I was done. Took on a couple of 8 inch diameter limbs 10 feet up and cut through them effortlessly. Smaller branches went really fast. Had no trouble with chain tension which is less than I do on regular chain saw. As long as your careful it seemed to resist getting bound up in the cut. Pretty much, if you can get the chain on top of the limb, you can pull the trigger and let the saw chew through the branch - really quick and powerful. Something I'd never expect from the manual for a consumer pole saw, but it has really good directions on how to sharpen any chain saw. So it is a little chain saw attached to the end of an octagonal (instead of round) pole -- which makes it very sturdy -- never noticed it bend at all. Nice hand cushions for holding the pole and the power supply to the chain saw head runs inside the pole. Really feels like a quality tool. So for home owners who use their tool 4 to 6 times a year on an acre lot, I'm a big fan of corded electric tools. No two-cycle engine oil-fuel. No worrying about fuel over the winter, spark plugs, getting it started the first time. Compared to battery powered tools, No batteries that discharge before the job is done. No extra tool weight from batteries, no extra cost from buying/replacing batteries. Corded electric -- yes you need a convenient outlet and and 150 feet of cord to manage, but you plug it in and get your work done. Wipe it off and put it away and your done. One man's opinion. This Scotts 8 amp corded pole saw vastly exceeded my expectations. It's really a sturdy powerful tool. Feels like a lot more than the typical consumer grade tool.

In general product works well and I was able to cut thick branches quickly. Not super happy with the design as it is very long and cannot be folded for storage. It is also quite heavy. However I could be just little bit demanding here.
