20V MAX XR CORDLESS POLE SAW KIT

Great tool, powerful, long lasting battery, light weight, and easy to use. De Walt never disappoints .

I give this thing a 10+. I've owned other cordless pole saws--these DeWalt guys did thier homework. Chain is easy to work with---much eaiser than my "other" pole saw. Very well desinged and easy to use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought it, and finally got to use it today. Mind, you this is not a small residential lot, I have a substantial amount of property, and was clearing an area so I can get the tractor in there to mow. This saw cut everything I asked it to. It was not only good for cutting high stuff, but also great at reaching in to cut low stuff at the ground, like thorn bushes and honeysuckle. I probably used it nearly non-stop for 2-3 hours and the battery was still not dead. I read reviews of it being under powered or stalling, I did not experience any of that. The only time I would "stall" is if I already had it in a bind when I first pulled the trigger.

I bought this because I was tired of having long branches hitting me in the face while cutting grass. This tool was perfect and just in-time. I rented a dumpster and got to cutting. I like the length of the tool as well as the weight. Great for trimming trees or cutting down weeds that you can't reach with a line trimmer. One of the best outdoor tools I've bought from DeWalt!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to do my year end tree trimming and was very pleased to not have to climb the trees or ladder this year. It worked great, I used my 4 amp and 5 amp batteries and they lasted as expected. It cut through small and medium size with ease and even some bigger ones the size of a softball with no problem. I recommend this for homeowners and even a pro for fast and easy trimming.

Product works flawlessly for a single season and then you're buying a new one. The saw head does not stand up to any kind of wear and tear. Mine was used for home maintenance only with no commercial or job site use. The batteries and power of the 20V XR system is incredible.

I don't use it a lot I don't like it with the third section in because it bows

I have dozens of Dewalt products. The pole saw is very disappointing. The chain does not stay on the guide and it is with great difficulty to get the chain on. The guide teeth on the chain are pointed in different directions rather than running in a straight line. Or is this the new way of chains? Returning it for another brand. Had been looking at the 60V flex and 20V chainsaw. Don't think I'll risk it.

My experience for the very 1st hour of using this cordless pole saw use was a "5". After that I experienced a trigger and/or an electrical problem causing increased unpredictability/hesitancy in getting the trigger to activate the saw blade. I reassembled the pole joints 5 + times thinking the screw connector pins were loose or had some debris in them; I next made sure the battery was recharged, I even purchased a new 20 V 5amp battery- still no major improvement. I cleaned the bar and chain assembly completely too with out improvement. By the end of the second hour, ~ every 10th trigger pull, would get the blade to move. Yes, I re - re assembled the pole connections several more times (extremely easy to screw arrowed connections together), used compressed air to blow out the connectors too. I am thinking 1 of the pole connector pins is loose , broken or wiring at trigger or in poles has failed.☹

I bought this yesterday, came home put it together and what a treat! I expected more from this manufacture; I haven't purchased since buying an expensive drill a few years back and have one battery fail in 120 days and the other one just seven months in. Needed a pole saw for the farm and business I own. So, off I go and came home with this unit from where I buy nearly everything. A few years ago I crushed one of my hands; still very sensitive and sometimes a problem. I was going to go trim a few limbs on a tree outside my home. I put it together and lifted it from the floor when the head dropped several inches. Some flex is good; but, what I saw was extreme and I thought I put it together wrong. So, to the instructions I went once again; I did it a second time same results. All I can say is the flex is not acceptable and I was quite frustrated so I googled the reviews and found a youtube review addressing this same issue. Your design may work; however, the execution is sub standard. Running a pole saw is dangerous; but, your execution results in a saw that flexes more than reasonable. Moreover the box states 15 foot reach; does not qualify the reach is about 10 feet and a 6 foot standing human may be able to reach 15 feet. The flex is so great as it may in a short time impact the tools ability to perform. Moreover, while I take care of my tools, I use them and I have concerns even to haul it in my eight foot farm trailer to bounce around. I employ farm workers so having what I consider a flawed tool is not reasonable. I did not even try it out I put it back in the box and am returning it. I consider this extremely low quality and this was DeWalts last chance with me. I will never buy one of your tools again!
