I have really put this tool to it’s paces in the last month. I live in a area that there are a lot of willow’s that were crushed, do to the heavy snow winter. I have cut and cut for days with this tool and put it through a real test. I needed a pole saw, a couple times time and did not have one. With a little research I found that this company made one for this saw.I ordered it and found it to be very useful. It is great that you can slide the batt off the saw on to the pole, and slide the chainsaw on the other end, and it works with the trigger extending it the distance that is needed. Definitely a very versatile tool for sure. I really like the fact that the head can be adjusted the angle that may be needed to make the cut. This pole have been a real time saver. The pole feels very sturdy,and well made. I find the trigger is counseled and works the way it does. If you use this set up a few times you will find that it is a keeper for sure.
