It arrived in 2 days ...i put it together and had immediate use for it. Limbs were fallin. Good unit. I used my big battery for counter weight. This will give the unkept a workout when using at full extension

    Great saw
    Easy to assemble and great for my needs for cutting! I like the 40v battery that lasts as long as I needed for any day (mornings) work. Also, very quick to charge the 40v battery.

        The battery didn't last even one use and had to be replaced.

        I had a plug in electric pole saw that I replaced with this one. This one works at least as good as the plug in model but no hassles with dragging the cord or reaching the far edges of my property. An excellent addition to my other Ryobi tools.

        Pole Saw
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pole saw is hard to balance and the cutting power is weak.

          Chain won’t stay adjusted
          When it works it’s fine. However, the chain becomes loose and has to be constantly adjusted. I spend more time adjusting the chain than using the saw. Don’t bother with this one. .

            Broke after 10 minutes
            Started to cut one small branch. With pole fully extended it is rather heavy at the end. Plastic near the handle is fragile and immediately cracked. Wish I had read the reviews before buying. I saw somebody else reported the same issue after using for 20 minutes. Returned to Home Depot for full refund.

              Good trimmer
              Lightweight and easy to use. Good addition to my Ryobi arsenal.

                Really heavy when max extended
                Taking it out of the box it seemed ok weight wise. But when I fully extended it was way too heavy for this non heavy weight. I do lift at my gym but this felt like I was holding a 40 lb weight up from the handle. Ryobi needs to cut 3-4 lbs off...maybe in the covering? Too bad because I really need this saw.

                Hello, Johnf - We're sorry to see that this pole saw has been heavy for you to use! This pole saw does come with a shoulder harness that should help with the weight. Would you please send us an email at Reviews@RYOBItools.com? Let's connect and work this out together. RYOBIOutdoorTools

                  I am very impressed with my 40V Ryobi Pole Saw. So impressed that I plan to go 40V entirely and transition from fossil fuel in the future. It has the power to get the job done - quietly.

                  Better than I expected. The unit is a work horse. I trimmed my elm tree with no problems. Reached the higher branches via a ladder. Ryobi products are great. Super impressed.

                  LEAKED OIL AFTER 3 USES, WARRANTY US A JOKE
                  Pole saw started leaking oil after only three uses. Products made of cheap materials and that's only the start of it. Ryobi products say they come with the warranty but you have to work through a small mom and pop shop in the middle of the ghetto somewhere and takes 3 months to get it repaired and even then they don't even replace the item. No matter how cheap the item is they they skimp on replacement parts which just break again until you're warranty expires. Will never buy Ryobi again. Trash
