DEWALT20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless Pole Saw (Tool Only-Battery & Charger not included) (DCPS620B)

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Understand what you’re buying! This is extremely lightweight for what it does and does it well! A few things that are not CLEARLY described in the listing, and they ‘fooled’ me too - ‘extendable to 15’ reach’ is a bit deceptive, as the listing most likely expects your comfortable reach is 6’! Understand what I just said, as the pole saw is right at 9’ long! Each section of the pole is about 3’ long! If YOUR reach is 6’, the first attachment makes it 9’, the 2nd makes it 12’, and the third makes it 15’! If you can deal with that, you will LOVE this cordless!!!

Everything I'd hoped and a great value for the price.Before buying, understand that this does not perform like a typical chainsaw; If hooked on a strong pencil-sized branch while running, it will stop the chain and you'll have to release and then re-press the trigger to start again. I suppose this is to avoid overheating the motor or something.That said, I'm cutting some 7' white pine tree branches and it does great so long as you understand the concept of not letting the chain get pinched and jammed. Once you get used to and accept that little quirky inconvenience, you'll want to give this a 5-star rating too. But if the chain jams somehow or you're unfamiliar with basic tree-sawing techniques, I can understand that you might be a bit disappointed,With the nice new sharp chain, and using a gentle touch though it cuts White Pine trees like cutting butter. The battery life with both a little 2AH battery pack is limited, but still amazing! A 6 AH size battery is more practical for bigger pruning.Glad I bought this along with 2 spare chains.Update March 2, 2022-I thought I was happy with this little polesaw, but when I tried cutting an 18" diameter Eastern White Pine, after cutting all around it as deep as I could, it fell with a lumberjack like CRACK and down it went! And I'm in a wheelchair and have arthritis, so you know it's not too hard to use. I've already ruined 2 chains from getting them pinched. So long as you always have a spare chain or two so it's always sharp, it cuts amazingly well. I think trying to keep using a worn out chain, or even a sharpened one that isn't perfectly sharpened would be false economy.Update April 6, 2022 - Yet again I'm amazed at how well this thing works even on bigger branches than I'd expected to be able to cut with relative ease. However, I AM just cutting Eastern white pine, which are relatively soft, but still...I did run over (and bend) the bar with my tractor, so I had to replace the bent bar, and though I've had the chain jump off the bar and jam the saw twice since then, it now seems OK after tightening the chain.Perhaps the reason is that there's no rocks to hit like when cutting logs on the ground like I used to do with my standard chain saws, also I keep replacing the chain with a new one much more frequently than I used to do with a regular chain saw, which really pays off if you don't want to have to stop and change the battery with a fresh one very often - even my puny 2 AH battery provides very respectable sawing time.I highly recommend this saw, love my DeWalt tools!-One more important thing!! Don't forget to order a gallon of chain oil to keep the little oil tank full all the time.

Great Product

Overall it's a good purchase. The balance is a little off with the head to battery ratio. Also the trigger could be higher up on the shaft. But I only use it a couple times a years so it a good purchase

It is a good system especially if you use other things like flash lights.

Cuts like butter! With the automatic oiler it cuts through branches like nothing. I love the small hook at the end. It helps pull down the stubborn branches that get stuck. Well worth the $$. My time cutting with this saw compared to my last one is like night and day.

This saw worked great on trimming my giant white bird of paradise. The tree was very overgrown with many dead palms. I used this saw for about 4 hours only stopping to clean up debris. The saw never quit on the first battery. I simply couldn't have got the job done without it! We'll see how well it holds up after every use. You must take off the change guard, clean and oil it after every use. It gets a ton of build up behind the chain guard.

The media could not be loaded. Amazing power tools I am pleased and very surprised. I found the saw easy to use and much more convenient than gas I read all the reviews and I know people at issues with the extension. I had the same issues with the extension. It was a bit awkward while kind of dangling in mid-air while you holding the saw in your hand. The tool requires oil which is no surprise and I'm sure necessary and cuts really well. Smooth cuts every now and then you get a little jam but you usually get out of it. The only thing I found in the con department was the extension but that's to be expected. I prefer to get a ladder to cover some of those distances there was a lot to get done but I broke it up into 4 days of cutting. Trying to get ahead of the weather before anything springs up and a job multiplies exponentially. I found the battery life really good as well I got about 30 minutes out of each battery cleaned the tool after each use, it was easy to clean, easy to dismantle and reassemble. At some point the saw stopped working and I contacted the seller and they were more than happy to just replace it. No shipping cost. I'm very pleased with the outcome
