Black and Decker NPP2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Chain Saw, 8-Inch Bar at Tool Realm

Prune dead branches 14 feet above head level with Black and Decker's Cordless 18-volt Pole Pruning Saw and never set up a ladder again. An eight-inch cutting bar and chain cuts branches six inches in diameter with out overexertion. A center extension slides out to reach the high branches and slides back in for lower cuts. For less downtime and more productivity, the 18-volt Nicad battery has enough runtime and power to cut one hundred 1-1/2-inch branches on a single charge. A 3-section design folds down for compact storage in the included storage bag. An extremely user-friendly tool, this saw's motor is positioned in-line with the pole so that it fits between branches easily and does not obstruct visibility. And, weighing only 7.6 pounds, this pruning saw is easy to handle as well. Not only does it reach high branches easily, it actually cuts them, too. The saw comes with battery, charger, storage bag, blade guard, oil bottle, and wrench. Black and Decker covers the pruning saw with a 30-day, no-risk, satisfaction guarantee as well as a full two-year warranty. --Brian Olson

Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought this because a professional arborist wanted $300 to prune the tree in front of the house. My job ain't as pretty, but I got it done. The saw works great on large branches. Not so much so on smaller branches that flex so it can't get a bite and ends up leaving splintered ends. For the cleanest job you'd want to use a pole trimmer on the small stuff. I'm hoping the leaves will just grow back and cover my imperfections.
