Best Pole Saws of 2025

"As a 62-year-old woman, I found this saw to be exceptionally effective for cutting branches from our large maple and pine oak trees. I’ve used it both with and without the pole, and it has worked perfectly each time. While it can get a bit heavy when angled too much, using it almost straight up makes it easy to operate. I’m hopeful it will continue to perform well next year!"

"I appreciate this product because it’s somewhat easy to use. At 5'3", I didn’t feel entirely comfortable using it on a ladder with the extension, but I managed to remove the chainsaw and trim accessible branches. My son, who had never used a chainsaw before, also finished the job easily. The only minor issue was that the chain got stuck a few times, but it was easily fixed and the saw still works great!"

"This tool has exceeded my expectations! After a quick assembly, I tackled trimming high branches on a mesquite tree. With both poles extended, I reached around 12-13 feet off the ground and cut through tough branches up to 5 inches in diameter. While it does require some upper body strength, the cuts were swift and effortless. I even removed a dying palo verde tree without any trouble, cutting through multiple trunks swiftly. Overall, if you're looking for a cordless chainsaw, don't hesitate to buy this one!"

"I had a fantastic experience with CPO! My package arrived open, and the battery was missing. I contacted them, and they responded super fast, resolving the issue right away. I'm extremely happy! The Dewalt tool is amazing; I trimmed about 35 trees effortlessly. Just remember to add bar and chain oil to your list."

"As a homeowner, this tool has become my second favorite! I had a lot of tree branches to cut, and it handled them easily. I managed to cut over 1,000 lbs of branches in just a few hours, only needing one recharge. I did adjust the chain slightly, which is common, but I’m thrilled with the savings compared to hiring a professional!"

"This Dewalt tool is outstanding! The 20V battery lasts long enough that I ran out of arm strength before it died. I trimmed dead wood from my honey locust tree in under 20 minutes. I love that the batteries are interchangeable with my other Dewalt tools, making it super convenient!"

"I'm thrilled with my purchase! I had a dead snag hanging over my driveway for years, and after struggling with winches and ladders, I finally used this pole saw. It exceeded my expectations! The blade is incredibly sharp, and I love the stops on the ends that help with cuts in tricky spots. Plus, everything fits neatly into the duffel bag, making storage a breeze. Just a few tips: make sure to screw the sections tightly and check connections regularly. It’s not commercial grade, but for a homeowner like me, it’s the best $80 I’ve ever spent."

"As a former professional arborist, I was initially skeptical about this pole saw. However, without all my old gear, I decided to give it a shot for trimming my gum tree. This tool has proven to be a real time-saver! When fully extended, it can be a bit heavy, but if you're in decent shape, it's manageable. I found that lifting and letting it fall helps with control. The quality surprised me, and the saw is sharp and efficient. I highly recommend it, especially for occasional use!"

"I really appreciate the storage solution that comes with this pole saw. While the blade could be sharper, it’s built well and fairly lightweight for yard work. The assembly process can be a bit time-consuming, and it does bend if too many poles are added, but overall, it works great for light pruning tasks."

"I was initially hesitant to buy this saw, but it has worked exceptionally well for me. One of the main reasons I chose it was that it came complete with a battery and charger. I estimate I've cut about 200 branches over 6 inches and maybe 500 smaller ones. I've tackled a few that were 10-12 inches round by cutting from both sides. The only drawback is that the chain wears out quickly—I'm already on my third chain. I got it on sale for $130, making it a great value for my needs."

"This pole saw is excellent. I had never used a chainsaw before, but it’s very user-friendly and cuts through small branches and trees effortlessly. It’s a fantastic tool for anyone, regardless of experience."

"Owning this saw for about six months has been a great experience. I already have two other pole saws, but this has become my go-to tool. I love that the blade stays tight without constant adjustments, and it holds its sharpness well. The battery life is impressive, and it's very light compared to others. I even believe my 5'-1" wife could handle it easily! I just add a bit of oil before starting, and it performs wonderfully. I’d highly recommend this saw, especially for fellow V20 tool users."

"I bought this to cut limbs I couldn't reach. Great value and works very well. Easy to operate and has the power needed to cut branches up to 5 inches. Very durable and has a sling for convenience."

"This pole saw far exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent, and I appreciate the handle design. The oil cap leaks a bit, but it's not a major issue. This tool is perfect for my occasional use—definitely A+ for me!"

"I needed to trim some shrubbery behind my shed and couldn’t use gas equipment due to my pacemaker. This pole saw was brilliant and cut through like butter! Easy to use and really effective!"

"I would buy this again but probably won’t have to. After a hurricane, I used it to clean up branches and was amazed at its cutting ability, especially shaping palm trees. It's built solid, only a bit top-heavy when fully extended, but easy to break down. As someone older, I appreciate how easy it is to plug in and get to work compared to gas machines. I've used it 10 times with no issues and found it easy to clean—definitely a tough tool I highly recommend."

"When looking for a pole saw, I chose this one for its 10-foot reach and lighter cutting head. After a big pine fell near my lake shore, I spent three hours on a manual saw with little progress. This electric pole saw finished the job in no time, cutting through 8-inch limbs effortlessly. It's sturdy, easy to handle, and exceeded my expectations for a consumer-grade tool. I love being able to plug it in and get straight to work without the hassle of gas or batteries."

"I was really impressed with the quality of this pole saw. I managed to cut down a sizable tree by working from the top down into manageable pieces. The blade cuts well and remains sharp even after extensive use. It does require two hands, and although it’s a bit heavy with the motor at the top, it’s nothing excessive. The self-oiling system worked perfectly, ensuring the chain was well-lubricated throughout my cutting. Overall, I feel it's a great investment for tree maintenance."

"I had considered a pole saw, but all the gasoline ones are super heavy for me, and I had bad experiences with rechargeable batteries in the past. Then I tried this battery pole saw, and it was just what I needed! It's lightweight, and the aluminum pole doesn't bend. I can easily reach ten feet and cut limbs without getting stuck in thorny brush. The battery lasts a long time, which amazed me!"

"I decided to choose Greenworks for my pole saw because I already have their lawn equipment. After using it multiple times, I found it quite easy to handle. The blade is powerful and can cut larger limbs than I expected. I don't know how I managed without it before!"

"I have been pleasantly surprised with my purchase. It's light and fairly easy to maneuver, though using the extension requires more strength. The battery life is incredible; I worked on 1 ½ to 4-inch limbs for over an hour, and it was still half charged. Customer service was outstanding, and I found out the batteries have a three-year warranty!"

"I was initially hesitant, but I'm really impressed with this saw. It cuts through my 4-inch limbs effortlessly."

"After using this saw for large brush and limbs, I found it performed well. The tool arrived in a nice case, and I appreciated the included accessories."

"This saw is perfect for my occasional use needs. It’s easy to use and cuts well once you get the hang of positioning it."

"I initially had low expectations for this tool, but it exceeded my surprise. The 14' reach was perfect for my needs, and it cut through branches with ease. I was particularly impressed with the battery life; I managed to complete several cuts without losing charge."

"I appreciated being able to purchase the tool bare, without the battery, which saved me some money. The instructions were straightforward, and assembling the saw was relatively simple, although I had to be careful with the plastic connections."

"Overall, I’m really pleased with this pole saw. It's inexpensive and delivers great performance, making it a fantastic addition to my tool collection. I look forward to using it for pruning during the summer!"

"This tool was easy to assemble and operate. It comes with clear instructions and offers a unique feature of converting between a pole saw and a small chainsaw. I appreciate its flexibility for various tasks like pruning and trimming. It's lightweight, making it easy to handle. The battery life is adequate for several hours of intermittent use. Overall, it's a handy tool for light yardwork, and I find it a suitable choice for occasional tree and shrub maintenance."

"I was surprised by the power this had, especially given the battery size. It cut through 3-inch limbs with ease. The extension is nice for reaching out from my tree stand to cut nuisance limbs. Although the battery is small, it provided enough cuts to clear my shooting lanes."

"Installation was a breeze, and the size was perfect for reaching longer branches! I needed to trim some trees touching my house, and it worked really well for that. While I was cutting smaller branches, it performed nicely. I’m pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it!"
