The Makita worked great a few weekends trimming roads, tree stand locations and shooting lanes paired with a wireless sawzall and stihl gas pole saw. I was happy/surprised at what it could do. We also cut some firewood off of some downed oak tops that have been drying over the last year.


I like that this one utilizes two 18v batteries so you can use them with the other 18v tools. Much better than only having one or two 40v lying around and not using often. Will check this out when I need to upgrade my cheap Ryobi's!

Thanks

I recently bought the Milwaukee cordless pole saw since I use other Milwaukee tools at work. It has really surprised me. No problem on 8" oak. Maybe a little slower than a gas powered Stihl, but no choke, premix, pull cords, ethanol, etc. It is basically a powerhead which accepts other attachments. Acme Tool had a promo where you got an extra attachment for free, so I got 2 saws and a powerhead.

The WORX 2-in-1 pole saw/chain saw is not as heavy duty as some spoken of here but is a great machine. Ten inch saw blade that will handle most of the work that I need to do around the house and farm. Add the 10 pole and it really become a fine piece of equipment. Wish that had it in their 40V system but the 20V works very well and cost is not bad at all.

Now I am leaning towards the cordless pole saw.

It would be much easier to get under shrubs and bushes (reduce CHIGGER bites).

Make sure they dont forget to include your free tampons and pantie liners, that's a bonus they stiff you on with those types of orders.


funny. I have been thinking the same thing on this thread. they make a thing called a bow saw if an axe or hatchet is too heavy for you. my 4'11'' grandmother would swing a kaiserblade and an axe when she was I her 70's so I guess I have a different perspective. But she also was more of a woodsman who never would have sat in a shooting house.

I bought a kobalt 48v pole saw this spring. I keep it in my golf cart most of the time and use it a lot, used it this morning.
It impresses me every time I use it and I've never run the battery down on it. It lasts longer than I do when I use it.
I haven't cranked my stihl chainsaw since I bought the pole saw. I cut a 8" oak limb that had fallen on my son's work van the other day, went through it like butter. If the weather ever cools off maybe ill use it long enough to run the battery down, but I have my doubts, its pretty badazz

Some more documentation to stir the pot for TC. Makita makes some with larger bar than what is shown I believe.

I'm going to buy a Stihl battery one at some point. I used one for a couple hours. It impressed me. If I was cutting the bigger stuff i'd use gas. But I have 4 or 5 of them.

I think the proper comparison is that your daddy built muscle cars his whole life but you see the benefits of having a Prius. My comment was tongue and cheek, but if living in the south has taught me anything is a certain group of gentleman will avoid manual labor at all costs and some like to look pretty while using new equipment.

I have used a cordless sawzall for that kind of thing. Maybe not as capable on bigger stuff as a chainsaw, but probably cheaper and would get used around the house more for other things.

I second the harbor freight saw that is a workaholic. thing is a awesome and ive had it over a year now with no issues. Trimmed all my ducking limbs out of the way so i wouldnt be smacked while cutting grass. my yard is over 5 acres of mixed pines, oaks and cedar trees. Ive spent hours on hours on this thing without issue up at the hunting camp trimming roads, shooting lanes, trails and around shooting houses and edges of food plots. Paid less than $200 for it. far as i see it instead of buying a $600 gas powered one im gonna run this cheapo till it dies then go get another one.

This is almost as bad as the predictable gear tractor vs hydrostat, and you need a 50 HP plus tractor or you must be a puzzy crowd.

I have a really nice Dolmar gas saw, but if cordless as good as these today had been available, that's what I would have bought.

I also use cordless drills instead of a brace and bit, and circular saws instead of handsaws where appropriate. Some of my circular saws are cordless also. Recently finished a project where I made about 60 cuts in 2x4 and 2x6 lumber before I had to change the battery on my 6-1/2" Ryobi cordless circular saw. Hell of a lot more handy than dragging a 12 gauge extension cord 100+ feet to run a corded saw.


Edited to add - If somebody wants a smoking deal on a Dolmar PS510 with about 15 hours on it, let me know.

wish it was the 6400. lol I need something that will handle a 24 inch bar. But seriously, I do. I get the electric stuff can be handy, but can't we have some fun.

Thatโ€™s a mans saw you got there! Some of them might want their saw to fit inside their purse!
