When one needs to cut down a tree limb or chop up some firewood, a chainsaw is often employed. Chainsaws are the best tool for cutting wood because they are designed for exactly that purpose. Chainsaws are powerful tools that should not be handled lightly. Gasoline powered chainsaws are among the most powerful of the tools, but most people don't require this level of power. For most consumers, a lighter, easier to use chainsaw is often best. Electric chainsaws fit this description to the tee. For trimming branches high up in the air, people often choose a specific type of electric chainsaw called the pole saw. Pole saws have an electric chainsaw on one end of a long pole, allowing users to trim trees while planted firmly on the ground.
Black and Decker, a well known manufacturer of power tools, makes a consumer-level electric pole saw. This product has the added advantage of being completely wireless, using a rechargeable battery pack for power. Users can walk to and from the worksite without dragging along an extension cord. The saw blade is attached to an adjustable pole that can reach heights of up to 14 feet. The eight inch guide bar can cut through branches up to six inches thick. When fully charged, the tool can cut through 100 1.5 inch thick branches in one sitting.
The pole consists of three sections, allowing it to fold down into a compact shape for easy storage. The electric motor is designed to be unobtrusive, allowing users to see the work surface without the motor's bulk obstructing their sight. Users control the blade using a simple switch on the handle. At only 7.6 pounds, it is incredibly easy to maneuver even at full extension. A storage bag is included to hold all of the accessories like chain guard and oil.
