Milwaukee telescoping polesaw

[Jehinten]

I just picked this thing up, my first milwaukee power tool, and first impressions are great. I've only used it on one job and I believe it cuts faster than my stihl ht131 did.

I originally planned to pick up the quick connect version of the saw and I found a video showing the performance difference of the two which sold me on the telescoping saw.

This video is my 2nd test cut, the bar is fully buried and it powers right through.

My only complaint (which I could have done a better job of preventing) is that the body got very scratched/scuffed from sliding it across shingles on the roof I was clearing.

Good to see the comments on the polesaw - anyone have any feedback on their telescoping pole pruner?

Received it last week. We like it already. It’s very powerful and will cut up to 2” limbs.

The only con so far is that the blade is not a good quality steel. Like other reviews have stated, it can get knicked easier than other commercial grade pole pruners (manual not battery powered).

Despite the issue with the blade, this tool is a game changer. If you do a lot of ornamental tree trimming/shaping and vista trimming then you’ll like it. Those cuts that are too big for a pole pruner on a floppy limb that is difficult with a pole saw are perfect for this tool.
