Battery Powered Pole Saw Review | Ryobi 40v Tools

- Today we're going to do a Ryobi battery powered pole saw review. I am really impressed with their 40v system and decided to add this 10" pole saw to my collection. This cordless pole saw option requires no gas, no cords and no maintenance. I don't know about you but I have had enough of small gas powered tools that are difficult to start when they're needed. For this reason I bought the cordless line trimmer last year and loved the design, power and battery performance. Today we'll give to pole saw a try and find out if it has what it takes to get the job done on one charge. Come along with me for ten minutes and I will give you a full unbiassed review of this tool. Does is suck? I hope not but let's find out together.

Getting my first pole saw today, and your review helped me decide to get this Ryobi, so THANK YOU!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Bought mine for use here in sunny Florida. Palm trees are the game here. Great! Tool, does exactly as described. Salute! Go! Blue!
Awesome.. I love mine as well. Will be cutting some trails on another property here pretty soon. Salute!
Thanks for the great review and I for one appreciate your effort and transparency in your complete feelings of the use of this tool. I am loving your videos. For a newbie you have some very good quality and style of videos. I like them!
As a new creator I love hearing when people enjoy or find my videos helpful. Much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing everything I need to know. Looks like we made a good choice. Can't wait to give it a try.
My pleasure.. Hope the tool works out well for you..
Thanks for mentioning the bar & chain oil. I was about to send away for one of these tools, so now I know to have them include some of that. Looks like a great tool, by the way. Already have their 40V pole hedge trimmer and have been happy with that.
Glad to help
I bought this same product this weekend and thanks for the review.
That’s great Stephen. It works really well. Thanks for watching.
I bought this tool because of your review, thank you.
That's awesome.. I just used my yesterday. Works great.
Great east to follow video and review! Excellent job👍
Thank you!
I got a GreenWorks 80v battery operated pole saw and I gotta say, for work around my yard it just does a fantastic job. I have a big yard and the previous owner let their yard just get nasty (not their fault, they are in their 90's) so I have a lot of vines, growth, and etc. The battery lasts as long as I feel like going for, I can't cut logs with it but DUH.. but I still do it anyway. Really happy with it and I'm hoping yard work keeps using batteries because I think we're finally at the point where they are up to the job. Glad to see you enjoyed it, surprised the 40v was able to last for your entire job
I have always used gas powered tools but a destroyed some of them with the gas you get these days. I was shocked at how well the battery last for these tools. I just blew all the sand off my driveway today with the battery powered leaf blower. Thanks for dropping by..
Great review on this tool! FYI your trees will heal better if you limb the branch off before you do the cut near the base. Can't recall what that process is called, the instructions did mention it though.
Thanks for the review. We hav3 a Rybinsk string trimmer too. I know I’d like to get a battery powered pole saw for a lot of our low hanging tree limbs out in the backyard. I also like that idea you have there for the chain oil dispensing. Now just checking on deals I suppose.
Glad I could help.. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Love this! Very informative.
Thank you!
Thank you for,the demo. My electric Sunjoe just crapped out after 15 years. I have half dozen Ryobi battery tools and like the brand. Going to Home Depot to buy one tomorrow. Glad it has a 40v battery
I like the system. I now have the weed eater, pole saw, leaf blower and a brush cutter attachment. They are work great.
Great review, just bought this; thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
You can fix your handle issue by moving it up to the top of the next section. Works especially well for me because occasionally I also add a 3rd section for a bit of extra length, and that position provides for far better leverage.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try that next time I use it. 👍👍
thank you for the great video. I recently purchased one
I just used mine today. We just had a heavy wet snow storm and trees and branches are broken everywhere. Three days without power.
I got this unit yesterday, used it for 1-1/2 hours today, cut tons of high 16-foot limbs with no issues, and still had 1 bar of battery left. This is a game changer and for $225 is a bargain. The battery life outlasted me by far. It will bog down when the chain gets pinched with wood fibers so be mindful that it's not a battery issue but a keep clean and spin the chain backwards to dislodge the stringy twigs. It does use a lot of oil but just use 10-w40 cheap oil and it works just fine.
I like mine as well and I've used it a ton..
Great review! Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Nice to know it has great power. Got it new for $30 mainly for the battery
Great video, I just bought thus saw to trim my queen palms.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!👍
works good enough for what I need..ez to do the chain replacement..love it
I’m happy with mine as well. I worked it pretty hard.
It’s okay used it
For
The first one did well but the chain came loose and the adjuster screw is hard to get to but got used to it now it’s well worth it
Great review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Very good information
Thank you!
Great video thank you so much😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
Actually snagged one of these today at a pawnshop for 75 bucks tax included. Everything in the box except the instructions. Even came with about a pint of chain oil. Gave it a quick test and it does indeed cut really well. Did have to tighten the chain a tad, but even with no instructions, easy enough to figure out.
That's a great deal. Keep an eye on the chain oil level because it runs out pretty quickly. I add oil three times on per fully charged battery. It's a very useful tool. Good luck.
@@BackyardMaine Thanks for the tip!
@@alisterbh You are welcome.
@@alisterbh You're welcome!
I just purchased one, Factory Blemished, for $44.99. No battery, but that's okay cuz I have several batteries already. Looking forward to putting it to use. Amazing how we are easily entertained by a tool. LOL. 🤣🤣🤣
I have the 18V Ryobi pole saw - works great.
That’s great.
I have this tool. I really wish you could attach the handle section with the chain section without putting a pole between them. It would make it handier for lower sections in close quarters.
First time I used this tool I was very pleased with the performance. I hung it in my shed with the little hook at the base of the saw housing. I didn't have to use it again for a few weeks. When I needed it again the chain oil had leaked out and soaked the foam rubber on the extention handle. Any ideas how to keep this from happening or repairing it.
I have had several chainsaws over the years (just three now) but the oil leaking out is a common problem. For that reason I always store them flat on the ground so that if they do leak nothing gets damaged. The only true fix I have found is to clean them well before storage. I'm no expert but that's what I do.
I'm glad I stumbled on this video. Just bought me one, should be here tomorrow. It's good to see reviews where the tool is actually being used. LOL. I am so tired of sifting through so called "reviews" when all they do is take it out of the box and never actually show the tool in use. "Unboxing" videos, in my opinion, are completely useless and pointless, but to each their own I guess. Anyway, thank you for showing the tool in action.
My pleasure.. I think the tool works great. The only issue is the chain oil container is small so be sure to keep that topped off. The battery will last through two or three oil fills. Also the chain gets loose easily but its really easy to tighten.
@@BackyardMaine I actually purchased the electric corded on. I got a heck of a deal on it, brand new in the box, $44.99. I won't be using it every day, so the cord is not that big of a deal. I couldn't pass it up for the price. A few days ago, they were having Black Friday Spring Sales . . . Given that It has a "factory blemish" and the sale, that's why it was so cheap. But thank you for the tips, I will be sure to keep my on those things. It's really nice to have someone like you pass along your findings and experience with using the tool. Thank you
I've got the same saw, but I must offer the one critique that the cuts are a bit ragged.
As you see in this video, if you don't do the three cut method, the weight of the limb will tear away at the bark just before the limb falls at the end of the cut.
I use the three cut method, and for some ragged cuts, I come back with my pole/arbor saw and clean them up, now that I'm cutting back a 1" stump, rather than a 10' (heavy) branch.
Thanks for the video
My pleasure.
Nice video.
Thank you!
I got the 18v one last week and hell i think i cut a tree that was like 6-7 inches thick to pieces with it 😅😂
Cut down like 4 o 5 trees with it last friday with no problems... Oil doesnt leak at all and i think i refilled it like 2-3 times.
I know its for pruning small branches but im getting rid of some pretty thick trees with it.
I had trouble disassembling and reassembling extended bars. Male electrical plug came part way out of the tube. Couldn't align it properly.
Really. I haven't had any issues with mine at all. You just need to line up the little slots.
I have some Holly Trees that are about 12' tall and need to be pruned from growing taller. Is this overkill to trim simple Holly type (smaller 1/4" dia.) branches? I think this looks like it would work fine, but thought to reach out.
I just realized they also have a pole hedge trimmer, well how about that!
I think the hedge trimmer would be better for that job. 1/4” is pretty small and I think the saw would shred them more than cut through clean.
can You help me find the battery for that ! just wana make sure which one to buy ! please ! I have the pole saw but Im confused on which battery is the correct one to buy ! thanks for the video
Is it a 18v or a 40v?
SUBSCRIBED!!!!!
Welcome my friend.
Can the power head be used for other Ryobi tool attachments like edger or hedge trimmer?
I don't think so. I also have the Ryobi weed eater which is part of their expanded system. If you buy that system you can get a number of other attachments for the powerhead like a brush cutter, edger, pole saw, blower etc..
Expand-It not expanded in my last reply. (sorry auto correct)
Sad part is that in Australia they get the maintenance free oil free version and we do not…
Without oil the chain and bar won't last very long. I just got a mili handheld saw with no oil but I guess you still need to manually apply it to the chain. I plan on making that video tomorrow. Stay tuned.
I used it once it worked great. The second time i went to use it the battery would not take a charge. The charger is blinking Red and green.
Wow, that's not good.. Is it under warranty? I haven't has any issues with any of my 40v batteries and I have three of them now.
Just got mine. Waiting on battery to charge
It's a great tool.
New chains stretch at first
Lol I was only here on how to put on the strap it comes with lol everything else is common sense!!
Putting the strap on is also common sense
Garbage two uses and it started spitting oil took it back…
I’ve used mine about 25 times with no issues yet other than the chain comes loose easily. It wasn’t a sponsorship by the way. I just like the product. Sorry you had issues though.
Everyone hate on ryobi so much it’s annoying. I get it, it’s not Milwaukee or dewalt or whatever but let me tell you. I’ve had 2 ryobi drills in the last almost 2 years and the first one I have still works. The 1 speed started clicking and speed 2 still worked fine but about 3 years ago I upgraded. The green ryobi drill replaced the blue and yellow one from 2007. I dropped the 2007 drill off a 6 foot ladder on concrete multiple times. It’s an 18v it out last my dewalt 14v I had at the time. Anyways I digress, I bought an electric ryobi expand it weed whacker 40v, a couple weeks back, because after having a 2 yr old 4 stroke weed eater I can’t get started. Pull and pul for 15 mins and nothing. Anyways, the ryobi whacker works fine for my front and back yard and edging. I’m looking at getting this pole saw just to trim small branches and honestly I think it looks pretty damn good.
