@@nicolerche4853 i still haven't tried it, the battery that came with it last for awhile so I've just stuck with that one its lasted me through some fairly big tree trimming projects no prob
I like the idea in theory but i do have a couple concerns. One is brand and their willingness to stand behind the product in a year or two. Second, the pole to saw connection. I get that it is locked but there is a good bit of stress in that area when you start laying into it. With stress/vibration at electrical connections the potential for failure over time might be a weak point. I guess that depends on how tight the connection is. When fully extended how much flex did you experience on the pole? Was that a small plug in charger on the table? What is the charge rate/time? That seems like a fail in my opinion. They need to step up to a better, faster charger. Now to the good, i really like the concept of a two in one saw. If it proves to hold up then they have a winner on their hands. The cost of buying both, a hand held and a pole saw is at the 500.00 mark or more for the top tier brands. Great video brother, i do appreciate you doing it. Please keep us updated, good or bad.
I understand your concerns but I wouldn't worry too much. No seller stands behind a product after the warranty is over, so as long as it lasts past the warranty period then you have no issues. I don't really see a problem with that. Also, since this pole is Makita battery compatible, you could conceivably attach any other chainsaw to it and it will still work as long as it uses a Makita battery. As far as vibration and such I didn't experience anything out of the ordinary. It has the normal chainsaw vibration. The pole also had no flex. The stronger a person is the better you can control the pole obviously so it will give you better results. To make the chainsaw last you longer I also would not recommend slamming the saw down on a branch when you are cutting. Place it on a branch and begin cutting. This will put less stress on the saw, bar, chain, pole, etc. I'll definitely keep you updated as time goes by how this thing works out.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Hold everything!!! I didn't catch what you said was right there and what was right here🤦...Take two🎬😉
If you wanted extra batteries what batteries are compatible?
I believe that they are Dewalt compatible. If you have a Dewalt battery give it a try and see.
@@ModernDIYProjects thanks I appreciate it
Watch the video. He tells you
do dewalt batteries Work?

Does it come with oil?
How does the strap attach to the pole???
It just has a metal ring that you attach it too.
@@ModernDIYProjects There is no metal ring.
