Today, we’re reviewing and comparing three Greenworks bestseller pole saws. All three are top-of-the-line cordless pole saws, so…
May the best saw win:
Greenworks 8.5′ 40V Cordless Pole Saw
When nature takes its toll, trust the Greenworks pole saw for zipping through overhanging limbs and thin logs.
This pole tree trimmer is equipped with a 3-piece aluminum shaft that allows an extension of 8 ft. This not only helps you gain overhead reach, but also makes it excellent for close quarter cutting and reaching out into areas that are otherwise inaccessible to conventional saws. The extendable pole pivots the saw in a manner that is easy on your muscles.
The Greenworks pole saw features an 8 inch Oregon bar which allows for minimal kickback and does not corrode easily. It weighs only 15.3 lbs, making it a breeze to balance the saw and reach out to high branches. All you have to do is flick the switch, customize the telescopic pole and enjoy effortless sawing at inaccessible spots.
Another customizable feature on the Greenworks saw is the easy-adjust chain tensioning system that allows quick tightening of the chain. This pole tree trimmer comes equipped with an auto-oiler that ensures the bar and chain is fully lubricated when in use. The oil tank is translucent to help you in keeping track of the oil level.
As the name suggests, the Greenworks pole saw is cordless in nature, which implies that this beast knows no boundaries (geographically, at least).
Powered by a 40V lithium battery, the unit allows up to 65 consistent cuts per charge. The cushioned over mold grip makes sure you hand does not tax from holding the saw for too long. The saw is simple to start, easy to handle, and effortless to operate.
The saw is very environment friendly as it does not emit smoke, and muffles most of the noise. This means that your neighbors probably won’t come screaming when you decide to give your yard a trim!
Greenworks 8.5′ 40V Cordless Pole Saw with Hedge Trimmer Attachment
This cordless pole saw is a close imitation of the previous model, save for a few changes.
It comes with an attached hedge trimmer, featuring 20 inch dual action blades. This gives the saw additional length and helps you gain more overhead reach than the baseline model. The hedge trimmer has a multi-position pivoting head which operates at 3 different angles. This helps you direct your cuts with greater precision.
Unfortunately, an added accessory means more weight. At 17.65 lbs, this device is slightly heavier than the one discussed earlier. However, the weight is hardly an inconvenience as the adjustable head makes sure the saw is easy on your muscles.
Apart from this, all other features on this Greenworks chainsaw are the same as the previous unit.
Greenworks PRO 9′ 80V Cordless Pole Saw
Unlike the two models discussed earlier, this cordless pole saw equips a brushless motor which helps it deliver gas equivalent performance in terms of power, and further mutes the saw.
It has a 10 inch Oregon bar and chain, and weighs 20lbs. Hence, it is much heavier than the previous models. Powered by an 80V battery, this unit can last up to 80 cuts per charge, which is a great score if you ask us!
The flip side for this saw, however, is that is does not have an easy-adjust chain tensioning system, so you have to adjust it manually. It also does not come with an adjustable hedge trimmer.
Amazon users claim the saw startled them with unmatched power, long-lasting battery, and plenty of torque.
You can buy this saw with the 2Ah battery included, or with the battery not included.
Which Cordless Pole Saw Should You Go For?
Your choice of chainsaw depends on what you need the saw for.
The baseline model should be your go-to product if you are a homesteader with occasional sawing needs, but it does not fare well if you want to zip through a forest. It has a sturdy make, but it does not exceed expectations.
The Greenworks 8.5′ 40V cordless pole saw with hedge trimmer attachment is perfect if your yard tends to get very unruly. The multi-position head on this saw will help you reach difficult areas and make technical cuts. It stands out from the other two models in terms of precision.
However, if you’re looking for some heavy duty sawing, with extended hours of work, and don’t mind some extra weight, then the Greenworks PRO 80V saw is the saw you need.
Greenwork pole saws give you a good value for money with an excellent sawing experience. Their careful design, great ergonomics, and huge outreach make them perfect for sawing in high or remote places.
