If you need to trim branches high up in a tree, you could use a ladder and a regular chainsaw, but that can be quite dangerous. The better option is to use a powered pole saw. That said, there are many battery pole saws out there, so finding the right one can be a bit of a challenge. In this article, we will be reviewing the best battery pole saws of 2020.
This is a simple yet durable battery-powered pole saw designed for cutting tree limbs at heights.
The Greenworks Pole saw features a 3-piece aluminum pole which can be extended up to 8 feet, allowing you to reach fairly high up in trees. What is surprising is that this pole saw is quite lightweight, as it comes in at just over 8 pounds, so it shouldn’t be too hard to hold for prolonged periods of time.
This pole saw comes with an 8-inch bar and chain, which is ideal for cutting smaller branches and tree limbs. There is an easy chain tension adjustment system included, as well as an automatic bar and chain oiler. The charger and battery are both included, although the battery life here could definitely be better.
If you need a pole saw that has a good battery life and a really long reach, the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Pole Saw is a good option to consider.
What’s quite impressive about this pole saw is that it features a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that can make up to 100 cuts per charge; this is better than most others out there.
The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Pole Saw weighs just over 10 pounds, which is not too heavy, but also not the lightest around. What is really cool is that this pole saw allows you to cut branches up to 14 feet above you, thanks to the dual extension poles.
This tool comes with an 8-inch cutting bar that can easily cut branches with diameters of up to 6 inches, and the 20 volt motor allows the chain to spin at 375 RPM.
If you need a high-quality pole saw with an amazing battery life and lots of power, the CRAFTSMAN V20 Pole Saw is definitely worth checking out.
The CRAFTSMAN V20 Pole Saw comes with a 4.0 Ah battery. It allows this saw to make hundreds of cuts on a single charge.
This pole saw is quite versatile because the main pole extends, and it comes with an additional attachment pole for a total reach of 14 feet.
What stands out is the angled blade design which allows for great accuracy and maneuverability. Something else that helps with both maneuverability and comfort is the soft grip on the handle. Keep in mind that this saw comes with a 3-year warranty.
This pole saw is the shorter and less powerful version of the other Greenworks pole saw which we reviewed. It’s got the same features, just a bit smaller, also with a lower price tag.
The Greenworks 8.3′ 24V Cordless Pole Saw, as you can tell by the name of it, is a total of 8.3 feet long, which provides a decent reach for low-hanging branches. The 24V motor isn’t the strongest around, but it’s more than good enough to make some small and simple cuts.
This model comes with an 8-inch bar and chain which can cut through branches up to 6 inches in diameter. As with the previous Greenworks model, this one also comes with an easy tension adjustment system as well as an automatic bar oiler.
The 2 Ah battery pack is pretty decent, although its runtime on a single charge could be a bit better, and yes, the charger is included.
This is another tool from Greenworks, and this pole saw is the most powerful of all 3 from this brand name we have looked at so far, and might actually be the most powerful on the list today.
While this isn’t the cheapest pole saw around, it is a very powerful option to consider, and it’s thanks to the 80 volt brushless motor that powers it. Brushless motors are great because they have plenty of torque and power, they are quieter, and they have longer lifespans.
As with the other pole saws from Greenworks, this model also comes with an easy chain tension adjustment system as well as an automatic bar oiler.
A big difference is that whereas the other Greenworks pole saws came with 8 inch bars, this one has a 10 inch bar, which means that it’s ideal for fairly large tree limbs. However, what needs to be said is that it still uses the same 2 Ah battery, which is not great for a strong motor such as this one.
The most important factors you want to look for are pole length, power, battery life, durability, and bar length. If you keep all of these factors in mind, you should have no problems finding the best pole saw for your needs.
