One year ago, I purchased the Black & Decker NPP2018 cordless pole saw. One year later, IT DIDN'T WORK!, even after the battery was charged for more than 24 hours. I only used it ONE time last year. So I bought a Poulan 810 EPT. I used the Poulan for the first time today, and it was a great pole saw. The corded electric saw is far more superior to the cordless B&D, when the cordless did work. The saw is much faster, and the speed was constant. The only problem I have with the Poulan, is it doesn't come with a chain cover.

A fairly effective device, though it hasn't nearly the reach that I had hoped. And its weight distribution is such that it can rapidly wear you out. After just a couple hours of work it became disfunctional, and has now been in the shop for two weeks waiting for a part.

I needed to trim some branches away from the wires. Also I want to trim back a tree to keep the roots from getting into my sewer pipe and costing me the $1500 it cost to dig that up and fix it. I talked to some young people into climbing up the tree with a ladder and triming it with whatever we could find. They said they would do it sometime, but the job never seemed to get done. Then I bought the Poulan Pole Saw because Poulan has alway had a very good reputation, even 30 years ago. As it turned out the rig was a little heavy for me. Still the very next person I talked to, I handed them the saw and zip, zip it was done. They were done a lot quicker then if we had stood around and talked about it. Also, he did not even charge me anything. He just went to brag to his girl friend about trimming the tree and she was impressed so everyone was happy. Next time a young person shows up I will hand him the Poulan and let them do some more trimming on other trees. It is very quick and easy. In fact they think it is fun, they like to use the saw. It is amazing how fast and easy this saw is if you have the strength to use it.
