nearly all factory blemished (ie new), nearly all ryobi.

the chainsaws, pole saw and $17 inflator would be the standouts for me.

of course, works much better if you're near one of their stores, expensive slooow shipping blah blah.

I was looking at the pole saw too. Anyone have it that can weigh in?

Regarding shipping, I bought the Rigid Miter Saw Stand when it was on sale at the beginning of the month, and it took 11 days from when I ordered to delivery. Certainly not prime speed but also not the end of the world all things considered

I got the 18v pole saw from a previous deal and was impressed. I've had it for about three years and has definitely made trimming trees easier. I can only imagine 40v would be that much better.

could be top-heavy. if you have the battery you likely have the trimmer and might want to go with a pole saw attachment.

I got the pole saw last year, but it is still in the box.
Regarding shipping, my last order placed on 6/19 is still on the way but should be delivered today.

I bought the 40v pole saw a couple of sales back and used it for one big job so far - which was about 3-4 hours of use on all low branches of 4 large trees.
My impressions after that are that this saw is much better than the corded Wen I used previously. Granted, that one differs a bit in that it's an 8" vs. 10", and telescoping extendable vs. collapsible/extendable.

40v Ryobi PROs:
  • I used a 6ah battery (from my Ryobi 40v mower) and never had to change the battery during use.
  • Very long reach with all pole attachments installed.
  • 10" bar is much preferred to 8" bar - you can really feel that extra 2".
  • Balance of weight of battery vs. saw head was pretty good.
  • No oil leaks ... so far. Even during transit with oil still in the tank.
  • Detaching all pole parts breaks the saw down into roughly 24" long pieces (that's a guess, I don't have the saw with me now to measure). But that was great for transportation in an SUV trunk.

40v Ryobi CONs:
  • I wish the handle/throttle button area was a little higher on the pole for better reach - I felt like my lower hand had to stay much lower than I wanted it to especially when extending high on a ladder.
  • I didn't really use the attached loop handle much. Could just have been I had it installed too low, but you can detach it and/or move it up to the next extension pole if you want to.
  • Fully extended, I felt there was quite a bit of flex to the overall saw due to having so many extension attachment points (comparing it to the stiffer, telescoping version I used to use).

Looks like they increased their shipping again - it's now $14.99. Can't really blame them though because carriers have been increasing rates as well.

The 40V HP chainsaw deal is almost the same as the one posted a few weeks ago, only $5 higher. I bought it then and used it once so far on a branch (~4" diameter) and it cut really well. Don't know how it compares to gas but it was fast and smooth for that job.

Now looking at the pole saw. It's $169 at HD, so even with shipping, it's still >50% off.

it's ok, but I wish it was more powerful and wound up buying a 40v blower to use on the leaves this 18v cannot handle

if i did it again i'd just buy a more powerful 40v from the jump
