Did "Ryobi Days" get you into the platform?

I recently switched to the 18v line for my yard tools.


I have been wanting the chain saw, and the pole saw... and have been watching for a deal separately. This seems fair for the pair. I wish the saw could just attach to the pole so you only need one saw! Ryobi - you listening? I'm in at this price. I am lazy about pruning and tree maintenance. This will make it a quick grab and go.

Can confirm, the fuse on mine went out and it is a pain to access. Namely that you have to drill out 2 rivets on one of the end connectors and add rivets back when you re-assemble. While mine was apart, I just ran straight wire all the way through the rod and moved the fuse outside of the rod and tucked it inside the motor housing, right before it connects to the motor. I also used a standard 2-prong automotive fuse that I can pull out and replace if it blows again without having to rewire anything.

As far as the power is concerned, I have this one, the 18V with the auto oiler, and the 40V 10" (also has an auto oiler) and while the oiled ones run faster, this one is nearly as good and I don't have to carry oil with me. Plus I can put it inside my truck if it's raining, and it doesn't leak oil everywhere. I use it to chop down some pretty big, old/dry oak and cedar limbs on my ranch. It cuts through everything just fine.
Watched a lot of video tests. Seems ok if you respect its limitations. I did discover there is an inline 'barrel fuse" in the part (rod) that the pole saw it attached to. Seems to be the common problem if these die. Replacing the fuse can be done (soldering required) - but its hard to disassemble. Agree - for light use.
I made a YT video about replacing the fuse, it really is a stupid design, but after I replaced the fuse, the saw has been going strong for over a year since. It is definitely not underpowered. You aren't felling trees with it, it is used for trimming overhead branches. That being said, I have no issues cutting through the entire length of the blade.

Looks like a good deal. I will probably wait for the 40v version of both. 18v is great for all the hand tools but 40 is much better for yard stuff. Also, not a fan of Toolsdirect shipping.

I felt the same way at first.

I went from a 40v Black and Decker string trimmer to the 18v Ryobi string trimmer. Just because of the sheer number of gadgets this line has (and all the crazy deals here!)... for my light use I dont really see any difference between them.. YMMV for sure.

It sounds like for this pole saw, let the tool weight do the work and dont stress it.

Its a matter of what you need (power 18v vs 40v) - and what line you want to get into. I find the 18v line very appealing. No regrets.

this is definitely a splurge unless you 'need' it. I don't have problems with not being brushless, but my use is light enough I could just use one of those loppers/saws they sell everywhere.

Thing I don't like, that chainsaw can get bound up easily if you just saw through some smaller branches/brush. There's a large gap to fill up. Not exactly it's intended use when I stick it into my yard waste bin full of stuff to make it into smaller stuff, but at least it's easy to clean out when you figure it out.

We run two of these 18V pole saws but they have an oiler and this one does not. We're cutting larger limbs 2" to 5" mostly on the farm and it has plenty power for that but it needs to have an oiler especially for what we do, mainly trimming fence lines and and around crop fields.

Any decent chainsaw needs an oiler period.

2 separate tools included in this deal. The pole saw has built in oiler. Chain saw (not attached to pole) does not. I plan on manually oiling both anyways periodically during use... Since the reservoirs seem to always leak on these while in storage.

From what I understand (from video reviews) - the manual for the chain saw says to oil it... despite not having a built in oiler. Strange.

UPDATE: looks like both are oil-less per site.

Ryobi makes two versions of the 18v pole saw, the one in the set is oilless says so in the description and there's no filler cap on top of the powerhead. As far as leakage either drain it before storage or stand it up bar down on something absorbent. I'd hate to say how many hours we have on ours. It's a shame ours doesn't have an adjustable oiler because it oils too fast.

Biggest issue with Ryobi pole saws is the connection joints get floppy and so far haven't found a way tighten them up.

Been running chainsaws for almost 50 years and yes some saws leak and some don't.

Wow. Thanks - didnt notice that! Both are oil-less!? So many versions! I had the same problem when got the Ryobi line trimmer. So many variants of that also. Thanks again.

Are there any other accessories that are compatible with this pole? Say a hedger?

Bought the tool only brand new for $99 a couple years ago and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Things can get dangerous pretty fast though so please be careful y'all! I've taken a few tumbles with it 🤣

Does this take the 4AH batteries that part of the one plus system? I am already invested with a bunch tools with that so this would be good to add

edit: nvm it is right there in the title.

I have not seen one. From what I understand... the manual for these advises you to apply oil. I had planned on not using the reservoir (even if it had one) and manually applying oil anyways just to keep the mess down while storing.

Purchased some Bar oil and a "precision application" bottle to apply periodically while using.

I guess I'll roll the dice. Tree trimmer wanted $1800 so even if this last 1 usage for 3 trees it's going to be worth it's money

I have a Ryobi pole saw and it's great when it works. The chain just will not stay tight and it leaks a lot. I've cut up some good sized tree limbs with it.
