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.

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.

Understood. I have a decent amount of large items to take out. I am waiting in the weeds for a lopper deal. Did you find anything? Prefer the extending one...
Directtools has the extendable lopper for $115 or $130 with 2Ah battery, $15 shipping.
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.

I've had the DeWalt pole saw for 2 years now and have been very happy with it. Even used it yesterday to cut some branches next to the house. It cuts through good size branches with no hesitation. And the battery lasts a good while. Biggest peeve with it is if you don't empty the oil reservoir, it will leak oil while being stored no matter which direction it's facing. For reference, I bought it on sale with the battery from Acme tool for $170.
Thanks, I'll see if it helps. I did figure out how to lay the DeWalt chainsaw without leaking but had no luck with the pole saw. Or the Husqvarna. You think that at least make a pour spout to empty the reservoirs when you're done instead of just making a mess.
How often have you oiled and where? Manual indicates two oil points under black cover. I was going to just manually oil the chain periodically.
Just tried it out on a tree. It was great! Done in 20 minutes - and didnt break a sweat! No cord is amazing.
