DeWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Pole Saw w/ 4Ah 20V Battery & Charger Expired

Ok several points. I have both.

- I have beat the tar out of this chainsaw, and overall, it's -great-. Only 'issue' is it will auto-stop if it thinks it's stuck, but I keep using it for jobs that are probably too big for it, because it's so much more convenient.

- For your application, you probably want the hedge trimmer. The head articulates which will help with such a tall hedge. Note that the hedge trimmer is not light. I do a few big hedges with it (8' tall, 15' across) and when I'm done it reminds me of why I lift. Might want to do a piece at a time.

- The sides of the hedge trimmer blades are sharp. Actually will go through you clothes and cut you sharp. It comes in a sleeve for a reason; you were warned! However that means on branches to big to cut, you can lay the side of the blade on them and saw through stuff. It's no chainsaw, but I'll do branches as big as 2" that way, and that means not needing to get another tool.

- Being electric, these guys are grab and go. No gas, typically no oil. Once you get rid of the 'overhead', a quick job is 5 mins. A lot of things get done that previously would have been too much time.

- Ok in the 'at your own risk' dept. The extension from the hedge trimmer is the same as the saw. So you -can- add it. However it's clearly at a weight limit and I've only done that a couple times to reach something wayyy up there. It really only works straight up .. they're not strong enough to hold the saw sideways. And this also is not a task for lightweights.

- It's decently sturdy. Don't worry about the saw falling on your head, worry about the branches. Wear a hat! The sawdust falls on YOU.

- My hedge trimmer started making funny sounds about 4 months in. Something loose in the motor sounds like. Been working for years since, but that is a disappointment.

- The saw's blade and tension system aren't as good as an actual Stihl saw. But it seems like it loosens up less frequently so you don't have to redo it as much.

Don't know about this deal, but ++++ for the saw.

I have this pole saw and it's a beast. Extremely well built and the pole extension is great for getting limbs without a ladder. I've helped many neighbors with this. Bought mine in June '22 for $139 (tool only). I use the 5ah battery and it goes for days.

FYI....eBay link is for certified refurb in "like new" condition.
