 McCulloch 10-Inch Electric Pole Saw #MCP1510 July 23, 2008
Item works as decribed. 10" chain saw is great for light use with or without the pole. It can get a little heavy if used for long periods so take a break once in a while. The main downside is that attaching to or removing the saw from the pole is awkward and time consuming. Overall, well worth the money.
Sturdy Pole Saw - Better than manual sawing! July 20, 2008

I purchased this electric pole/chain saw after once again using my manual pole saw/pruner. Having several mature maples surrounding my house, there are always a few branches which need to be pruned. Well, a pole saw is something which the average homeowner may use once a year [as opposed to those who make their living trimming trees]. Here's the glitch with a manual pole saw [which is remedied with this electric chain saw] -- sawing back and forth for five minutes with your arms overhead makes for some sore shoulders and upper back within the next two days! About this saw: Made by a reliable chain saw company; Easy to use; Doesn't require two-cycle mix and therefore you don't fret over fouled spark plugs; and best yet, does not require that back and forth arm/shoulder motion of my manual saw! With that said, it is still a pole saw -- cutting limbs way over your head with a chain saw on the end of a pole can be tiring too. Even then, I'd recommend this first even to a new homeowner with tall trees. Always consider safety. If you have never operated a chain saw before, get some advice from someone who has -- they are not foolproof! And, while seemingly too simple to say, READ the safety instructions! You just might need the reminder before a limb knocks you in the head! I have a McCulloch chain saw which I have used for years, so have experience with using a chain saw. This is the first pole chain saw I have owned, and I really like it! One word of caution -- When you fill it with oil [bar & chain oil] for the chain, it will leak out unless you store the saw with the blade pointing upward. Looking for a great alternative to the manual pole saw? Look no further! This is a well made product for any homeowner.
Nice Unit July 2, 2008

The saw comes detached from the pole in the same box. I needed to use it as a pole saw so I attached the saw to the pole with the four philips head screws provided. It took me about 10-15 minutes by myself, but it would be much quicker and eaiser if you have a helper.
I filled the chain oiler with oil and pumped it as stated in the directions but it didn't pump any oil out onto the chain. I have a small oil can and just manually put a drop or two on the bar before cutting each branch as desired in the directions. I wanted to use the thing and not wait another week or so for another one.
I trimmed the branches up 17 fir trees in one day to a height of about 12-14 feet high. The pole saw is about 10 feet plus your height is approxamately how high one can reach limbs. I'm an older guy but was able to do this because the pole saw works very fast and most of the branches I was cutting were under 3 1/2 inches in diameter. The motor has adaquate power and did not slow down even on the larger branches I cut.
I would not recommend using the saw separatly from the pole as it lacks safty features of the gas powered ones. So I just shortened the poles length to its shortest setting and cut the downed limbs that way.
I really like this unit and would recommened it to anyone. For the price it is hard to beat.
It may require a long extenion cord to reach your trees but like most electric tools, it requires no preperation before storage and it will be ready when you are for the next use.
