/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1615440
I have this pole chainsaw and a pole hedge trimmer, running with Makita batteries because that's what I already had.
It's definitely a weaker chainsaw than what you'd get from a proper handheld one, but it still works really well, and the battery longevity is surprisingly good (probably mostly due to intermittent use, as you spend a lot more time positioning and collecting branches than actually cutting). Also definitely far less spooky to use.
As an alternative I'd also recommend a cordless sawzall, you can get 10" blades for wood, with that it's not impossible to cut down trees up to 15", and they're really good for thinner stuff.
