DEWALT 20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless Pole Saw (Tool Only-Battery & Charger not included) (DCPS620B)

Purchased 2 years ago. Used mostly during the spring and summer months. During these two years, we have had zero problems. For a pole chainsaw, its on the lighter side (from others I've used) and is perfect for smaller limbs and branches. Cuts 4" limbs with relative ease. (Rated up to 5" limbs.) My wife and I are in our late 70's and are still able to use it (but we have to rest between limbs.) And yes, my wife uses it. (In fact, it was a gift to her. See asked for it.) One quick fact they don't tell you. Buy a bottle of Dewalt chain saw oil as it comes dry and they don't furnish oil with the saw. (A hex wrench does come with the saw however. It's mounted in a dedicated holder in the chain cover.) This saw is professional quality and give proper care, will last for years. Very satisfied with the purchase. Also consider a good, heavy pair of gloves and eye protection. When sawing, the air fills with wood dust. When I bought the saw, I also bought an extra chain, but after two years of home use, still don't need to change the chain. (Did adjust the original one once to take up slack. (But that's easy-piesy.) Strongly recommended for a cordless, pole chaisaw.

I have multiple DeWalt 20v cordless tool and batteries and have for the most part been very happy with them, so I decided to but their pole saw when I needed one. It is simple to assemble and operate, and with the center pole attachment has good reach. It has also had surprisingly good power and cutting ability. I used it to take down most of the dead Hawthorne tree beside my driveway with no problem on the dead dry wood. Soon after I found one of my neighbors trees had grown over to the point it was damaging my roof and being careful(and experienced) I was able to trim it back off the house to a point it will take a long to be a problem again. After both those projects and others the 5Ah battery still had plenty of charge. There is a downside though, first when the saw is fully assembled the pole is fairly wobbly, but I have read that is common with electric pole saws. The other less than ideal thing with this saw is the weight. I have developed serious health issues this year, and they have left me very weak, with a loss of 60 % of my diaphragm usage and therefore 60% of my lung capacity, and partial paralysis in both arms so the weight is a serious issue, but by pre-planning and improvising supports I have been able to use it fine, and it does work well. The batteries last surprisingly long, and if you have the chain spinning before contacting the wood to be cut, it never bogs down or stalls...at least that is how mine is.

We used to try trimming tree branches with a manual pole saw, but it takes so long to cut through a limb that you’re worn out after just a couple of branches. I thought this Dewalt 20v pole saw would be the answer. Out of the box it took literally a minute or two to be ready, I used a 5.0ah Dewalt battery, and figured that should be good for 15 minutes of cutting, so off I went. After 15 minutes, I had a huge pile of branches to deal with! Way more than I thought I’d wind up with in a short period of time! This saw is way too efficient, and it actually makes trimming branches fun. No change in battery charge after cutting for 15 minutes, still showed 3 lights. Today we did a major clearing of branches, and spent a couple of hours. And once again, wound up with another huge pile of branches that needed to be reduced and burned! The cutting with this saw is the easy part, the tough part is how many branches you can cut in a short period of time. After two hours of cutting the 5.0ah battery still showed 2 lights. Great pole saw, I wonder if it’s possible to buy another extension sections so I can reach some higher branches…hmmmm……

I am a DeWalt fan and have a dozen tools that use the same batteries - which is a good cost of the tools. This pole saw works well, just a few things I'd change; 1) Make the pole a little sturdier, when the extender is attached is wobbles a bit more then expected. 2) The shortest is something like 4 or 5 feet, so it is very difficult to trim small branches one you drop a good size limb from the tree....if the chain saw connected to a short (12 inch?) rod to the handle it would be so much better. 3) Higher cap or seal on the bar oil tank - I have to be sure not to lay it down or some oil drips out 4) Thankful the tool to remove the chain is on the sheath, but it does take time to realign the chain if it comes loose and jams, which can happen when your cutting and a branch twists on the bar during a cut. It does cut well and the battery life is good.

Works very well

Fonctionne à merveille ! Très grande portée pour élaguer les arbres de grande taille et coupe les branches rapidement

très bien.

Works great, bought as a gift for husband

Avec son extension cel facilite l’émondage. Pas pour les gros travaux par contre.

Celle- ci est pesante à l`utilisation ( poids de la scie au bout des rallonges) Et devrait être avec la rallonge avec pile. Fabriquée pour être utilisée directement sur scie sans l`utilisation des rallonges
