Been meaning to drop in and update this with my purchase. As a long-time HD credit card holder, I get really good coupons once a quarter. With several Dewalt tools, I had batteries and with a fresh coupon to knock some $ off my order (with free shipping), I picked up just the tool for $120. Like a lot of us, I have long been tired of using a traditional pruning pole saw. Knotted ropes, tangled chains, dull, bent blades all make for a frustrating experience. There's a learning curve with this saw in terms of keeping it out of a bind, and I wish you could shorten it to just one section, but overall, I'm pleased. Fully assembled, it can be a bit unwieldy, but it still beats a regular pole saw any day of the week. Thanks for sharing this Brian. Made it easy for me to pull the trigger. This is the first time I've bought a battery-powered tool when a regular combustion engine version is available. The noise level makes it so I'd be much more willing to use it during the season, than if I had a 2-cycle version. The only advantage I'd give the motorized version is the ability to "muscle" your way out of binds a little easier. For the $, it's a Top-10 tool for any bowhunter that owns/manages/accesses private hunting land.
