EGO Power+ PS1001 Pole Saw
#8 in BatteryFull review
A light, long reaching pole saw for homeowners who prune often or already own EGO 56V batteries. The carbon fiber shaft and 5 year warranty justify its higher price.

3.5/5
A quiet, light pole saw for Ryobi 18V owners pruning small trees near the house. Taller trees call for a longer saw.

A good value kit for homeowners on CRAFTSMAN V20 who prune small branches now and then. The big battery runs a long time, but hand oiling is a chore.
