[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great combo at correct price and high usability. Greenworks gave me confidence I can manage my backyard myself

Once I unpacked my Hedge Trimmer and began using it, I found that the ease and quickness of getting the job down was amazing. Shrubbery which had taken a minimum of 2 hours to trim were now done in half that amount of time! The real surprise came when I changed over to the chainsaw attachment! Pruning small trees is a breeze and eliminates the hassle of setting up step ladders to reach higher branches, as the extensions get you up to where you need to be.

Seems like a good saw so far. Only problems I've noticed are that the chain tightening screw is kind of annoying, and the newer model has a better hand screw for taking the side plate on and off. Also the descriptions could be better because it is not forwards compatible with newer saw connections.

The 40V Cordless Pole Saw and trimmer paid for itself in the first 30 minutes of use. Cut down and cut up a 30 foot crepe myrtle in about 10 minutes, and used the trimmer to cut three lilac bushes and a hedge that had gotten out of control over the last 3 years. That job was done in about 15 minutes. A solid piece of equipment that is very simple to use. It has a little weight to it, and when you use the third extension it is a good idea to use the support strap that accompanies the trimmer.

We bought this saw to do some light-medium tree trimming at both our home and business properties. This saw is lightweight and very easy to use. The battery held plenty of charge to do everything we needed and more. We much prefer it to the more expensive (and heavy!) gas motor styles. Very happy with this purchase!!
