Litheli 20V Cordless Pole Saw, 8'' Battery Powered Pole Chainsaw for Tree Trimming, 28ft/s Cutting Speed, 2.5Ah Battery & Charger Included, for Branch Cutting & Pruning

I was hesitant at 1st when I ordered it because I have always bought gas chainsaws. Don’t be fooled by this electric saw. This has some serious power and I cut some big lower branches off a ginkgo tree that is probably almost 150 years old. It cut through like butter and i trimmed up a few more trees on the property and cut for about 2hrs and the battery was only down to 50% when I was done using it. The only thing I wish it had was a regular chain nut and a tightener. After a few cuts you will have to loosen the screw and pull the 8” bar out and tighten it down again. The chain is great at using bar oil, I filled it up and it was still good the entire way through. My gas chainsaw eats up bar oil but this thing stays lubed with a little bit at a time. Other than that I never used the strap that came with it. It is front heavy but once you have it up above your head it’s actually pretty lightweight. I read the reviews and others had issues with the chain and bar oil. I had no issues installing the chain on the bar or filling the oil. It doesn’t come with bar oil but you can get it anywhere that sells motor oil. It’s very quiet when running and very durable to cut smaller branches. If you have bigger branches than grab your gas chainsaw with a bigger bar. The functionality of this saw is great and very easy to assemble. Every piece has a power connector with a slot so you can’t mess it up. 5 star Seller ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It took a few weeks to get it but it was well worth the wait. Lowes and Home Depot and harbor freight had them for way more $$ and I read the reviews on the name brand ones and they all have some serious issues. I used this saw and put it to the test and it’s legit tough as heck. You won’t regret buying this saw to trim trees on your property. Hopefully this helps the next person out.

Here's the story: We live in Florida and have quote a few large oak trees on our property. Some of the branches were starting to grow towards our house, some were starting to cross over the fence line towards the street and over the driveway, which prevented the delivery trucks from wanting to drive in. Also, being that hurricane season is here, I wanted to get rid of excess branches and push the weight away from my home. Initial Quote: I got a quote from more than 1 tree trimming company to just get the sides trimmed off and make for better visibility, and they said that they would have to charge me hundreds just to get a dump truck out there, let alone do the work I was asking for. Over $500 for one round of this, and trees grow, so who knows how often I'd need this to get done. Purchase and Recommendation: I bought this and a bottle of Dewalt oil that was recommended for this, and I recommend anyone who purchases this gets the same oil with it, or similar reputable chainsaw oil, as it has a reservoir. All in, about $100 after discounts, shipping, and taxes. User Experience: I got all this done in a matter of one hour of trimming with this thing. I'm a short 5'7" 130lb male, not strong at all. I found that this product was indeed high-speed at cutting, and made quick work of any branch I could reach that I wanted to cut off. Like a warm knife through butter. I let gravity and the blade do most of the work, keeping the unit stable as much as possible. It is indeed top-heavy, however, I can see why it's so heavy with all extensions attached. It's a very strong unit and it's basically all housed in the front, minus the trigger and the power. Strap: I found that the strap was really only useful for when I was moving from place to place, I would hold the unit completely verticle, like a rifleman, and most of its weight would sit on the straps, keeping it balanced with one hand. Otherwise, honestly, the strap was not well placed and is more in the way when trying to make a proper cut or reach just a bit more. Battery: The battery definitely lasted throughout all the cutting I did, though I wasn't cutting for much time. It's much lighter than a gas-powered variant would be. Overall Review: I recommend this to anyone who needs to cut some hard-to-reach branches, plain and simple. It's light, it's fast, it's functional, and it does what you need. It dismantles back into storable pieces—great tool to have in the landscaping arsenal.

I gave this pole 4 stars instead of 5 because the weight as advertised was incorrect and it is not easy to use at full extension due to the weight of the motor/bar/chain (see below). I appreciate useful information in other's reviews so I try to provide that in mine. I was looking for the longest reach pole saw I could find. I have an iWorx electric pole saw that works great, but the length is only 7.5 ft. It can be extended further, to nearly 9 ft but becomes too unwieldy because it is so top heavy. I purchased the Lithell pole saw in part because of the good reviews and because it extended to 10.5 ft. and claimed a 17 ft working height with a 6 ft person (my height). The weight given in the specifications is 4 kg (8.8 lb for you non-metric types) but the actual weight when I weighed it was 10.8 lb. My iWorx saw weights 12.6 lb. The head (motor + blade) of the Lithell is 5 lb versus 8 lb for the iWorx. Don't let that lighter weight fool you. On full extension, the saw is top heavy and requires effort to manipulate and control. I am in excellent shape and use of this tired me out, especially if I was holding the saw at shoulder level or above. The shoulder strap really does nothing to mitigate the fatigue or challenge of using the saw at is full extension. Before you buy this, find some way to see how you manage with a 5 lb weight at the end of a 10 ft pole. That said, I have used the saw once, to trim a lot of dead, dry leaves on some very tall bird-of-paradise plants. It worked very well. I did not tax the battery despite making some 50+ cuts. Although awkward to use at full extension, the pole felt solid and not too wobbly. It cut very satisfactorily. The design is sleek and the saw overall felt solid and, hopefully, durable. I am happy with the purchase. When I have used it a bit more, I will plan to post another review. I also checked out a Craftsman electric pole saw but the lack of automatic bar chain oiling was a non-starter for me.

This saw works great. With the full extension i cut a problematic limb that was hanging over my pool, I couldn't get to it because it was too high, and even if I did, it would probably damage the liner when it fell. But I'm having the liner replaced, and this was go-time. So, I got this and it worked better than I expected. I've trimmed down a lot of smaller ones and those were no problem, but the big one was a real concern, probably 5+ thick and maybe 18ft up, and it took it down easily. Now I'm out of limbs, but that's a good thing. In the shorter extension setting, it's still pretty handy to have around. I've purchased several of these Litheli products, they're all great quality for the price, and I like the swappability of the batteries. Charging them via USB is a very intelligent design. I've been very happy with all their tools.

this pole saw was used a couple of times and then the battery woul not click into the slot - i had to tape it in to hold - didn't work so well. This saw had a year warranty, I only had it a month or two but it was past amazons return date. After speaking with customer service by online chat they granted the return and a refund. So I went to ups today with my QR code and they said I had to buy a box for $33 to fit because they did't state total free return. I feel this is unreasonable and I should be reimbursed for the box

This little chainsaw looks like it was designed by Apple. Very easy to use. Battery is simple and charges, but just a C cable. I have taken down at least 100 pounds of branches and small trees in and around the backyard. The length is incredible. It’s pretty hardy my only suggestion as you buy a long duffel bag to carry it in because when it breaks down, it is three pieces that are kind of awkward to carry and store. Regardless, I highly recommend for anybody that wants to take care of small branches up to 25 feet away

Excellent Toole overall. Battery has a long life and it charges quickly. The extension rods make it very useful for medium to high branches. Love it!

Nice unit and well built. Extends to 15'and the extra battery is not expensive and can be used to charge phones as well as tablets. I returned the unit because it was a little too heavy for me (80 yr old female) to hold up. I have a tree farm so I do all the work for trimming limbs as the trees grow. I had trouble keeping the chain on, but the Seller explained that there was another knob to tighten the chain. I returned the unit due to weight, however, the Seller was very understanding and returned my money. I know if I ever purchase another pole saw and have help, I will repurchase this chain saw again.

I have a saw on a pole (manual) and a ratcheting pole pruner. I bought this for the branches that are too much work to saw by hand or too bouncy. The ratcheting pole pruner is only useful for small branches, if you try too large a branch it will bind and get stuck, I've had that happen often. I got this model because of the reach, it can extend farther than others. Cost was also a factor, I didn't want to spend a lot on something that only gets used occasionally. Reading the reviews and watching a lot of Youtube reviews on pole saws in general and this one in particular I decided I'd get this one. I'm happy with how it performed. My observations echo a lot of what others have said. It's reasonably light but not flimsy. It's well designed and assembled. It can be used with the head and base for lower work and is easier to manage. For higher branches and extra reach you can insert the middle section but it's less manoeuvrable and harder to control but not unduly so. For those who complain, it's gravity and the effect of basically a reverse fulcrum, it's unavoidable. Any weight at the end of a pole will act the same way, the greater the weight the harder it is, but this device is under 10 lbs so quite manageable. By the way I'm in my 70's and managed without any problem. As for use, I did have to readjust chain tension often. At first it's because the chain will stretch but I was still adjusting it after some time so I would think it had done stretching. The tension adjustment is easy to use so it only takes a few seconds to adjust it not a big deal. I will note that while the tension adjust is easy to use because it is large it does tend to obscure the chain so it's difficult to see exactly where you are cutting sometimes. You can position it swing to the side a bit to see if in the right place then lift it a tiny bit, start the saw and lower it to start the cut. (You aren't supposed to start the cut from stop with it resting on the wood, hard on the motor.) As many have mentioned it doesn't come with bar oil you will have to buy some when you purchase it if you don't already have some. Spring/ summer weight for you know - spring and summer. If cutting in cold weather you should get winter oil, different viscosity. As for those who say it leaks oil, yes it does, it's an automatic oiler which means there is a reservoir with oil and an opening where it dribbles out on the bar and chain, it will continue to do so as long as there is oil to dribble out. If you are done pour it back into a bottle otherwise it will keep dribbling until it empty. A temporary fix is to put a rag or piece of cardboard under it to keep it off the floor. The chain speed is OK, it's much faster than the other model from this company but still has sufficient torque . Watching the videos for the other model it seemed to struggle since it was so slow. Battery came partially charge which is normal for all batteries. It doesn't have a charger you just plug it into a USB power source with the supplied cord. It lasted for the numerous cuts I had. The length of time you get will vary due to the thickness of the branches, the hardness of the wood and the number of cuts. I was cutting a locust from 1 inch to 4 inch, not super hard wood but the way they grow you have a lot of branches that die back. As for technique watch some videos. So I'd recommend this saw. It's not too heavy, reaches farther than most others, it's nicely made and does the job.

J'ai bien aimé cet outil. Oui il est pesant à la tête mais demeure très pratique pour son utilisation. Cela permet de laisser l'outil couper les branches de lui-même. Pas besoin de tirer ou pousser. Avec la première pleine charge, J'ai pu faire le travail voulu soit une trentaine de branches entre 1" et 5" sans problème et sans difficulté. Après le travail la pile indiquait encore 50% de la charge. Je le recommande fortement.

Overall this is a good value for the price. This saw did what I needed it to do. The one thing that stops this from getting 5 stars is the chain becomes loose quickly, and requires tightening frequently. This can throw you off when you are in a groove. The saw itself feels solid. The saw when fully extended it is lighter weight than I expected. The biggest highlight is battery, great life, and the multi functions of it is a great addition.

This product is excellent in design and performance. Tons of battery power,cuts like a champ. The only thing is when fully extended it is a little top heavy and takes some practice. Well done

When i ordered it I expected it to be some what flimsy but was pleasantly surprised. Went together with ease and did the chore I needed done with no issues. Great addition to yard gear.
