- Uses a standard 8 inch chain - 9.5 inches is the bar length, but all (?) other manufactures use the length of the bar that is available for cutting (bar is 9.5", bar length that is useable is 8")
I needed a pole saw for the obvious reasons, so I picked this up to give it a try
Harbor Freight 6.5 Amp 9.5 in. Electric Pole Saw Setup and Review
I'm not mechanical and although I wanted this saw, I wasn't going to buy it until I saw your video. Thanks so much for the detailed instruction!
thanks for the positive comment, I really like this saw, I use it a lot to do trimming, very nice to have a long saw, although makes trimming a lot easier, and great power - thanks for subscribing!
I paid $52.00 yesterday. 20% off with my membership. I am so impressed with this saw. It zips right through hard oak tree limbs like butter. I accidently got it stuck up in a tree for 24 hrs. I was hanging and swinging on the end of it. The next day i got it down and nothing wrong with it. This is one tough little saw!
I have a very good opinion of this saw, works great, and just keeps working great, I'm using it to do major trimming of all my trees after not being able to because of covid recovery and it just works - thanks for subscribing!
I did the same, bent the chain. I replaced it with an Oregon S 33 chain. It works better than the original chain.
Cut down 6 adult pines, notch cuts, with this. Heights 25-40 ft. Largest cuts 12 inch trunks. Unbelieveable. Plus once the tree is on the ground, don't have to bend over to cut it to pieces. My back is happy. Way less effort than my friends $450 (steel) chainsaw that he brought over, quieter and little safer too. For the lower parts of the trees I just made two cuts to cut them fully. One tree fell with the saw stuck in it, I bound the saw up twice (my fault impatient) motor started smoking. Still works great. I also used junk leftover oil I had in it. Best $65 saw ever.
it is amazing how useful this saw it, I was impressed with the power it had, I am impressed with the saw - thanks for subscribing!
I had this pole saw for 6 years great saw. But, I did find if I use bar/chain oil for chainsaw it’s too thick. So I’ve been using just regular motor oil, works fine.
I almost talked about that in the video, but decided not too - I've used whatever is available as chain oil, regular motor oil, transmission fluid and even used motor oil - when you are out in the woods, you use what's in the truck......even ran without for a day (not preferred!) on my saws in the past - thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for that tidbit about the bar oil being too thick ... as well as the part about having had this saw for 6 years. That's comforting. 👍
Love my pole saw
I am glad I got this saw, it works great - thanks for subscribing!
Very well explained.
Very helpful
Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for the review... very complete. I'm in a Harbor Freight coupon-window... and was wondering about this particular saw. Think I'll be getting one.
I use this to trim my trees twice a year, good price for something I don't use often - thanks for subscribing!
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Thanks, again, for the review... managed to get one the last day of the coupon event.
best review yet...
Thanks ! and thanks for subscribing!
They really need to carry, in-store, replacement chains for this saw. 9.5" replacement chains are almost impossible to find in any store that sells chainsaw blades.
looks like HF measures their pole-saw chains different from everyone else, this actually takes an 8 inch chainsaw blade, the 9.5" measurement seems to be the bar length, where everyone seems to measure just the length of the bar that extends outside the body and is available to use for cutting - these are available from many vendors on amazon, and should be at your local lowes and home-depot, with them being available so easily, I can see why HF does not stock them, or offer them as a replacement part - Thanks for subscribing!
I want one.
It works really well, and no issues with the saw, thanks for subscribing!
I got a 20% coupon in my email that said harbor freight about how they appreciate my business and loyalty no exclusions. Not really sure what that’s about. I’m at harbor freight at least a few times a month so maybe. I’m going to buy that pollsaw tomorrow. I hope you and your family are doing well.
I'm sure it is a regular promotion they do about 1-2 times per year, same with a 30% once a year - thanks for subscribing!
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews 30% off no exclusions? That almost doesn’t make sense to me. You could buy a tool cart for $5000.00 and get $1500.00 off bit ok I would love to get that coupon
How many VOLTS is this unit?
120v, it uses wall power, although I have ran it off the 2K watt inverter in my truck, it is really made to trim around the house, so a cord is not that bad to deal with, but in the field, it does get a little more ackward to get the truck close enough for the cord to reach - highly recommend this tool, very happy with it - thanks for subscribing!
Does yours leak oil when stored?
I have not noticed any leaking oil, seems to not be a problem with mine, how bad is the leak? a little, or all that is in the tank over time?
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Well I stored mine in the upright position and the remaining oil leaked out down the whole shaft. I only used it once. No other problems besides that.
