New Pole Saw

[Marine5068]

Picked up this pole saw for $70 off regular price to help with lower small limbing on my property as well as clients tree pruning.
I've yet to try it out but read some good reviews on it and thought I'd give it a shot.

What brand and what was regular price?

Its a cordless 40 volt Kobalt pole saw from Lowes.

that angle on the saw, is it fixed or can you adjust it to be straight with the pole? I paid big bucks for the angle atachment for my sthil pole saw and only used it a few times. That angle makes it hard to use. It pushes the saw back away from the limb and you can't stop it from down on the other end. Its a lot worse if you have it extended out.

I have the Oregon 40V pole saw, and have done a lot of storm clean up type work with it. Really impressed with how it cuts, even with the small (3/8 low profile, narrow kerf) chain, and the battery motor. Not designed for heavy commercial use, but really gets a lot done.

I think that the Kobalt battery tools are made by Greenworks(?).
