FENRIR Black + Decker LPP120 20-Volt Maxlithium Pole Pruning Saw

There were a few different brands and systems available for limb trimming at between 12 and 20 feet from the ground. I chose the Black & Decker Pole Saw because I have several other power tools from B & D. I have found them reliable, and...all of the tools take the same 20v lithium battery, including the pole saw. I found that I can cut 20 to 30 limbs between 1/2" and 4 " with a single battery charge. I started by cutting about 25 limbs from some spruce trees. They tend to die off at the bottom and continue to go upward with the die off. Dead limbs can be found two thirds of the way up the trees. I then cut several branches from an oak including a 4' limb. I had not run out of power at that point. Since I have 5 other batteries which will also fit this unit, I can work as long as I like. I used to bring over a ladder and a chain saw and balance as I cut, it always made me nervous. This is really the answer; no cord, it's very light and cuts easily and quickly; and I'm safely on the firm ground. I was very surprised at how well this saw works and the battery life is great. I also learned something interesting. It was recommended that I use vegetable oil when cutting limbs on live trees. The mineral oil (bar and chain oil) I would normally use in my chain saws can harm a live tree. I use olive oil from the kitchen with this saw, it was handy. This pole saw does not have an automatic chain/bar oil feed. I was concerned about this at first. Since the saw does not go as fast as a gas powered saw and I will seldom cut hour after hour as I might cutting fire wood, the auto oil feed is not needed. After every 15-20 limbs that I cut, I use the oil bottle supplied by B &D to add a bit of oil to the chain. The oil container and an Allen wrench to set the chain tension, fit into a clip on the saws chain/bar cover. This is good design and very handy. I highly recommend the Black & Decker Pole saw.

El producto llegó 6 días antes de lo anunciado y eso me ayudó mucho pues tenía urgencia de podar dos árboles, un laurel y una jacaranda. Apenas desempaqué la máquina la armé (es muy sencillo) le puse aceite a la cadena y una batería que ya tenía cargada de mi desbrozadora- gran ventaja que esta línea de productos B&D usen el mismo tipo de baterías. La maquina trabaja muy bien. Los cortes no son tan rápidos como con otras maquinas más caras pero no es algo significativo. Estamos hablando de que una rama de 3 pulgadas se lleva 3 o 4 segundos más que una máquina más cara. En total corté como 20 ramas con calma en 30 minutos y la batería ni se inmutó. había usado otras maquinas eléctricas y es una diferencia abismal de comodidad el no tener que estar cuidando el cable. Excelente producto, lo único malo es que pregunté en Black and Decker México y me dijeron que esta maquina no esta en su catálogo de productos para México y por tanto no tendría soporte de servicio con ellos. Punto malo para Black and Decker México. Deberían incluir este tipo de productos localmente.

Il fait bien le travail, la batterie a une bonne charge, il coupe très bien

Worked better than I expected; cuts well. Price was great (obtained during lightning deal). A full charge allowed me to cut about 20 branches ranging from 1-4 inches in thickness. On the heavy side, but not as heavy as some have suggested. I've deducted a star because there was more plastic used in constructed than expected (the poles are not metal), so durability may be an issue. You'll need to buy some chainsaw oil, as it doesn't come with any (but it does come with a little plastic applicator bottle). I've been using Canola oil so far. Also, the charger is very basic. Impressed to the point that I'm now looking to get the product line's 20v grass trimmer when it goes on sale again.

Se ve de muy buena calidad, y alcanza muy buena distancia
