Just bought this last week. Works Awesome. Neighbors were happy I finally cut up my Christmas tree

My experience with electric chainsaws is that theyâre very underpowered and it takes quite a bit of time to get through a branch more than an inch in diameter. In the video it looks like theyâre cutting through dogwood at one point, the last electric chainsaw I had took the better part of a minute to trim an 1.5" dogwood branch. My gas powered saw goes through them in a couple of seconds.

This saw will cut through a limb 1.5" like butter. It will cut up to 4" in diameter and make pretty quick work out of limbing, pruning, or clean up. As soon as I locate a video, I will post it.
âGrandpa thanks you for the new grabber, but every time he reaches for a can of hash, it rips it to shreds.â
If you ordered from us, be sure to email support@woot.com so they can look into it.
It made Edward Scissorhands popular for a little while but then we all know how that ended. Beware the angry mob neighbors.
For those that have said the B&D Alligator is âbetterâ, does that telescope? All I am seeing is that is a handheld tool, but maybe I am looking at the wrong item. I was looking to do a pole saw for Dh for Fatherâs day & it needs to be a pole saw, so I am thinking this might fit the bill. We have a lot of trees but are in town, so an extension cord is possible, although rarely ideal with a bunch of boys running around, so I am torn on that feature.

Compared to the Lopper, when making cuts on the ground, this is a 1-handed operation. For the extention, it is 2-handed. With the extention it is heavier but the teeth allow it to rest on the limb which helps stabilize while cutting.
I just got the cordless model WG320 last week, and it works great on branches on the ground. We still have a lot left over from a recent storm. Just place the âjawsâ over the branch and push down. Quick and efficient. The only drawback to the cordless is that the battery only last about 20 minutes.
I havenât tried it on trees yet so I canât say how it will work while holding in the air.
One reason I chose this over the competition was that it automatically oiled the blade each time you cut. Saves me from having to remember to do it.
Man, and I was going to let them have at the backyard with this badboy.

I own one of these puppies so donât feel the need to own a similar item, though I do tend to be a tool freak.

Thank a lot. I thought your link was to a cute German Shepherd pupâŚ
I bought one of these for small work in the yard, little did I know that my wife would be the primary user. She loves the ease and power of this tool. It is especially great for breaking down large branches that have been brought down and chopping it into smaller chunks. Very quick and easy to use. No regrets.

WARNING-WARNING-WARNING! Wootâs product description is misleading. It is either because they were fooled by the manufacturerâs promise or it is deliberate. The specs state âIncludes a 12-Foot extension poleâ NOT SO! The Mfgr. advertising says that you can cut branches up to 12 foot high. You automatically think that it has a 12-foot extension to do that. NOT SO! It has a 5-foot extension pole. You can cut up to 12 feet high based on the assumption that the user is 6 feet tall with full arm extention. THEN you might cut a branch 12 feet high. Wootâs spec that it comes with a 12 foot pole is wrong. I knew enough to check for this because last season I ordered an electric chain saw from Sears that promised that I could cut branches 12-15 feet high. I ASSUMED that it came with a pole that long. Nope, a 6-foot pole with me standing on tip-toes, I could reach 10-12 feet high. Check the video and product description on Amazon for the JAW SAW before you buy. They are more careful about the description and never claim there is a 12 foot pole included. The video clearly states that it is a 5-foot pole.
Yes, we were a bit unclear on that. It was a 12â reach. Weâve reworded that info to make it more clear. Thanks for pointing that out.
You are correct. The pole/extension is actually 61" (little over 5 feet). The pole/extension connected to the JawSaw is about 77" (little over 6 feet)which means with the length of an arm (mine being 24") and my height 5â6". 77" + 24" + 66" = about a 13 foot reach so Worx states up to 12â reach.
Have one, love it. Safe and quick.
Just don,t make cuts on the ground where the chainsaw may dig into the ground and dull itself.
Cleared a yard of saplings very quickly, only con was cutting through a couple of extension cords because I got cut crazyâŚ

The most important lesson Iâve learned from using a pole pruner:
If it doesnât reach the branch youâre trying to get to while holding the pruner at an angle, do not stand directly under the branch and stare at it while cutting it.

I use my pole pruner to fend off the branch on its descent towards my face.
It helps if youâre expecting it. 
This thing works great. It cuts right thru anything you can fit in the jaws. Only thing to make sure of is that the blade is on top when you cut, or it may grab if it is a big limb. I love mine
Agreed. But I had researched those issues and was prepared for how long the extension really was. It has been a great product for my family. Frankly, if the extension were a 12â pole, it would be completely unwieldy.

The first thing I thought of was a weapon that belongs in Unreal Tournament. I havenât gamed much lately.
hmmmm yeah, I would think youâd want to keep this away from your kids. Along with butcher knives, rat poison, razor blades. The list just goes on and on.
