I am always looking for tools…oh and tools that can be easily used, transported, carried etc. As I have mentioned before I have anew respect for Ryobi because they created lithium batteries that I can us in my old tools.
Well they also make a RYOBI 18V ONE+ Pole Saw (tree trimmer) that uses the same Ryobi batteries. I ordered it online from Home Depot for $99 shipped to my door. Got a chance to use it last weekend to cut out a few dead limbs. I had so much fun I cant wait until this weekend to cut a few more dead limbs.
It uses an eight inch chain saw blade and the standard Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery pack. I pulled the battery out of the drill and stuck it in the tree trimmer and used it all afternoon. I haven’t recharged it yet. It was cutting limbs up to 4 inches. Less mess than a gas trimmer and no long extension cords to get tangled up for the plug in type.
Now I am thinking of going back and buying a hedge trimmer for the Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery. No more cutting my extension cord.
