Title: Just Too Cheaply Made
Review: I bought one of these a couple of years ago after reading great reviews people posted about it. I am not sure what they were using it for, but it has become one of those "I knew it was too good to be true" buys for me. In designing any type of power tool, there is a level of quality that has to be maintained for the tool to perform. They went so far below that level with this pole saw that you will spend more time taking it apart and fixing it than you will cutting with it. Basically it is a piece of junk. A little too much pressure on the blade and the chain jumps off the clutch/sprocket. The clutch drum is plastic. How can you expect a plastic friction drum to hold up. Put the money you would have spent on this thing into a decently made unit, and be happy.
