Factory-Reconditioned Homelite 6 Amp Electric Pole Chain Saw ZR43160

Comment: I purchased this saw without doing my normal research but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great saw. You just have to remember this is a chainsaw on a pole. Chainsaws require regular maintenance to perform correctly. Regular chain adjustments, cleaning and bar oil needs top be checked often. In short, I love this saw....

Comment: I purchased a brand new Homelite pole saw and it has been nothing but trouble. I've had this saw for two years and spent more time repairing it than using it. The first problem is the chain pops off very easy, when that happens 9 times out of 10 it will damage the chain and you will need to file it to make it fit the groove in the bar. The chain adjusting screw stripped out the first time the chain came off. Third problem is the plastic handle came apart and slips out of place every time it is being used. I used it for the last time today and the motor burned up and I was only cutting a few shrubs down and they were only 6 inches in diameter. I would reccomend for you to buy a Remington pole saw, they are a much better made saw and you can detach the saw from the pole to use it as a normal chain saw.

Comment: WHEN I OPENED THIS TREE TRIMMER, IT WOULD NOT CUT THE LIMBS, I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE CHAIN WAS DULL I FOUND THAT THE CHAIN WAS PLACED ON THE TRIMMER BASCKWARDS. NOT A VERY GOOD JOB FOR A FACTORY REPAIR JOB. WHEN I CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IT WORKED FINE. YOU NEED TO CHECK ON YOUR SUPPLIERS BETTER.

Comment: Purchased the Homelite "chainsaw on a stick" and to date have had excellent results. The purchase went smoothly and it was delivered as promised AND it looked new out of the box. The chain did come off at the end of a day of "limbing" but other than that this product has been flawless. More powerful than I expected.

Comment: this is a great item. the only PROBLEM we have is that I can't keep my husband from USING it! He's cutting down all the palm branches that give us shade.
Seriously though, it's a great tool for those hard-to-reach jobs. Buy this!
