Reviews of the Remington 8-AMP Electric Pole Chain Saw, 8-Inch Bar #104317 by Customers
Customer Rating: Summary: Great backyard tool! Comment: This is without a doubt a great backyard tool and well worth the money. I have owned 2 different versions of these amazing saws and both versions
perform great. If your thinking about buying one stop thinking about it and just buy it. You'll be glad you did.
This next comment is for the Remington engineers. The only draw back to this amazing tool is the extension cord plug connection to the saw. The only way to keep the extension cord securely connected to the saw is to tape the two wires together with duct tape or electrical tape. Come on guys this may not seem important to you but without the power supply this amazing tool won't work!!!!

Remington 8-AMP Electric Pole Chain Saw, 8-Inch Bar #104317
The saw is a decent product, easily assembled, and easy to handle with two hands that is. It surprisingly worked at the end of 150 foot extension cable. The pole can not be removed from the saw very quickly..it takes patience, two hands, a wrench. I decided is nest to just leave it assembled for all tasks. Customer Rating: Summary: A USER SINCE JAN/2000 Comment: I have a over 40 years of experience with tools and chainsaws. Don't believe the naysayers. This is a great tool. I have used the 8" model for 8 years and have also used the newer 10" model. Both are amazing. Both cut like demons. If you have used a gas chainsaw you will be very surprised at the cutting speed--these saws remove any need for a gas saw if power is available and the branches dont exceed 8" (or 10"). This works because the motor is high amperage/high power and all that considerable power is focused onto a very narrow chain. Less power wasted making huge volumes of chips means more power for zipping through wood. This is the light saber of chainsaws.
Make sure that you do not try to force the saw with a dull chain. This is a common error for users of all cutting tools from knives to sandpaper. It does not pay and is hard on both the tool and the user. (and dangerous!) [not with the sandpaper, of course]
Be careful! One reviewer complained about the safety interlock. Bulltwaddle. Any chainsaw could easily kill you just as dead as a gun would. Off the pole, this saw can be used one-handed so easily that you could easily get overconfident. Be constantly aware of the danger and study up a bit on proper chainsaw usage if you are not a pro. On the other hand, this saw has excellent safety built-in and I have never experienced a kickback in 8 years with it.
The 10" version is much improved over my 8" version. The pole is haxagonal so that it can't twist and it has a snap action clamp for holding it open(extended). Also, the method for holding the saw to the pole makes for very quick removal/attachment.
Oil leakage has not been a problem when using chain oil, but it WILL all leak out during storage, so place the saw on a pile of old newspapers to soak up the mess.
Regarding the short cord that "comes loose" --the instruction manual deals with this issue. Perhaps that page was "overlooked" by the reviewers complaining. If you don't like the manual's perfectly acceptable solution, there exists an inexpensive plastic gizmo that will hold the cord ends together.
I would like to point out that the closer you hold the pole to vertical, the less it will tire you out. However, the cut branch can arrow straight down at you very fast. Plan accordingly.
All chainsaws are noisy, even the electric ones. If you value your hearing, wear good ear protection. Peltor makes the the best and the most comfortable overear type in my experience.
I have taken the time to write this as a thank-you to Remington for a great tool that has been a big help to me.
Customer Rating: Summary: Electric Pole Pruner Comment: The 8-inch Remington 8 amp Electric Pole Pruner/Chain Saw performed very well, just as expected. It is not too heavy to lift high overhead even when fully extended. I was able to do much of the tree pruning while standing on the ground. I'm pleased with my purchase, and was amazed how quickly my Amazon order arrived! Although the box was not sealed there were no missing parts. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice product with limitations Comment: I have six mature trees in my yard that need trimming from time to time. I bought the pole saw with the hopes of avoiding the cost of a professional trimmer. The need to trim was accelerated by a recent ice storm that left damage on many limbs. I have used the saw twice in the cleanup.
The good points about the saw is that it is sturdy, rugged, and when operated as directed, cuts through green wood quite effectively. The saw can also be used as a freestanding device to cut up limbs up to about 7" in diameter. Unfortunately, this all comes at a price of bulkiness and weight. Additionally, the pole only extends about 8-10 ft. at max and there are repeated warnings about not using it on a ladder or while climbing in the tree. Hence, it is difficult to get very far up mature trees. Still, I am glad I made the purchase as my trees need frequent prunning on lower levels.
