This is a very nice saw with good quality thought processes going into its construction. I have a couple of these saws already without the extension pole, but now with the extension pole I can cut down branches and limbs that were previously much more difficult to cut or reach without doing something dangerous.

A year ago, I purchased a Takuoo a battery powered mini chainsaw with 8inch and 6inch bars and two chains each, and it still works very well; in fact, it fits the pole attachment of this new Takuoo 2-IN-1 Cordless 8 Inch Pole Saw & Mini Chainsaw. The old saw was 1100W, 36.5 ft/sec, and weighs 2.9Lbs and the new one is only 900 W, 32.8 ft/sec and weighs 3.6Lbs; that’s not an upgrade. The real upgrade is the automatic oiler on the new Takuoo that seems to be working well. In any case, both new and old saws work very well. I questioned what type of oil that should be used and the answer I got was standard bar oil, but standard bar oil is very viscous and gas operated saws get hot and the oil warms up and flows more easily, which is not the case with an electric saw. Another thing that is not listed is the chain information, which happens to be 1/4” pitch, 0.043” gauge and 45 Drive Links. Also, even though a Makita battery fits the Takuoo tools, the Makita battery might burn out the circuitry, because the small slot in the Makita battery puts out the full battery voltage, but the small slot in the Takuoo puts out just under 3Volts. Going the other way, a Takuoo batteries will operate all my Makita tools.I knew the maximum length of this pole saw is 8.3ft, but I feel that more add-on sections should be an option. Another option which would have been very nice to have is Takuoo’s new battery powered Pruning Shears that fits the pole. I like the sectional design of the pole because it is easier to store than the telescopic type poles, but I feel that the telescopic type poles are easier to use.Here is the review ranking basis that I have adopted:⭐️1 star - I don't recommend it at all, poor quality.⭐️⭐️ 2 stars - I don't recommend it, it has multiple faults.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars - It's passable, It has some faults but the quality is ok for what it is.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars - Product quite acceptable, it does what it promises.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars - Product that I totally recommend.

This battery operated pole saw hits a sweet spot between a hand-saw fixed to the end of long-handled stick, and a $1,000 (or more) gas-powered, "no-fooling-around," day in, day out, professional landscaper's tool for taking out tree limbs. In my opinion, this Takuoo, or Taukoo as I've seen it spelled on the saw itself, is not intended for heavy-duty use, but is best suited to make some limb-cutting tasks easier. In particular, limbs that are too little trouble to warrant breaking out a monster gas-powered pole saw, but too MUCH trouble to be conveniently handled by a manual pole saw.If, for example, you have some branches encroaching on your driveway that will soon scratch the roof, or sides, of your car, then this might be just-the-right-size to keep those branches in check. Also, if you have to clear tree limbs from the end of your driveway so that you can have unimpeded views of traffic to make it safe to exit your driveway onto a busy road with high-speed traffic, then this might be just-the-right-sized saw for that task. Also, if you have to climb up and onto your roof to clear low-hanging tree limbs because they are interfering with your roof, or because the low-hanging limbs are dropping so much leaf-litter that its clogging up your gutters, well, this pole saw is a lot easier to handle while you are on top of a roof then the aforementioned expensive pole saw. In other words, depending on the situation, it can be the safer option, and often the most convenient option.Filling the oil reservoir (lubricating oil for the bar and chain) needs to be done carefully because the saw is not stable when standing on its own. The handguard provides inadequate stability to trust it to stay upright, with the oil cap removed, while pouring in some chainsaw bar oil.The pole can be assembled and taken apart with ease. And of course using the pole is optional. As long as you use the pole to push, or pull, the saw, and always keep the bar parallel to the cut, the pole won't break under reasonable use.The chain is small in all dimensions, not just its length, and so I think the chain has to be sharpened by manually using hand files.The only thing that worries me is knowing that the reservoir tank holding the bar oil is intended to deliver oil to the bar, sort of like an oil leak on purpose. This could be a problem if the oil leaks out while the saw is not in use, or if the saw is only leak-free if oriented is some particular way. Otherwise, it will definitely leak inside the cardboard box with the foam cutouts, which could make it a huge mess. I might just line the cavity cutout for this saw in aluminum foil or a plastic bag to keep the oil from leaking through the box.
