 Decent Product Sep 08, 2006
By Mark Harkey
I have used a gas pole saw by Husqvarna in the past so I am familiar with these saws. Overall this product is decent. It doesn't cut as sweet as the Husqvarna but it gets the job done. The older reviews in this sequence are for an outdated model that they no longer sell. They fixed most of the problems that people reported below. The latest saw has a hex shaped pole so you can identify it as the latest version. I would recommend this saw for light duty sawing only.
Don't think that because this saw is electric with lots of plastic that it is light and easy to maneuver. Extended fully out it takes some strength to use. The Husqvarna is only 6 feet long and lighter, but 3 feet shorter than the longer reach of the Remington. The Husqvarna also sells for 5 times more than the cost of the Remington which makes the Remington a bargain.
What makes this saw clumsy to use is the motor location. For example, the Husqvarna has the motor located below your hands. The saw is driven by a gear internal to the pole. That feature is also its limitation, in that the length is not adjustable. With most of the weight positioned below your hands the saw is easy to manipulate. But for the Remington, the motor is at the end of the pole. That puts the balance point at the wrong end which makes it harder to maneuver when fully extended. Set to 6 feet it's not bad. Some of the battery operated pole saws put the weight at the bottom where it should be and could also be a consideration.
My only real complaint about this saw is the oiler which didn't work well. Since I'm experienced with chain saws I could see that the amount of oil feed on the chain after repeated pumping was still inadequate. I investigated this later and opened the hole a bit in the plastic oil reservoir which helped. To do this you have to take the chain off. Be careful to put the chain back on the correct way when you're finished. They are not universal with respect to direction. Always use bar chain oil and not motor oil. I had no problems with my oil cap or leakage.
Most do-it-yourselfer's don't pay enough attention to safety with these tools and the instructions included don't emphasize that enough. You should treat this tool like a gas-operated tool. I strongly suggest buying at minimum the helmet that is made by Husqvarna with the built in face shield and ear cups. Trust me even with experience my helmet has saved my head while using a pole saw. A lot of the time you stand under the branch you are cutting, and the inevitable can happen. Second and optionally, I would recommend the Husqvarna leather gloves. It helps griping the tool and protects your hands from dings and from bugs and spiders when later moving the cut pieces.
With a gas model and for serious cutting I would also recommend the chaps and safety shoes. The Remington also does not have anti-kickback protection built in like most gas model chain saws do, and it also does not have a built in chain brake when you release the trigger like most gas models do. That's why I wouldn't recommend using just the chain saw part of this for serious cutting. I say this because many will use this saw without the pole as a regular chain saw. For serious cutting, this saw doesn't even compete with a gas model chain saw for cutting through thick tree limbs, and a gas model will have all the safety features built in. Use it for what it was intended for and you should be ok.

 Little Champ! Sep 20, 2005
By Christian Stovall
"superstovall"
I bought this little guy the same day I bought a proper gas-powered chainsaw (16" Homelite), both at Home Depot. It took care of all of the limbs around my roofline without a problem. Other than being a little awkward with the pole fully extended (mostly just heavy and long), the operation of the saw, with or without the pole, was very straightforward. I wish I could say the same for the Homelite. After the REAL chainsaw blade came off twice and got too dull to even use, I pulled out the Remington and fell 4 10" diameter oak trees without a problem. Clearly this saw is not to be your primary and dragging around the cord is tedious but it will dispatch limbs without a second thought and if you need it to go a little further, it'll gladly do it. I was reluctant when I bought it, but very glad that I did once I put it to use.

 Great saw but??? Nov 26, 2004
By rnbcpe
"Randy"
I purchased one of these 10" pole saws this summer and used it about three times before the chain started jumping off the drive gear. I found that a "c" clip for the plate that holds the chain on the drive gear had popped off. I replaced the clip, but it only stayed on for one more run. I purchased Remington's 14" trimmer version and mounted it to the pole and haven't had any problems since. Some of these saws have the "c" clip and some have bolts holding the plate in place. Beware of the "c" clip.

So far so good! May 23, 2003
I bought one of these after a recent ice storm left several limbs half-hanging from our trees. I'm not experienced with chain saws in general, so I can't accurately say how this compares with other saws. I would classify this is as a less-expensive homeowner-type saw. However, I can say that it seems to work as intended. From what I understand, it has the same power as most electric chainsaws of its size (a little weak). But it cuts small limbs fine. The thickest limb I cut was about four inches in diameter. Also keep in mind that handling the saw with the pole fully extended is a little tricky, and wears on your arms. The saw sometimes bounces a bit at the end of the pole, so the cuts aren't that smooth or precise. But each cuts gets a little better with practice. You can also use the saw without the pole. But releasing the attachment between the pole and the saw is quite annoying, and requires undoing four screws and washers. It would be nice to see a model that snapped on and off the pole more easily. In the very least you will be the envy of your neighbors, who may line up to borrow your new toy.

Can pay for itself in first use Oct 17, 2004
By D. C. Grinnell
I have onwned a standard 21" chainsaw for many years but frequently find the need to trim branches from trees several feet in the air. That saw is too cumbersome for the job. While considering the Remington 10" Electric Polesaw several people advised me that if I bought it I would be very happy with it. I did and I am. I have two very large oak trees in my front yard. They have needed low-level trimming for a couple of years. Quotes to do this have run in the neighborhood of $500.00.
I trimmed the branches from the first tree, cut them up, and placed them at the curb for pickup by our city trash crews. This job took me two mornings and resulted in a pile of trimmings 6' high and 30' long. I more than paid for the saw trimming that first tree. I will trim the second tree in the next week or two.
The saw is very well engineered but can be difficult to handle when fully extended. I trimmed many of the branches while standing on a 6' step ladder. A couple of the limbs were 7"-8" at their base and the saw handled them with ease. Let gravity and the saw do the work and keep the chain adjusted. The newest models have a one-knob disconnect for removing the saw from the handle but I left the saw on the pole when cutting up the branches and that worked fine.
If you have trees to trim this saw will pay for itself quickly and it is of outstanding quality.
