Greenworks 80V 10ft Brushless Cordless Polesaw - Extended Reach

In this review the Greenworks 80V 10' Brushless Cordless Polesaw is evaluated as a cordless solution for homeowners and light pros who need extended reach without gas. The single biggest reason to consider this polesaw is its combination of long reach and the PRO 80V battery platform that powers through multiple cuts per charge, making it a practical alternative to gas models for routine pruning. It starts instantly, runs quietly, and pairs with 75+ compatible 80V tools so the battery investment pays off across the yard.

Key Features

• Extended reach: The polesaw extends past 9 ft so users can trim high branches from the ground without a ladder, improving safety and speed.
• High-speed cutting: The 10 in bar and 1/4 in chain deliver aggressive cutting performance and up to 83 cuts per charge on a 2.0Ah battery for efficient pruning sessions.
• Brushless motor: The brushless motor provides more torque, longer runtime, and quieter operation than brushed alternatives, reducing maintenance and noise.
• Easy maintenance: The automatic oiler and tool-free chain tensioning simplify upkeep so the saw stays ready with minimal fuss.
• System compatibility: The included 80V battery and charger work with 75+ Greenworks compatible tools, allowing the battery to be shared across other outdoor equipment.

Who It's For

The Greenworks 80V polesaw is best for homeowners with medium to large yards, property managers, or landscapers who value cordless convenience and need to trim branches up to roughly 14 ft from the ground. It suits anyone who wants gas-level cutting power without the emissions or routine engine maintenance.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need an ultra-light tool for long continuous overhead work or those who require industrial production rates; some buyers report the head-heavy balance and occasional chain looseness that can interrupt lengthy, repetitive jobs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong cutting performance that handles 3-4 in limbs with ease and feels more powerful than many corded or gas units.
• Battery life and rapid charging allow multiple pruning passes without refueling, and the battery is compatible with many other tools.
• Low maintenance features like the automatic oiler and tool-free tensioning keep downtime to a minimum.

Cons

• Weight distribution is front-heavy, which can cause fatigue when working overhead or for extended periods.
• Some users report the chain can loosen or dislodge during use, requiring occasional readjustment.
