WORX 10-Inch Cordless Pole/Chain Saw

Works okay as regular chainsaw. Okay at best. There is lag upon pull of trigger, a decent amount of kickback while doing the undercut (although this doesn't happen while using the pole, I have yet to understand why), and the auto tension thing doesn't make it any easier. In fact, now I can't use the bar and chain from my old 10", which is really just stupid. Go back to how it was. Nobody likes it, especially when fixing the chain after coming off, which didn't take too long. Overall, as a regular chainsaw, it cuts predictably so long as it's not using the back side of the chain. I wouldn't cut down anything wider than 8" with it, as it doesn't have a whole lot of torque. Just take it easy and let the weight do the work. While using pole saw: It extends ok, feels like it wants to spring back when fully extended tho, which is annoying. I have to lock it as I hold it open. The lock mechanism to keep the saw on the pole is perfect though. Feels super secure. Another annoying part is switching to the polesaw as you have to keep both ends of the pole from touching dirt, which in this field (no pun intended) is all around you. Maybe a little tripod on one end would work? Idk, maybe it's at its best for that case. It's light even in pole saw mode. I am 130lbs at 5'10" and have plenty of strength to hold it up even fully extended while on a ladder, which I do not recommend for this reason... The bar is straight up and down from the pole. This makes cutting branches that are above you impossible because of the way the branch is supposed to fall. If it were angled I could make my bottom cut then top cut and have it fall straight down. However what happens is it falls where it wants to. I would recommend never using a ladder with this. Which bring me to my next point... At the proper angle. It doesn't have that much of a reach. It's not any more difficult to use a ladder and a normal chainsaw. I don't see myself using the pole much at all for this reason. The charger and battery are decent. The charger is nice and compact with programmed lights for anything it needs to tell you. The battery did not last as long the first time, even though I charged it all the way. It lasted as long as advertised since then. The battery level light is nice too. Overall, I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It will keep it til it breaks. Not being able to change my bar, however, really irritates me tho, and I'd never buy any saw like this again with the stupid auto tension thing. Not being able to change my bar also makes it to where I can't get it out with another bar if it gets stuck. Really on the edge for 2 stars, but for the price, it's not terrible.
