Pole Saws (41 items found)

Trees provide much-needed shade and bring beauty to yards but keeping them well-trimmed can be challenging. The good news is that a pole saw can allow you to cut branches without getting on a ladder. Ace Hardware can help you find the best pole saw for your needs with a diverse assortment from brands like EGO and STIHL.

Types of Pole Saws

As with hedge trimmers and other outdoor power equipment, pole saws operate using different types of fuel and power sources. There are three main types of pole saws to consider:

• Gas pole saws: Fueled by gasoline and oil, a gas pole saw is tough enough to cut through thick branches. As a cordless pole saw, it gives you the ability to cut trees on every part of your property without having to worry about recharging, so you can work for longer with fewer interruptions.
• Electric pole saws: Designed to plug into an electrical outlet, an electric pole saw is usually lighter and quieter than a gas pole saw. As long as you can continue to access the power outlet, you can use an electric model continuously without having to stop to refuel or recharge.
• Battery pole saws: If you want a lightweight model but prefer the convenience of a cordless design, a battery pole saw may be right for you. It runs on a rechargeable battery, sparing you the expense of fuel while freeing you from cords.

To determine whether to buy a gas, battery or electric pole saw, think about how frequently you'll use it, how many trees you have and how mature the trees are. Once you have determined which type best aligns with your needs, compare features like pole length, bar length and weight to narrow down the options and select your new pole saw.

Consider a Pole Saw Kit

While weighing your options, keep pole saw kits in mind. Although contents vary, a pole saw kit typically gives you an electric, battery or gas pole saw plus accessories and attachments for one price, that conveniently gathers essentials in one place to get you started. Some come with attachments that allow you to convert your new gas, electric or battery pole saw into a tree pruner for more precise cuts. You can also find kits that contain one or more pole extenders. Like chainsaws, pole saws periodically require blade replacements, and some pole saw kits include extra blades to make maintenance simpler.
