HART Power Fit Pole Saw Pruning Attachment (for Attachment Capable Trimmer)

I've been slowly building a collection of “Hart” equipment because of the ability to use the same two types of batteries on everything. I bought the 40v weed trimmer knowing it had the ability to have attachments. Eventually I bought this pruning saw extension. I'm used to gas powered chainsaws (and similar machines). I did not expect this to be better than one and the trees around my house for the last 10 years have went untrimmed and some branches thick too. I'm not gonna get a ladder and handsaw these things. Instructions are not clear to the simple-headed people who buy it on your first assembly. It comes with bar and chain oil which I don't remember reading this would need. Of course it would [duh] but to those unaware of bar and chain devices they wouldn't know the added expense of needing oil if it runs out. Used the 40v battery on highest speed fairly decently. Only used one bar of battery after two trees and not a lot of runtime struggling with cuts. A downside to it is the safety sometimes accidentally thinking a twig the size of a pencil that is unreasonably tougher than steel should stop the device. If it encounters anything it deems close to a wire in toughness it shuts off. I ran into this a few times because my pine tree is an a-hole. As much as it can be a pain, I'd rather have a sensitive safety than a hazardous one. Don't worry about it too much. The harness included was not used but I can definitely see the benefits of having it on, I'm probably gonna feel it later. Instructions are unclear how to hook the harness to the device and that the weird extra black clip is for that reason. (Instruction manual book sucks, to be blunt) Length is amazing, I think it's more than twelve feet with the extender and my weed trimmer handle, if it's not then it feels longer, which is good and it's secured together nicely. I recommended highest speeds for this if you want good cuts and no stuck blades that you will break the pruner pole trying to yank out. I went through thick branches too. Probably thicker than recommended and it did well if you take your time and not rush it. Practice makes perfect. The price is too high. $100 for attachment that comes with no 40v battery and just a pole and chainsaw pruner? Should be $50 for attachments. That's my real complaint. Overall I'm not returning this, I'm satisfied. Easy simple tool without filling up My garage with a bunch of small engines I don't have the ability to fix if something goes wrong.

It works as intended and has more power to boot! I also like that it's an interchangeable attachment to my Hart trimmer.
