    I run the Milwaukee Quik Lok pole saw, specifically because it can be broken down into 3 short pieces which are much easier to transport. Bonus, the power head can be used for other attachments. Well satisfied with it. Would be interested in a truck tour sometime, if you feel like it. Be cool to see how you have your gear organized in your Rigid box. Special thanks to Milwaukee for supporting our TH-cam friends.

      Thats an excellent point. Transport would definitely be easier if everything could be even shorter.
      You're not the first to ask about that. I guess I ought to make a video like that 😅

      I keep my 3 piece Milwaukee Quik Lok pole saw in my Rigid tool box on my truck along with the weedeater attachment and my other chainsaws.I use some carpet pieces layered between my saws and Milwaukee pieces to keep them from getting scratched and knocked around.

      @barrybri carpet pieces sounds like a good idea. I have a couple spaces in my truck aswell. Most of them are just old plastic bottles 😅

    I’m an old fart stuck on 2stroke fun. I run the Stihl 131 with extension. If I’m off the ground I’ll run a hand pull pole saw. If I ever have to buy an electric one I’ll probably go with the Milwaukee fuel one. Hope you have a blessed week.

      The milwaukee telescoping pole saw shits all over the stihl 131 the milwaukee can extend further and has way more power I was a gas guy till my brother got the milwaukee pole saw and I used it sold my 131 almost immediately!

    Literally bought the Milwaukee telescoping saw two days ago after watching a couple video reviews. Wish I had seen yours too because that would’ve made it easier to choose. Used it today and it is incredible impressive in ease of use, like you said the weight on the saw end is light and easy to maneuver but cuts like a big powerful circular saw. Made quick work of a big project with a lot of cutting and still had half a battery left. So glad I went with battery power on this tool. Would buy again without hesitation.

    • @zaccheus

      Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience with the tool here! It is the berries. It makes me think gas pole saws really have a limited amount of time left on the market.

    I got a pile of old broken Stihl gas power pruners in my shop .. have wanted to try battery power pruner for using out of my 60 foot aerial lift for out of reach limbs .. just ordered the Milwaukee power pruner and very excited to try it out .. this video made me buy the Milwaukee! Thanks 🎉

    I have a stihl 131 extendable pole saw myself and like it but..when reaching out far the exhaust is a pain just like you said.
    I was quite suprised by the Milwaukee with the cut time, and being able to stablize it on your leg like you said and that seems like it would be nice.

    What size chain is on the Milwaukee?we run 3/8lp 043 on the stihl HT 135 with a 14inch bar so you can cut bigger limbs ,the stihl runs a 14bar easy,how do you reckon that Milwaukee would go with same chain size and 14inch bar

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe it is 3/8p. I haven't tried any bigger bars, but there was a fella in the comments here somewhere that mentioned that he had put a bigger bar on it and was satisfied. They claim it makes 2.4 hp or something like that. Thats competing with a 201 🤷‍♂️

    Husqvarna use CC equivalent. On a 530ipt the 5 means professional and the 30 means 30cc equivalent. 30cc to HP = 2

    A fair comparison would require all chains to be new and hand filed. The Husky chain was - from my arm chair - not performing as it should IMHO ;)

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Well they wouldn't be new if they were hand filed 😂 you have a good eye though, the husky was the only thing that didn't have a brand new chain on it. We thought we had one ready to go, but something got mixed up and so we ended up having to using a chain that had been on it for a little bit. It had been hand filed, though.

    • @diegovd7215
      @diegovd7215 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@zaccheusThanks for your reply. The reason I said new and hand filed is because of the distance between the cutting teeth and the rakers, you want them to be equal for all, and no chain is 100% equally sharp from different factories, hand filing them to a perfect cut (Buckin' Billy Ray style) makes the comparison really fair. The Husky chain was very jumpy, that is why I noticed it right away. I have a Makita dual 18V battery powered telescopic one. Cheers :)

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @diegovd7215 I can't say I'm on board with Billy's filing tactics. I don't think it's possible to hand file something sharper than competing multi-billion dollar companies who all want to have the sharpest chain on the market. It's definitely possible to file a chain to better suit the species you're cutting. All chains sold are set up to cut hardwoods. Billy is out there in the softer wood where you can afford a little lower raker.maker.
      How does that makita run for you? Is it 18v or 36v or 40v?

      @@zaccheusHi, oh, well I did not mean that hand filing would make them sharper, only equally sharp. Anyways, after a while one will have to file them so... filing them all before the test puts them at the same height of one's filing abilities for later use, and removes one variable for the test so that the test is fair. I can't argue on specific tree work applications, you know much better than me for sure! ;) I only expressed my opinion as a Tester, which is my job.
      The Makita works great. The only pain with Makita products like the DUA301 that I have, and the chainsaw also with 2x18V batteries is that they turn off automatically pretty fast, thus one needs to turn them back on again and again. I don't think the Milwaukee does that. The Makita DUA301 is just slightly less powerful than the single 40V battery. I chose the DUA301 since I have many 18V Makita tools, batteries and chargers. I also only need to do tree work on occasion on the trees near my beehives, and on side-hustle jobs. Cheers
