This review has been updated 5 times since it was first published in October of 2018. When left to their own devices, healthy trees and towering bushes can grow into an out-of-control jumble of limbs and branches in a hurry. You’ll need to trim them occasionally to keep everything neat and tidy. Instead of fighting with a ladder to achieve the proper height for pruning, grab one of these cordless pole saws, so you can handle all that cutting from the safety of the ground.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Black+Decker LPP120

You’d expect a tool that can handle fairly ambitious trimming jobs to be a bit heavier, but the Black+Decker LPP120 (appx. $119) proves that isn’t always the case. It deftly slices through branches between one and two inches thick without bogging down at all.

9. Sun Joe iON8PS2

You’re probably not over the moon about trimming the limbs on your giant birch tree, but the soft foam grip and comfortable shoulder strap on the Sun Joe iON8PS2 (about $219) will make the task a more pleasant one. It has a hard-wearing, self-lubricating cutting bar.

8. Garcare Laser

Zeroing in on that perfect trimming angle shouldn’t be a problem with the Garcare Laser (around $110), which features a versatile head that pivots to six different positions. The durable blade offers a 20-inch cutting length for efficiently tidying up wide bushes and shrubs.

7. Greenworks Pro

A good battery life and a nearly noise-free operation make the Greenworks Pro (appx. $279) a quality option, though it’s not as lightweight as some of the more nimble models, which means it can be a little awkward to manage. It comes with a battery and a charger.

6. Worx WG323

At 10 feet in length, the extension on the Worx WG323 (about $142) allows you to reach areas that previously only the local birds and squirrels were able to access. It doesn’t run at very high speeds, but it affords you plenty of power and control for most jobs.

5. VonHaus Max

You’ll have to exert a little bit of effort when using the VonHaus Max (about $180) for extended periods of time, but the extra workout will be worth it when you see the massive pile of felled limbs and leafy branches once you’re finished with your project.

4. Honda UMC435LAAT

You’ll have to purchase a compatible pole saw attachment separately to pair with the Honda UMC435LAAT (about $379), but once you have both, you’ll be ready to go. This powerful gas-powered model usually starts with one pull and includes a strong shoulder strap.

3. Hooyman 655236

Hunters enjoy the Hooyman 655236 (appx. $246) for, among other things, its natural green color. It blends in with your surroundings in a wooded area, making it handy for clearing brush to create shooting lanes. It’s also built with a little window for checking the oil level.

2. Ryobi One+

Many models will not emerge victorious when pitted in battle against branches that are four inches thick, but the Ryobi One+ (around $139) is different. A razor-sharp chain and high-performance motor combine to ensure consistent, smooth cutting.

1. Greenworks G-Max

The Greenworks G-Max (around $196) is an all-in-one pole saw and hedge trimmer, so with some simple altering of its configuration, you can take on myriad projects without having to root around in the shed for more tools. Its shoulder strap is easy to attach and detach.
