SM (verified owner) –
Very nice electric pole pruner, works with the batteries I already had, well designed tool. Early days but I found the battery lasted all day as this kind of work pruning at high level and even with some hung up trees, the amount of time actually sawing is limited and the rest of the time the unit is not using any power. Some kind of international standard for interchangeable batteries would be good potentially allowing less tie in to one manufacturer though I can’t fault the Stihl equipment.
