Ryobi RY43160 (8") 6-Amp Electric Pole Saw

Used this saw last summer to clear limbs on the fence row. We ran a small generator in the back of the truck and worked out of the back while my wife drove. No more driving the tractor through low branches. Now thanks to hurricane Matthew, I've been using it on cutting up a 100-year-old oak that is on the ground.

I've decided to clear the outside branch and work my way in. I'm 65 years old and the less I have to send over or pull start my chainsaw, the better. Two days in, and the saw is doing a killer job. I've had the chain come off once. Tighten the nut to hold the chain a little tighter and sharpen and keep it oiled. If it dies tomorrow, I'll go get another one. Love this saw.

We have had this saw for about 2 years with mixed results. It was great at first, but after a while the chain starts falling off and you constantly have to stop to put it back on. Sometimes it falls off after only 2-3 seconds of cutting. When this happens, it deforms the chain which is then useless.

I have gone through about 4 chains in 1 week when we are doing yard cleanup. They don't sell replacement chains at Home Depot either - so you need to order them online. On the positive side, it is easy to use and because it is electric, it starts right up. I am female, 5'2", 115 lbs and can use it fully extended to trim branches high up in trees.
