I told my wife, Hey! I gotta get me one of these! Then she said you can't, cause she is planning to buy me one for Christmas. So she says thanks for spoiling THAT surprise August!

I think your the only person that could’ve made homeowner chores interesting 😂

Trimming trees with a shotgun!🤣 You are a man after my own heart. I showed a friend of my son that you can take a small pine down with 10 or so rounds from a .44 mag revolver a few years back, not a clean hinge.

Pole pruners are a very handy and capable tool. Just have avoid the impulse to go power crazy and remind yourself to keep the escape path clear. 😀

Hope you're feeling okay my KZfaq friend, because you just made a pruning video! 😆 Legit looking pole saw, makes me want one.

I know ppl are different whether at work. School or home....also on YT channels.....but August i believe your truly as genuine and real as s man can be in your videos. Whether you have something to say or show it's always must see!! You just have a way with words and explaining ehst you want to share!

Cool pole saw and enjoyed your out take on it 🌲 Made me smile hearing you pruned the tree with a shotgun 🤠 I can see it. Watched someone shoot a dead top out of a fir using a riffle. Thanks August Always enjoy your videos 👍

When I would visit my cousin during the summer. We would each get a brick of 22lr. We would shoot from the barn windows and trim the small trees growing in the fence. I am happy with all my Milwaukee tools. Probably a good thing I cannot afford all I want.

This was dangerously close to a pruning video. I won't tell anyone...that saw looks good. Cuts nice.

Its smooth because you dont have Damien putting those rakers on fleek 😂🤟

“WHAT’S that NOISE? N.E.OH Bob

At $800 MSRP for the kit (saw, 12Ah battery, and charger), and $600 MSRP (tool only), ...it better be a legit tool! It seems that Milwaukee has hit the mark with this one. Time to start saving my pennies again.

I really like this saw, I bought one last year & use it more than any of my other saws 👍🏼

I love that description of the Milwaukee top handle saw as it is 100% accurate!

I love ur vids. Everything is genuine and u make it so the viewers can pick up the most knowledge out of whatever situation ur in. Ur a Great teacher and person all around.

Another - *CANDID, HONEST, HANG YOUR HAT ON PRODUCT REVIEW* we all can use! That thing was a Hot Knife Through Butter with ease. I bought a pole saw for a one time use with a CORD via HARBOR FREIGHT but I wish I had more to do with one cuz I would run out and buy the twin to the one you've shown us and THANKS for doing so!

I’m a lawncare guy and picked up a top handle Milwaukee for the little stuff and I love it. I can’t wait to get a hold of this pole saw! 🙌🏾

Awesome information man. Great pruning tips as well.

Bloke i know used to hire one. For few jobs had no other saws just stand 2 metres back n cut stumps with it. Was a brutal man'

Looks like a good tool August. .....pruning with a shotgun, I like it. 😎👊❤🌲

I enjoy your sense of humor 👍 From one guy who loves to joke to another. God Bless

Gidday from New Zealand August, Showing your age wondering why the gas saw wouldn't run without starting it first. Next you will be trying to find the pull cord on the battery saw!

Could you mount a sling to the saw, thus redistributing some of the weight/force from the arms to the shoulders and back ??

Dude.... I just saw a guy cut the antlers off of an elk that was tangled up with another elk.with one of those... It was either on instantaneous gram.. or youtubi

Funny you made this video. I used my Mke pole saw all day today. I swapped the 10” for the 8” bar. Awesome tool trees looking great.

Lots of good info in this one August, thanks. I love picking up little bits and pieces. Need a battery top handle and was impressed by your video showing the Milwaukee 18v but after this one might need to look at the new Stihl again. Nice to see you still giggle at yourself when cutting wood. Cheers from Oz PP

I like shotgun pruning 👊like that pole saw also

August, I've been orcharding for 25 years and I have tried many polesaws. All were too much work. Either too much in handsawing or too heavy to make accurate cuts. It looks like Milwaukee have hit the sweet spot, which could be a game-changer. Damn! I need to change my brand!

Enjoyed the video. Nice electric pole pruner.

I tryed both pole saw and top handle at lanscape expo definitely lots power so good planning to by both 👊🏽👍🏽💪🏽

These are a workout to use for any length of time...especially at full extension😋

Madron is some hard wood !

At least you got some of your trees trimmed and made a video. Thanks

Great little demo, mate

Lol, August sprinting like home owner (me) haha

I like the hat!!

That was great!

I’ve been wanting one of these. Demo confirms. Legitness

looks like a nice saw

Best Trimming is Milwaukee pole Saw love it ty august ( ty Ron )

I thought shotgun pruning was standard procedure . 😊 God blesses us with all of your vids!! TY

Perfect timing on your review. I have been looking at the Milwaukee pole saw, but was unsure if it would do the job. This video has sold me on it. Which model do you have?

also the top handle chain doesnt free spin so its hard to sharpen

We use the multi tool trimmer. It has pole sections you add in with the chainsaw bar on the end. It's does the weed eater hedge trimmers all in one setup. I was really surprised how the chainsaw pole trimmer combo tool was no joke.

Been wanting the Makita version myself. Some years ago I bought a Honda pole saw/trimmer but you can't make them so long, and it is heavy. I suppose I should just mount the 2511t to a telescoping pole and rig up a throttle!

True about the hard hat and safety glasses but nothing screams homeowner like an extension ladder.

Yer there good. Lot of stihl ones had dont oil well. Or just leak. But like em n great nip few little limbs get truck down the drive way. Cheers

Looks sweet

Definitely impressed especially when you went full bar. I would buy it. We have always joked about shotgun use for tree work, funny to hear you have done that. Like they say “There is more than one way to get a cat out of a tree” not that I would do that or suggest it, but if I think its funny I will say it.

Crap. Now I have to buy one. Thanks for the video August.

I'd like to feel the Milwaukee one now they make good battery tools. Same battery for all of their fuel tools it seems.

Nice review and enjoy your style. That saw is awesome. Love my Milwaukee stuff, but couldn’t justify the red tax on this one. I already had 60V Greenworks tools and batteries so I recently bought their polesaw. Does the job and am pleased with it. Not sure why it took me so long to buy 😂

Well, my friend, without you even getting paid from Milwaukee. They are going to have a big sale tonight. Enjoy the freebies more will follow.

August, that trampoline needs some deleafing work, once that is done since you're already in your sock feet you may as well show us a few of the tricks your kids have taught you.

Impressive!

Not bad August

Awesome.

I've been eyeballing one of these, still might just wait until my Stihl dealer has a trade-in gas one???

530iPT5 ? Your already running the top handle saw. Easy to stay with the same battery system.

I just ordered one. Rate now I have the Stihl KM 131 R.

Dude! That thing is worth its weight in.... Well, i wont say! Lol Dont want Milwaukee thinking its under priced, because its not. Probably one of the most expensive 'tool only" prices. Aside from their bigger stuff! But just think, u know how when u go to start a climb. And u clear as much of the lower limbs as possible from the ground? Dude, give this to your groundie and have him clear the first 20ft for ya. Which helps a lot for guys who spur up before tying in. But shit, who needs to limb walk when u got this thing in the tree with ya? Obviously depending on if its a trim or removal or if its needing a rope on it. But u get my point. The opportunities are endless with this thing! Definitely on my wish list! Not sure if ill get the petzl zigzag first, or bump it down the list for this bad boy? What would u guys recommend? Which one will be more advantageous? Lol

good firewood saw 😂

I hope it works better than my buddies little yellow brand electric chainsaw. It has enough power but no chain speed and a lousy chain so it mostly just chews up a limb and doesn’t cut clean at all. Can’t think of anything worse to use for pruning.

I have the DeWalt pole saw and I like the Milwaukee design better because the bar goes straight out from the saw whereas the DeWalt bar is angled a bit. After having to cut crossing and sagging branches of my troublesome pine trees from time to time you get a pretty good feel for the pole saws. The DeWalt is OK but I feel the Milwaukee has a better design. One of the things with battery tools is once you start with one brand and their battery fits their other tools it doesn't make economic sense to have a variety of brands of these battery tools.

Wonder is our local saw shop would even repair it when it breaks?

Is a madrone like a brush box in aus? Timber looks similer

Wish they had placed the saw wrench in that place on the top handle saw cause mine got pulled off mine when I was raising pine trees ! Lost for good

Was planning to purchase a Stihl HT-131...now I'm considering this instead...any thoughts? Not an arborist, would be used for personal property maintenance. Price point works-out to be about the same.

The real question is can it take a impact from a limb after the cut wich always happens eventually I broke one oiltank on polecsaw last year .1 second to slow on big maple limb

How do yo think the Milwalkee compares to a STIHL HT 135? I'm learning about these polesaws and was wondering if it's that much better. I know that Stilhl goes to like 16-17ft and is like a 14" blade I beleive.

Hey August, do you know if or where a quarter pitch conversion kit could be purchased for the new top handle Milwaukee? Sorry if this has already been asked in another video or comments

i need one.

Doctor always said i was slightly artistic.

I'm curious if you have ever used the Ego brand and if you had how you felt about it.

That's a new pole saw not even available yet lol You lucky monkey beaver 😂

Got a good laugh at you running across the screen. You should have added some benny hill music at that point

Which Milwaukee battery are you using amp rating ?

Wondering the pitch 🔗 size?

Gotta leave some green

What oil is used for your polesaw?

I've seen guys on videos in the tree go to pull start therr top handle battery saw 😂

Just don't try the blowers. Ouch!

#getaugustto200k

10 inch bar?

Monkey beaver ladder?

I helped a neighbor that brought one of these years ago to trim a tree. It wasn’t a Milwaukee and you plugged it in. I took it from him because I was afraid he would hurt himself. I called it the “Death Stick”

who thought of monkey beaver for your business, great!!

That poll saw is pretty impresive, but what I really want to see now is you using it IN a tree that you're climbing. Don't worry, I'm not trying to get you dead, I'm thinking more of when you have a tree with a larger crown that's dieing so you can't risk moving to far from the trunk, but you need to get branches that are way outside your normal reach..... cutting from above would probably be preferable as you can't really run away like you were doing with that Madrone (

I love that little slip with starting the saw. True story: Mrs. Net's Jeep has the pushbutton start w/ fob (no traditional key.) I am constantly going from her car to my Ford and trying to push the ignition slot and wondering why the damn thing won't start.

Wonder how much he paid for it. ?

I found the battery pole saws to be pretty heavy and unbalanced. Extremely butt heavy.

Homeowner with no hard hat, no glasses. And wearing Vans.🤣

I got to demo Milwaukees saws and wasn't impressed with any of their saws except that pole saw. That thing rips, I bet you could run a 16in on it with no problem

Acting like a home owner. Lol. Nice pole saw

Poles are magic especially when around power lines

I like it, kinda pricey but I'd buy it if I didn't have a couple electric ones already. I really like their 12" & 14" 18V top handle saws but I already have a couple electric top handle saws also. I used to be an Arborista in the late 70's into the 80's 👍🦫
