Hi all,

Probably proactively tempting us ahead of Aldi's upcoming deal, but this is a pretty great price for a pole pruner, hedger, battery and charger.

It's especially great when the pole pruner is $149 on its own (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-pole-pr…) and the pole hedger on its own is $159 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-pole-he…).

It's even better when you're able to get the battery from this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/334942

Have a great weekend everybody.

    I have this pole chainsaw, it is surprisingly good, well balanced and being able to adjust it at the top and handle makes it a lot easier to use than most.
    Cuts well, battery lasts well and it is hard to jam the chain which was unexpected.
    The only annoying part is that this set is a much better buy and I would have liked the hedge fitting as well :(

      Thanks! Got one from there just now.
      Went to Notting Hill but seems they don't have any, then saw this and drove to Ringwood.
      They still using the $75 price tag for the 4ah battery at Ringwood, but the actual price is $39.89.

  • oldrocker on 13/10/2017 - 15:51

    I was looking at hedge trimmer (corded) to cut small shrubs, but now very tempted by this.
    However, the Aldi setup is only $140, right? and the warranty is 5 years?
    Correct me if I'm wrong!

      • oldrocker on 13/10/2017 - 16:19

        You're right! Thanks! Just saw Bunnings warranty is 5 years (tools) 3 years (battery/charger). Aldi battery is only 1 year.

    Bought one of these 12+ months ago at $249 and its been great, gets a fair bit of use with all the tall tree's around my place, has made tending to them a lot easier. Battery life is really good too, A++ would buy again.

  • whats up skip on 13/10/2017 - 17:49

    I noticed one previous time that the Aldi model at that time allowed the unit to be used as small chain saw. That is there was no need to have a one metre or more pole between the handle/battery and the saw head. This would be handy.

    I have the Ryobi 18V version. The pop rivets in the joint system have started to become loose. Also the where the pole enters the saw unit, even though this part uses screws. Means the setup starts to be a bit floppy and more difficult to use. One really good aspect though, it doesn't leak oil (well almost nothing) when in storage. Unlike most normal chainsaws.

          Cheers. Otherwise I'm just pretty much waiting for a recip saw deal.

    • Jackson on 14/10/2017 - 09:52

      I have the Aldi model you are talking about. I bought it because in the past I have had use for a chainsaw and a pole pruner. As a chainsaw it's excellent, little maintenance being electric and is plug in not battery operated so never need to worry about batteries, which for the amount of use it gets is fine for me. Also I am assuming it's probably more powerful running from the mains but I haven't checked.

      There is one big issue with it being a pole pruner, and that is the weight distribution. It works fine but with all the weight at the end of the pole it's hard to control, especially if you aren't fit/strong. Can be a real issue when trying to cut through a high branch and needing to use some force, and then once you are through stopping the momentum is really hard on your back.

        Can be a real issue when trying to cut through a high branch and needing to use some force

        If you need to use force then your chain needs sharpening. Get a cheap sharpener and you'll find it much easier

        • Jackson on 14/10/2017 - 14:28

          It's brand new though, is that normal the first time you use it? To me it felt like it was because the branches (its a lemon tree among others) were a bit bendy, so applying any force in the correct direction was a bit hard, ended up getting a lot of rough cuts as such. Also when I was holding it like a chainsaw and cutting thicker pieces I had no such issues, went through like butter.

          I think I am just going to climb the tree in the future.

        • OzBragain on 14/10/2017 - 14:43

          @Jackson:

          If it's new and cutting through other stuff okay but you're having trouble up higher then my guess would be your technique. There are loads of people injured every year by chainsaws and it's generally because they were being careless or didn't know how to use the equipment properly. Pole saw put you further away from the fast moving sharp cutty bits but don't get complacent.

          If nothing else check out a few instructional videos on Youtube.

          That said, don't expect the chains on any of these cheap saws to last long between sharpenings.

        • Jackson on 14/10/2017 - 17:35

          @OzBragain: fair enough, yeah I was being extremely careful, you need to be I guess, after seeing this go through the trunk of a tree you realise your limbs may not get any second chances

          Someone at Bunnings convinced them to yank half the cells out of the battery, change the design and put an Ozito badge on it so they can sell it for under $200?!?!?! I'm calling troll or it's time for you to hand in your OzB card. Don't want to come across too harsh but that's just BS.

    Picked one up the other day and gave the chain saw and trimmer heads a workout on the weekend. Still had 2 bars of battery after about 40 mins of cutting.
    Chainsaw was OK but needed to keep on top of the tensioner so it didn't get too loose. Probably would have been nice if a starter bar oil was included, particularly if it was purchased by someone at the full price previously. I had some handy, so wasn't a problem for me this time.

    I found it was quite top heavy but not having used one before I don't know if there's better weighted options out there.
