Final Analysis
The Black & Decker NPP2018 18-Volt cordless electric pole chain saw solves the problem of pruning tree branches easily and affordably. Its design makes it user-friendly and the overall light weight also keeps it from getting too wieldy (for an adult of average strength) when compared to other pole saws.
On the downside, batteries don’t last forever and it comes with just one. However, there’s room for an extra battery so this shouldn’t really be a problem. Even though it may seem a bit pricey, it is well built, efficient and gives good value for money.
