I purchased the Ryobi 40 volt Expand-It power head with the pole trimmer to continue building a gas free system. The pole saw included the extension shaft to increase the reach height to 12ft. I like the feature of a built in oil tank for the chain. Please read the manual to be aware the chain has to be running up to speed before cutting. Failure to follow this will cause frustration. As for the Ryobi power head itself, it is well built. It contains a type of induction motor which means it has to get up to speed, which only takes 3-4 seconds, with the pole saw attached. I also have the brush cutter and straight string trimmer attachment. The time to full speed is less. Switching back and forth between attachments is easy . I trimmed trees and used the brush cutter for over an hour and still had plenty of battery to spare. I found the "J" handle that came with the brush cutter easier to work with. Your results may vary. The shoulder strap is a nice touch and helps support the weight (which is not much) and maintain control. Even when used with my older 40 volt batteries from my Ryobi 14 inch chainsaw I cannot find any faults with this product. The only item is when using the brush cutter in heavy growth is to remember to cut from left to right or the cutter will plug. When using the pole saw, get it up to speed before cutting. Goodbye (almost, gas powered chainsaw is still needed for big trees) to mixing gas, running out of gas and paying for gas and oil. Battery powered Ryobi Expand-It system is quieter and doesn't make you smell like a service station.Read full review

My husband likes this but isn’t sure all the extensions are there. There’s one but it definitely doesn’t make it 12 feet like it says. It is a lot heavier than he thought it was going to be. Overall he thinks it will work better than having to mix gas. He can just charge the battery.

This saw works great for trimming the lower branches off pine and spruce trees. Much faster than my hand pole saw. It is a bit heavy, but not as heavy as the gas powered pole saws. The battery lasts about as long as I do!

Ryobi’s 40v interchangeable outdoor tools function very well for a good price.
