Cordless Pole Saw for Makita 18V Battery, No Battery

The LEZZYRUCK Cordless Pole Saw is designed for homeowners and yard maintainers who need to trim high tree branches without climbing ladders. Built as a tool-only option, it operates using existing Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries. This makes it a practical addition to an established cordless tool setup, providing dedicated overhead cutting capacity for keeping trees neatly pruned.

The core of the saw features a 560W brushless copper motor with a peak output of 800W and speeds up to 5800 RPM. This motor configuration delivers an 80 percent increase in efficiency and can cut through 8-inch logs in 10 seconds. For elevated trimming, the telescoping shaft adjusts from 4.7 feet to 8.5 feet. When held at shoulder height by a 6-foot-tall user, it offers a working reach of up to 15 feet to clear high branches from the ground.

Chain tensioning and installation are handled via a tool-free bar and chain tensioning knob. Chains can be fitted or tightened immediately without screwdrivers or external tools. The unit incorporates automatic chain tensioning, overheat protection, a protective safety bezel to block wood debris, and a double-sided safety switch suitable for left-handed and right-handed users. The tool also arrives with safety goggles and a pair of gloves.

While the saw offers quick tool-free setup and extended reach, buyers should note specific operational requirements. The unit is supplied without a battery or charger, requiring buyers to supply their own compatible Makita 18V LXT batteries. Additionally, the manufacturer notes that lower-capacity batteries can trigger overload shutdowns under load, so batteries rated at 4.0Ah or higher are required for consistent operation.

Verdict: The LEZZYRUCK Cordless Pole Saw is a solid choice for homeowners who already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and need to prune high tree branches without ladders. Its brushless motor, tool-free adjustment system, and 15-foot maximum reach deliver dependable ground-based tree care.

A great fit if you:

• Already own Makita 18V LXT batteries rated at 4.0Ah or higher and want a compatible bare pole saw tool.
• Need to prune tree branches up to 15 feet high while staying safely on the ground without a ladder.
• Prefer tool-free chain tensioning knobs so you can adjust and replace chains without needing external tools.

Consider something else if you:

• Do not own Makita 18V batteries and require a complete kit that includes a battery and charger.
• Only own 2.0Ah or 3.0Ah batteries, as lower-capacity batteries can trigger overload shutdown situations.

Confirm on the listing:

• Check that your existing battery model numbers match the listed Makita 18V LXT options such as BL1840B, BL1850B, or BL1860B.
• Verify that your batteries have a capacity rating of 4.0Ah or higher to avoid power shutdown under load.
• Confirm that all listed accessories, including the safety bezel, goggles, and gloves, are included in the package.

How to compare your options: Focus on reach length, motor design, and battery ecosystem compatibility when selecting a pole saw. If you already use Makita 18V cordless tools, choosing a compatible bare tool avoids redundant equipment. Look for features like tool-free chain adjustment and integrated safety switches to ensure easy maintenance and comfortable operation during routine yard care.

If you are assembling the tool for the first time, check that the extension pole and safety bezel are securely positioned before inserting a battery. Ensure your compatible Makita 18V battery is fully charged before starting any cutting work.

Before starting a job, check the chain tension using the tool-free adjustment knob. Put on the included safety goggles and gloves prior to operating the saw, and confirm the safety bezel is aligned to block flying wood splatters.

During operation, use the double-sided safety switch to engage power smoothly with either hand. Once your pruning tasks are completed, remove the battery, check the chain, and wipe away wood debris before storing the saw.
