DEWALT DCKO86M1 20V MAX* Cordless Pole Saw and Pole Hedge Trimmer Combo Kit

I haven't used the chainsaw yet, however the hedge trimmer was easy to use with only connecting the main pole. It certainly accomplished cutting the top of my tall hedges with ease. Also, the connecting link seems to be of good quality.

Before you fall off a ladder or chop the top off your hedge... give this a try. Life changer. Bit heavy but the strap helps and if you find the right angle, cutting is easier. Hardest part is getting rid of what you trim off. Needed this 5 yrs ago.

Great, versatile tool. It is heavy as several other people have noted. I have just used the trimmer head and am very pleased with how it mows down weeds, small limbs and tall grass. I am recovering from knee replacement surgery and am using the tool to catch up on all the tasks that I couldn't attend to while recovering. It is excellent to use around desired plants, much more able to control than say using a weed wacker. The blades are very sharp and cut through branches with very little pressure. It took a couple of hours to charge the battery the first time out of the box, but the charge lasted longer than I did and the second time charging the battery was much faster.

Great quality product. Battery life surprised me, lasted longer than I did. Fast charge. My only complaint is the weight of saw and hedge trimmer, a little on the heavy side especially when using maximum extension. Would highly recommend this pair of tools. Rob

Works amazing and light weight

This DEWALT combo kit is a total game-changer for yard work! I’ve used both the pole saw and hedge trimmer multiple times since purchasing, and they’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them with ease. The power is impressive for a cordless tool—cuts through thick branches and dense hedges without slowing down.Battery life is excellent, and I love that it comes with a high-capacity 20V MAX battery and charger. Switching between attachments is quick and hassle-free, and the pole length gives me all the reach I need without climbing a ladder. It feels solid, well-balanced, and professional-grade.If you’re serious about maintaining your yard without the noise and mess of gas tools, this kit is worth every penny. Highly recommend it for both homeowners and pros alike!

I was skeptical about how much power this unit would have. Wow, it is plenty powerful to handle most tasks around the yard. Battery recharges quickly and stays charged for about an hour of use. More than enough to get things done. 100% satisfied with this purchase

Before purchasing the combo hedge trimmer and saw unit, I posted a question. Perhaps, I was not specific enough. I asked if pole to pole extension was possible on hedge trimmer for maximum height. Five people including the manufacturer answered yes. Apparently, I should have asked if you could get the full 15' with pole pole for the hedge trimmer. Perhaps, then I would have gotten the correct answer. NO. You can not get 15' out of hedge trimmer, because one of the three foot poles is part of the pole saw and even if you could pull it out of the saw, you can't attach it because there would be No coupling. Now, I have a decision to make. Send it back or have to work off a ladder to reach the top of my hedges. The whole point of buying this unit was not to have to work off a ladder. Disappointed. I would be willing to buy another 3' pole extension with the couplings, but they don't sell one. Yes, I know it's heavy, but it can't be worse than the heavy greenworks hedge trimmer I have rigged up to two 6' fiberglass poles, for a 12' length, excluding my reach. That I have to Velcro strap the thing on and constantly running and then lift it up 12' in the air with no way to stop the blades. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS I realize. Hence, why I bought this thing. Unfortunately, it is not long enough to reach the top of my 14' tall shrubs and need them to be that tall for privacy. Stanley black and decker, who must own DeWalt, says there is no extension pole to buy. I don't believe there is not a part number for the middle pole as it has plastic couplings and could get broken. There should be a replacement part number for that part. Or, do they expect you to buy a whole new uni, just because the middle pole got damaged? If so, that is ridiculous. Not too happy. Five miss answered replies got me to buy this. I thought my question was specific, but apparently not specific enough.
