Hyundai gardening equipment

I'm trying to lessen the weight of power equipment. For example, I have the 36v Black and Decker chainsaw, strimmer and hedge cutter. They are all very impressive.

However, I could use a long pole chainsaw. B&D don't make one in the 36v group. Hyundai do, but I can't find any reviews, etc. They do give a 3 year warranty.

I wondered whether any members had experience of this pole saw particularly, or Hyundai equipment more generally?

 

That is helpful: thank you.

They do 'advertise' a wide range of equipment on their website, and the pole saw is not expensive in relative terms. I suppose I have liked the B&D equipment so much that I may be a little shy of going elsewhere. That said, I have some Lidl (Parkside) battery tools, and I was hesitant about those, but, so far, they have behaved very well. One, a reciprocating saw, paid for itself in no time. I had a line of laurels to 'prune'. Stems a bit too thin for a chainsaw, but hard work with a hand pruning saw. The Lidl saw did the job fine, and had served well since then. Easy cutting access between tight branches is also an asset.

I now have a long multi-stemmed willow branch to deal with. The branch is roughly parallel to the ground, but is just above reach without a ladder. I don't use a chainsaw on a ladder. If it is ever sensible, it isn't for someone 76 with vertigo and balance problems!

 

I haven't proceeded with the Hyundai mainly because the Black and Decker pole saw is £50 off the usual £150 via Amazon Prime. The offer finishes tomorrow It is only 18v, but the feedback is decent!

We shall see what we shall see...

 

If you buy Hyundai and have it delivered make sure you check it for any damage before signing

I bought a water pump but it was damaged through bad handling, the pump is good and been working for a year no problems but the bottom plate was damaged but i repaired it

 

I emailed Hyundai four days ago asking for further information about their pole saw. Not a word of any sort from them! Enough said?

I've used the B&D 18v pole saw this morning for the first time. For my needs, it is probably a better bet than the Hyundai anyway. I've only used it with the two sections. It is manageable at that length, but I shall 'look forward' to trying it with the third section! There are some higher branches. It may need a bit more care. The Hyundai is, I think, heavier.

However, for what it is, the B&D performs very well. I wanted to remove some branches and sub-branches from a weeping willow. The thickest would be around 6". It proved to be an easy job - one I have kept putting off. One slight downside is that oiling is not automatic: you have to apply a trickle every minute or two. No great hardship, unless you were trying to deal with a jungle.
