Ryobi 18v pole lopper makes the cut!

[@danielstevenson1250]

I use mine for copperhead snakes.

[@m3rdpwr]

I just bought the handheld brushless lopper. I think it's great, but it broke after the first day. It started making clanking noises and popping and the side fell apart. I had to go to two stores before I could find a replacement to swap out. Hopefully the replacement fares better. I'd like to get the one like you have as well.

Great shirt!

I’m really wanting the new Milwaukee pruner but for almost half the price and just 1/2 inch less cut capacity this Ryobi pole pruner is looking VERY appealing!!

[@ex8280]

half the price? it's 250.

[@txvet7738]

@@ex8280 I got it for $220 on “special buy” at HD and actually today it’s back again on special buy for $220! That’s why I got but it does cut slow though!

Made in the same factory too

@@ex8280 the Milwaukee version is 499, close enough

[@sgtshak2806]

Can you connect the batter head directly to the pruner to avoid buying a secondary hand unit?

[@m3rdpwr]

Also, I have the Ryobi 18 volt pole chainsaw. I wonder if you can just change the head out like you can on some of the other tools instead of buying the whole thing.

Dewalt and milwaukee need this asp

[@Homested_Happenings]

Had the non extendable version and it would hardly cut 1" branches using multiple cuts. Returned it the following day

[@icemane8083]

I have the extension pole the chainsaw can I use the same extension pole for the looper

[@John_Ridley]

It'd be really cool if they made the handle and cutting end able to screw together into a short tool, or unscrew and insert the pole between them. 90% of the time I only need a short tool but the pole would be handy a lot of the time. They have a short tool but I don't really want to buy both when it seems like it should be easy to make one tool do both jobs.

[@cliffordmontana4562]

How could one tool do both jobs? It’s impossible for anything on a pole to be 2 feet long. Just buy both. I just got the Milwaukee m12 pruner and the holster for it for $205. Tonight I’m ordering the $500 13 foot milwaukee telescoping lopper and the $600 13 foot telescoping Milwaukee pole saw. I also have a 20 foot manual Silky Hayate pole saw. All my bases will be covered forever. Right tool for right job.

[@John_Ridley]

@@cliffordmontana4562 Seems trivial. Put a screwed together join between the handle and the motor of the short one, would be the same length or just a tiny bit longer, and then have extension poles to go in there. My Ryobi pole saw has removable extension lengths to go in there, there's no reason it couldn't be made to take zero extensions and be the short length.

[@cliffordmontana4562]

@@John_Ridley You want Ryobi to add another 2 plastic collars? Those are the weak points. You’d need one by the base and one more up at the head of the unit. It would be so floppy and weak. Just buy the new Ryobi HP hand pruners, or better yet, get the Milwaukee m12 ones. Best of both worlds, and you’re not disassembling your tool every minute to change length. The Milwaukee hand pruners are cool because they come with a holster, so you put it away on your hip and grab the pole saw or pole pruners. It looks like it would fit the Ryobi HP unit as well.

Looking for solution for encountered problem when trimming live oak branches with a relatively new Ryobi 6 ft pruner. In the process of trimming, the blades closed around the overhead branch, severing it but the blades locked up while in "closed" position. I was able to lower the pruner as the branch was very nearly severed and found a small piece of wood caught between the blades which remain in closed position and will not open. Suggestions???

[@nick_john]

Bamboo. Way down at the base. Can this handle it?

[@steelman86]

What is the shortest length this can be for close up,pruning?

[@284Winchester]

How does it compare weight wise with the expand a pole Ryobi saw ?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

It's lighter

[@robertocalvo934]

The idea is awesome but man, that thing is slow as hell and the diameter is just a tad too small

[@jeremyminns5627]

Trying to gauge the maximum cut diameter and not straining the motor is problematic when it's fully extended.great for small bits.better off with pole saw.

[@woowoow00]

How do you sharpen the blade?

[@seanhamilton4175]

With a stone or a file
