Just received this item. Tried each attachment and they all work well. This is lighter than I thought which makes it pretty good. I also purchased a Sun Joe corded hedge trimmer that is very top heavy, but between the two should make for some interesting trimming.The battery appears to be pretty good , did not use it that long to see how long it will last.I did go to Sun Joe's web site and registered the products and they had a 5.0 AH battery on sale I purchased two of themnormally a $99 a piece battery for only $39 a piece was a Great dealThe oil that came with the system is thin and not chainsaw bar oil, appears to be for the hedge trimmer so one will have to buy bar oil to use the chainsaw attachment., which btw works really well and is not very heavy at all .But trimming and pruning season will be a real test for this system and once I use them for awhile I will see just how well it lasts and how well the battery life is. Will update this review after it is over . Hopefully it will not wear me out as much as my other sourced equipmentUpdate 9/27/23got to use this tool system . First used to cut/prune an old apple tree and Cherry tree that needed some real cutting. Had dead limbs and some large limbs that needed removed. I must say the pole saw with this unit cuts very very well . Cut a few limbs that were over 6 inches in diameter . IT cit them very easily and very smooth . I must admit I was surprised at the power this battery operated pole saw has. I still have more cutting to do,but now I know what it can do, it will make the rest of the job much easier.Next was the hedge trimmer, used on some Hemlock trees and they are very tall, way to tall to cut them with this telescopic hedge trimmer, but reaching up as High as I could I trimmed a little over 1/2 way up the tree's , I am impressed also how light this tool is and how well it cuts . I have no complaints about this tool system, IF i had one grip it would be I wish the pole was able to extend further than it does, but still a pretty good reach as is .The battery I purchased a 5.0 Ah SnowJoe battery worked for over 2 hours before the first light went out, I estimate had I continued using it and allowed it to entirely run down I assume I could have gotten 4 to 5 hours or more on one battery and that is with heavy use ( pole saw and hedge trimming work )I have more such work to do and I will update again and let everyone know a more precise time on the larger battery . The 2.0 battery it cane with I would assume would last at least a couple hours or more, but these 5.0 batts i purchased are far more than enough to get most all jobs done and have battery left .further updates soon
