- Max Reach: 15 Feet (Aluminum telescoping pole, minimal flex)
- Weight: ~10.8 lbs (tool only); ~14.1 lbs w/ 4.0Ah battery (Remarkably balanced, less fatigue)

User Experience Wins:
- Effortless Power: Starts instantly with a trigger pull. No pull cords, no fuel mixing. Tackles dense hardwoods up to 8” thick smoothly.
- Light & Nimble: Superior balance makes overhead cutting significantly less fatiguing than comparable gas saws (which often weigh 16-18+ lbs).
- Reach Anything: The robust 15ft extension truly works without dangerous wobbling or bending. Perfect for roof lines, tall hedges, or over fences.
