Since I've had good success in recent years with the Bauer tools and their 20V 5 AH batteries I decided to purchase the pole saw and mini chainsaw last year. I haven't had them a full year yet, but I have put them through the paces on my property. Today was a good day, cutting up 12 trees ranging from approximately 3 to 7 inches in diameter with the mini chainsaw. I used the pole saw for trimming the higher limbs. the saws did not miss a beat and I'm still impressed with the battery life. I had a few big trees to cut up but I left that to the Husqvarna Rancher 55.  As a sidenote, this is the third time I've used the TriLink safety chaps and I must say they are becoming more comfortable as I use them: www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/trilink-chainsaw-ul-certified-safety-chaps |

I tried out a Ryobi electric pole saw since the rest of my tools are Ryobi. I took that thing back the next day. I didn't like mine.
I got my chaps from D&D. I couldn't even guess the brand but I've been using them 15 or 20 years.

Are there any videos on the chaps showing them being tested?
What chain does that small Bauer take?
I use Labonville Full Wrap Competition Chaps.
It's a grainy video, but the point of the video is still there.
I'd double check the specs on those chaps, and if they meet ANSI and OSHA specs then I'd use them. If not, well, chainsaws flat out scare me but I still use them all the time.

Glad they all worked out for you. I need to get me a pole saw to make trimming easier.
As far as chaps go, I bought me a pair of husqvarna chaps after I got bit by a chainsaw in my shin. Wearing them isn’t near as bad as I thought and it keeps my pants and shoes much cleaner than before. I won’t use a chainsaw without them again. I learned that lesson the hard way and got super lucky as it was.

I learned that lesson the hard way and got super lucky as it was. I bought a stihl combi so I switch between line trimmer, pole saw or a small cultivator. There are other attachments. It is gas, I am not 100% on the battery kick yet but very happy with it. The pole saw is real nice for brush clearing. |

I bought the bauer chainsaw and pole saw about 2 or 3 years ago. I must say they are awesome. I have used the chainsaw alot doing hingecuts for habitat work. The chain is sharp and cuts like butter as long as you don't force the chain into the wood too much. It actually cuts better than my remington or my craftsman gas sawssaws. No gas mixture to mess with which is nice. I have 3 of the 5 amp batteries and they last a long time. They have an 8amp battery out now. I also have a weedeater blowerand grinder bauer makes. The pole saw works great too for trimming shooting lanes and getting into thick briers when clearing areas for food plots. If the chainsaw dies I will sure buy another one. very impressed with it.
