RYOBI OPP1820 ONE+ 18V Cordless Pole Pruner, Yellow, 20 cm Bar (Body only)

Another addition to my Ryobi armoury. Does the job well cuts through branches of the tree overhanging my summer house like a hot knife through butter. The only concern I have is how the extension poles will wear as they wobble a bit and care is needed when handling. The poles are a bit fiddly to assemble at first but soon got used to it. Main points I would recommend is thorough cleaning of bar, chain and head assembly as leaving it dirty will impede oil flow to chain, this applies to all chainsaws. Ensure chain is adjusted to ensure easy cutting. As you can see by my photos this was just a 15 minute session to clear the hanging branches. If you already have Ryobi batteries this is a good buy a little pricier if you have to buy charger and battery. The device extends to 3 m or so which is ample for my needs overall I would recommend it

I have just started using this Pruner having recently bought a few Ryobi ONE tools etc. In short it seems brilliant. The tool is well made and should last. - we have a high end 'requirement' living on an (what was) an old farm - now holiday lets - with lots of farm track, trees, hedges, grass, etc etc etc. in the North Wales outdoors where everything grows!Grumbles - well, Ryobi instructions are basically pictures only plus a few words - but I am familiar with Chainsaws , which is what this is - a mini chainsaw - and have already adjusted the Pruner chain (as you would need to after a first use). However many buyers, possible converts away from petrol/electric corded garden power tools may struggle with understanding their new purchase and crucially how to maintain as best possible. Maintenance is easy, like everything when you know how. eg make sure you ensure that the chain oil always topped up - Ryobi give you a small bottle which I used today alone. Wipe the chain afterwards with oil and carefully replace the plastic scabbard over the chain. It just needs some care whether taking off or putting back on afterwards.Ryobi do need to improve their instructions which mainly consist of health and safety. A few words would be good to explain/support the pictures - how you do it... but like many global selling manufacturers products, words are being dropped to save translations presumably.The Pruner was simple to assemble. (I had challenges with the Ryobi brush cutter though where you had to put on a nut Anticlockwise to tighten - seemed unnatural but then I realised that was what the picture was showing me ).The Pruner easily cuts branches that are 4-6 inches, steady as you go supporting the tool....... It does what it claims. Even without the extension you can get pretty high wood etc.My 4 amp battery will last ages when fully charged.This will get a lot of use, I think it will last and at around £90 is good value in my view.

amazing value for money, was quoted £250 to trim 2 out of shape trees and this done it, with 4 hours work, easily. and now i own it. great tool, easy to set up, heavy on the arms though.

Lovely piece of quality made kit but it is large and very heavy. I would have liked to be able to use as a hand held trimmer but that's not possible. The shortest is still about 4 ft and quite awkward.

This pruner comes in three sections, motor at the top, an intermediate optional section in the middle and the battery and trigger at the bottom enabling it to be used at two lengths. The pole itself appears to be made of a glass reinforced plastic tube with the connectors riveted in place, this makes the pole a bit wobbly particularly at the joints and I would suspect this is where any failure would occur either structurally or electrically, time will tell on that one.I have used mine with the 5.0AH lithium battery pack and found it very effective trimming back some very large branches about 150mm dia. which is much more than it was designed for. Battery life is good & it kept going all day on the same battery pack.The chain oiler is irritating as this is a simple drip feed, the saw needs to be used, transported and stored in the upright position otherwise the oil will trickle out . If you lay the saw down even for a short while it will dribble oil as soon as you pick it up, usually all over the operative, keep it upright and its OK.Generally its a very good piece of kit, its light enough to use easily but has enough weight on the head to achieve a good cut without having to apply additional pressure providing the chain is sharp, but that applies to all chainsaws.If you already have the Ryobi battery pack this pruner is a no brainer, its good value for the money and does exactly what it was designed for, yes the oil can be messy but its manageable, would I buy it again ? Definitely.

Let's face it, wrangling a ladder and a chainsaw to trim those out-of-reach branches is a pain. Enter the Ryobi Cordless Pole Pruner, my new best friend for sky-high yard work.This little beast extends up to 4 meters, which means I can ditch the ladder (hallelujah!) and reach branches that would normally require some serious acrobatics. Plus, it's cordless, so no more detangling myself from extension cords like a jungle explorer.Power-wise, it packs a punch with a high-torque motor and a sharp 20cm Oregon chain. Most branches don't stand a chance, although I wouldn't recommend it for tree trunks (unless you're looking for some serious arm exercise).Now, here's the thing: battery life can be a bit of a gamble. Depending on the size of the job and the battery you're using, you might need a spare. Also, if you're tackling monster branches, this pruner might whimper a bit. But for most homeowners like me, it's just right.Overall, this Ryobi pruner is a lifesaver for keeping my trees in check without the ladder dance. It's easy to use, convenient, and gets the job done. Just keep in mind the battery situation and branch thickness, and you're golden.P.S. It's plastic, not metal, so don't go crazy Tarzan swinging from the trees with it.

Absolutely fantastic. I have Ryobi everything as the batteries are interchangeable. I could attach the leyandii hedge properly.

I already have a Ryobi Expand-It pole saw, and liked it apart from the fact I can never get the two stroke engine to start, and once running to stay running. In frustration I decided to give this One+ pole saw a try, and I am SO glad I did.The Expand-It engine made a frightful din, and the vibrations would send my hand numb. By comparison the One+ saw is lighter, quiet in operation, and cuts through boughs just as well, and with the extension pole it is longer as well for those hard to reach branches.I only have the small 1.3Ah battery, but it is quite adequate to get a substantial amount of work done.I have only two small gripes. Firstly despite the manual being half an inch thick in 20 odd languages. It does not actually tell you anything useful, like how to tension the chain or take the scabbard off. Secondly getting the scabbard off is really hard. A little plastic stud has to be forced over the bar. There is a real danger of cutting your hand trying to force it off. I cut the stud shorter to make it easier.My Expand-It pole saw is now up for sale.

Works as advertised

Potatore elettrico senza fili marca Ryobi, da completare con le batterie da 18V (non incluse). Leggero e comodo da usare. Personalmente ho mandato in pensione il potatore a benzina! Consigliato a chi cerca qualcosa di pratico, conveniente soprattutto per chi ha già prodotti Ryobi in modo da poter spalmare il prezzo delle batterie su più prodotti

comme tous les outils ryobi , leur intérêt est dans leurs batteries interchangeables . ce qui fait que quand on a beaucoup d'outils cela devient très très pratique.cet élagueur et le plus pratique et efficace que j'ai dans la gamme ryobi.il remplace un élagueur avec FIL ryobi qui avait quelques défauts dont notamment la chaine qui sautait trop régulièrement.... le système a été amélioré sur celui-ci même si le problème arrive de temps en temps...sinon pour l'efficacité il n'a rien a dire... ça coupe comme dans du beurre à 3 mètres de haut, des branches mêmes bien épaisses, c'est assez bluffant... après il faudra changer la chaine de temps en temps pour garder une telle efficacité.l’élagueur est même assez léger, on peu le tenir en bout de bras sans trop se fatiguer.pour moi qui ai beaucoup d'arbres à élaguer , c'est un outil indispensable, et ravi depuis que je l'ai, je le recommande plus que vivementvive le sans fil !!

Folgende zwei Nachteile müssen benannt werden:durch Undichtigkeit Kettenoelabgang während der Laherung und hohes Gewicht.Die Sache mit dem besagten Kettenoelabgang ist dem Hersteller bekannt, dennoch ist man unfähig, das in den Griff zu bekommen.Dennoch 5 Sterne, weil die Säge super gut funktioniert und der 4,0 Ah-Akku sehr lange durchhält.Die hohe Qualität des teuren Ryobi-Akkus macht sich also bezahlt. Wer schon einmal mit dem Billig-Schrott und den schwachbrüstigen Billig-Akkus der Supermarktketten gearbeitet hat, weiß, wovon ich rede.Da nehme ich die beiden Nachteile gerne in Kauf.Die automatische Ölzuführung dosiert viel zu hoch! Das überschüssige Öl geht im Betrieb tropfenweise ab und versaut die Umwelt. Sofort nach jedem Betrieb muß das Öl abgelassen werden, sowie die Kette und der gesamte Kettenbereich unterhalb der grauen Kunststoffabdeckung vom überschüssigem Öl entölt werden. Grund: die Säge verliert auch in Ruhezeiten permanent etwas Öl !!! Ohne die beschriebene Maßnahme wird der Lagerort unabhängig von der Lageposition in jedem Fall reichlich zugeölt !!!Mit dem 4,0 Ah-Akku (ein kleinerer Akku ist sinnlos, weil schnell entleert !!!) und dem Gestänge wiegt die gesamte Apparatur 4,250 kg. Die Säge mit ihrem fest montierten Stangenteil wiegt 2,025 kg. Da sie sich am Ende einer langen Stange befindet, macht sich das Gewicht bedingt durch das physikalische Hebelgesetz am anderen Ende der Stange heftigst bemerkbar, auch wenn die Gewichtsangaben auf den ersten Blick nicht so hoch erscheinen! Die Säge ist derartig schwer zu handeln, daß sie am besten mit zwei Personen verwendet wird. Einer packt in der Stabmitte an und führt die Säge an das Objekt und ein Zweiter packt am Ende des Stabes an und erledigt das Ein-/Ausstellen. Auf Grund des Hebelgesetzes ist das Handling von der Stabmitte aus natürlich wesentlich leichter. Wenn einer allein am untersten Ende anpackt und das Gerät vom Boden aus zum Ast hochhebt, dann ist das wirklich unzumutbar schwer. Die Säge ist so schwer, daß sich der Stab in der waagerechten Position leicht durchbiegt. Verlängert man mit ein oder zwei nachgekauften Mittelteilen, dann wird der Stab in dieser Position fast zu einem U. Also auf jeden Fall sollte man es bei der dreiteiligen Stab-Garnitur belassen.Ansonsten handelt es sich sowohl bei der Säge als auch beim Akku um eine hervorragende Qualität. Die Säge geht durch jede Holzart durch wie Butter.Die hohe Qualität der Säge und des starken 4.0 Ah-Akkus schlagen sich natürlich im Gewicht nieder. Damit muß man eben leben.
