Features
Lightweight and Balanced
The Nimbler is designed to cut branches at height and so it is essential that it is comfortable and easy to use. This is achieved by locating the batteries stored within the body of the Nimbler and ensuring the chain is also in line with the handles.
Large 8" / 200mm Chain length
With chainsaws the size of log that you can cut is determined by the length of your chain. The long 8" blade of the Nimbler therefore allows the tool to cut through sizable branches quickly and easily.
USB Type C Charging
It is a great idea that the charging system for the Nimbler uses the common USB type C interface for charging. You do not have to worry about losing a charger as any type C cable will work. Just to be sure though, the Nimbler is supplied with its own USB charging cable. The Nimbler can even be charged using a power bank in the field.
Simply Two Stage Operation
It is important for any tool that safety comes first and for the Nimbler this means that you can only activate the chain if two buttons are pressed simultaneously. If you let go of either button then the tool will stop working.
Charge Indicator
A useful feature on the Nimbler Pole Saw is the ability to see the amount of charge left in the batteries.
Chain Cover Included
A plastic chain cover is included with the Nimbler to help protect the blade when it is stored or during transportation.

Operating Manual
I initially used this saw to remove about 15 dead branches from a large apple tree. It made light work of anything up to 5 inches in diameter and the largest i cut was about 7 inches . It was very easy to use even when i had it raised up above my head since it doesn't weigh much . It also has a hook near the blade end so you can pull the branches down once you have cut them .
For thicker branches it helps to use a slow chopping motion when cutting as it will occasionally get clogged with saw dust . This is very quickly resolved by removing the saw from the cut briefly .
I also used it to prune the top branches of a large bush and also to chop down a small tree which took no time at all !
The battery lasted over 30 mins of continual use and then took about 90 minutes to charge using a standard usb c charger. I did all this work work without the use of a ladder and I reckon i did it in a third of the time it would have taken me otherwise.
Overall i think this is fantastic saw for a very reasonable price and I would thoroughly recommend it !
