You have to be careful.... It cuts very well and you can create hours worth of work picking up and hauling in 15 minutes of cutting lol. Balance could be a little better, I used a 5ah battery and wasn't to bad. You'll want to use a bigger battery to help balance it.

Some of the reviews mentioned that, otherwise great reviews.
I also have a "manual" pole saw. It's work and it works, but it's terribly hard to get a nice undercut and can end up injuring the tree.
I have the same dewalt pole saw, cut lots and lots of limbs and it asks for more, still on the original chain but have a spare. It ran surprisingly long on a puny 2ah battery, but your arms will get tired before a 5ah runs out.
Chuck a 1/4 extension in your drill and run it both ways a few times to break it in.
Got a knock-off boot for my 2854. Was under $13 on ebay. Actual Milwaukee boots are about $40.
Some reviews said it seems identical to genuine except for the lack of Milwaukee logos, and I would tend to agree. I thought fit might be poor but it's great. Rubber is soft and pliable.
I'm not necessarily excited about supporting knock-offs, but I feel no guilt here because Milwaukee's prices on any of their boots have always been exorbitant.

IPS slip joint extended "hyper long" narrow pliers, from amazon.co.jp. They seem like good quality but I'm not familiar with the brand. And I don't speaka the language so i cant read the package.

I just bought this exact tool a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. Still waiting to use it.
I just looked at one today at the local hardware store. They had it on sale for $199 with a battery. I will probably pick it up before the sale ends.
Super inexpensive valve stem installer from China. I like the concept and theoretical fulcrum, but suspect the plastic handle or tiny pivot pin will fail.
And ZK Tool 3.6 timing set tool. Sans their fancy case makes it ~$10 cheaper (didn't want the case anyway)

I was asked to post the tail stock I came up with so here it is.
I used brass 3/8 coarse threaded rod and 2 quarter inch air tool plugs, cut down and threaded. Also I threaded the tail stock aluminum section to accommodate the quarter inch pipe thread of the air tool plugs.
Used an additional quarter inch air tool plug, for the tail stock part it's sort of a bushing bearing type affair I may come up with a ball bearing later roller bearings.
The kind they the size they use on a Delta 14 inch bandsaw for the guides that should work out nicely.
See photos.

Just picked up a new Hyper Tough 36" pry bar on clearance. It's hard to resist USA-made tools at half price!
Good score! I searched my app and saw that my store had it, and also a breaker bar for $6. I dropped my daughter off at dance and then went across the street to Walmart, but now everything is showing full price. :-(
They are full price in my store but show clearance online.
Edit:
Doh! I see that the clearance prices are now gone!! They were still there 60 min ago...

I have 12 bearings that need to be installed on a bicycle and I’ll take any excuse I can to buy a new tool so here we have a bearing press kit from Amazon. Finely crafted in China I’m sure but seems really nice.
The markings indicating which bearings each bushing fits is a nice touch.
