I'd be interested in any experience with various brands of

I have a 40 year old Stihl 031AV and it's giving me headaches.
Plus with the electric, for small jobs no need to screw around
getting the gas thing started. Looking for something to
supplement it, maybe $100 or so?

Remington 12"- on a pole, but it comes off easy.

Here's a 10" for $100-- I think I got my 12" from Harbor Freight for
a little less than that.

Advantage of a 10" on that pole is weight-- That thing is unwieldy--
but damn handy.

If I wasn't interested in the pole, I'd get a 16- more for the extra
amps than the length of the bar.

I've had 2 Remington in the past decade & both are good tools, in my
opinion. I don't cut firewood but have cleaned up a lot of trees,
branches and brush with them.

I have to 2nd that about the unit on the pole. It works very well for
trimming those branches you just can't reach ... plus the saw comes off
for semi-portable (with cord) use.
