MILWAUKEE, WI – Continuing with their dedication to the professional tree service industry, Milwaukee Tool announces the new M18 FUEL™ Telescoping Pole Saw. Designed with a user-demanded feature set, this battery-operated pole saw is faster than 36cc gas and delivers the power to cut hardwoods while eliminating the headaches associated with gas.

“Milwaukee’s commitment to the tree service professional continues to fuel our drive to disrupt and innovate in this space,” explains Tony Buxton, Director of Product Marketing for Milwaukee Tool. “Working on the ground with industry professionals across the country, we have seen the compromises in power, efficiency, and safety commonly made with pole saws in order to get the job done. With the development and introduction of our M18 FUEL™ Telescoping Pole Saw, we are eliminating the trade-offs, providing professionals with increased productivity and efficiency on the job without compromise.”

Driving cut speeds up to 30% faster than the leading gas competitor, the new M18 FUEL™ Telescoping Pole Saw is the fastest cutting pole saw in the industry. Utilizing the power of FUEL™ technology, the saw reaches full throttle under one second, increasing productivity for professionals on the job.
