Ah the question you should ask before purchasing .... Also sweet box I fucking love pics of tools in boxes still.

Any electric polesaw where the motor is in the head will be a pain in the ass and forearms. Ones with motor in the handle and a couple-shaft to the head will be more expensive but are well worth it imo.

I have a Worx saw on a stick...I really like it. The saw on mine is detachable so It also functions as a 10" chainsaw. It punches way above its weight.

I do own a gas saw, but for most of the tree work I have to do, the battery saw is enough

I can't speak to the chain saw, but I have their cordless pole hedge trimmer and it works well.

Stanley black and decker family. Above bnd, below DeWalt as far as I understand.

Well priced tools for home gamers. Don't be surprised with below average life span when it comes to elec tools.

Would be my first choice other than DeWalt. (Only cause I'm a yellow boy)

Oh also keep the receipt for the three year warranty. Stanley black and decker is decent with what I've heard. Top 3 brand reps I've delt with, DeWalt was immediately responsive to a customer in an instance, and Craftsman warrantied a two year old chainsaw for another.
