Sun Joe 24V-GTS4004-XT 24V IONMAX Blower,Hedge Trimmer & 8-in Pole Saw Kit w/2x24V 2.0-Ah Batt, Charger & Pole

Just received this item. Tried each attachment and they all work well. This is lighter than I thought which makes it pretty good. I also purchased a Sun Joe corded hedge trimmer that is very top heavy, but between the two should make for some interesting trimming.The battery appears to be pretty good , did not use it that long to see how long it will last.I did go to Sun Joe's web site and registered the products and they had a 5.0 AH battery on sale I purchased two of themnormally a $99 a piece battery for only $39 a piece was a Great dealThe oil that came with the system is thin and not chainsaw bar oil, appears to be for the hedge trimmer so one will have to buy bar oil to use the chainsaw attachment., which btw works really well and is not very heavy at all .But trimming and pruning season will be a real test for this system and once I use them for awhile I will see just how well it lasts and how well the battery life is. Will update this review after it is over . Hopefully it will not wear me out as much as my other sourced equipmentUpdate 9/27/23got to use this tool system . First used to cut/prune an old apple tree and Cherry tree that needed some real cutting. Had dead limbs and some large limbs that needed removed. I must say the pole saw with this unit cuts very very well . Cut a few limbs that were over 6 inches in diameter . IT cit them very easily and very smooth . I must admit I was surprised at the power this battery operated pole saw has. I still have more cutting to do,but now I know what it can do, it will make the rest of the job much easier.Next was the hedge trimmer, used on some Hemlock trees and they are very tall, way to tall to cut them with this telescopic hedge trimmer, but reaching up as High as I could I trimmed a little over 1/2 way up the tree's , I am impressed also how light this tool is and how well it cuts . I have no complaints about this tool system, IF i had one grip it would be I wish the pole was able to extend further than it does, but still a pretty good reach as is .The battery I purchased a 5.0 Ah SnowJoe battery worked for over 2 hours before the first light went out, I estimate had I continued using it and allowed it to entirely run down I assume I could have gotten 4 to 5 hours or more on one battery and that is with heavy use ( pole saw and hedge trimming work )I have more such work to do and I will update again and let everyone know a more precise time on the larger battery . The 2.0 battery it cane with I would assume would last at least a couple hours or more, but these 5.0 batts i purchased are far more than enough to get most all jobs done and have battery left .further updates soon

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted an all in one, telescoping tool. This is a little top heavy

First off. This is a tool for LIGHT yardwark, not heavy duty landscaping projects. If that is what you're doing then this is the wrong place for you. Second, it is NOT heavy at all. My Weedeater brand curved weedeater (smallest you could get) is three times this tools weight, so it is light. If you think it is then you probably shouldn't be doing any yardwork.The trimmer works. I'd say the only bad part is the auto feed feature. It pays out line each time you stop the motor. So if you stop and start all the time you will use up the spool quickly. The line is thin but it does cut and, yes, the spools are reloadable and. 055, .050, .065 line IS available.The chainsaw is going to leak bar oil, all chainsaw bars are designed to dribble oil onto the bar. So, for me, it's working fine. It will probably cut up to 2.5 to 3 inch branches, but I wouldn't go much further than that. The chain, as with all chainsaws needs proper tensioning or its going to slip off.I haven't used the hedge clipper yet. I have a wisteria arbor that needs a haircut every so often so that will be a good test for it. And that's what it's designed for, hard to reach places, if you have waist high hedges, you'd be better using a regular hedge clipper.I can't say too much about the battery lifetime because I just got it. I can get about a half hour out it before changing batteries. And the batteries need proper storage in the winter. If they go bad and I have to replace them, so be it, with the price of gas and oil these days, it will probably balance out.Now, the tools are ok, but they are NOT pro grade equipment. Don't expect that if you purchase it. So, as with everything, use common sense when making a purchase on anything.Be safe, and enjoy.

I used to use gas tools but hated the maintenance. I switched to electric but hated the extension cord. I was worried about switching to battery, but after a month and three uses, I couldn’t be happier.The hedge trimmer has worked great on a wide variety of hedges and shrubs. It comes with light lubricant, which I appreciated not having to buy separately. The extension works well for tall shrubs, but it slips a little and I had to re-set it a few times. I didn’t realize how much I bent over when hedge trimming. The extension means no more stooping, which might be my favorite thing! Also, the adjustable angles made it much easier to cut how I want. And no more snipping my extension cords.When branches were too thick for the trimmer, I swapped out for the chainsaw. It worked very well. You need to buy your bar oil separately, but I already have some, so that didn’t bother me.The weed whacker line is very thin, but gets the job done on grass and light weeds. For some thicker stuff I switched to the hedge trimmer, adjusted the angle, and used it like an electric scythe. That sliced through even thicker stuff than my old gas weed whacker. Again, the extension means that I don’t have to stoop while weed whacking, which is so much less tiring. Also I like the wheel and twisting the head for edging the grass. And the auto feed works well to keep the line length. I haven’t had to replace the line yet, so I can’t comment on that, other than the manual recommends you buy their pre-wound spools to support the auto-feed.Battery life has been good so far. I’ve used for up to 45 minutes straight without losing power. Recharge is fast and easy. I cut for a while then recharge while I’m bagging then cut some more.Don’t know how many years there battery will last, so I’ve been considering getting another at about $50.
