so I've got the new ego ps1000e telescopic pole pruner we got three bits of Kit we're gonna whack
it together give it a good test and see what it's all about tested by Machinery Nation so
ego Don't Do Anything by halves the total length of this machine is four meters that is huge but
it doesn't feel heavy because you've got carbon fiber shafts and it's telescopic so what makes
this a little bit different to the competitors on the market is this is telescopic but it's also
collapsible so what we can do is we can break this down into three fundamental parts so firstly we'll
come up this end and we'll take the motor unit off with the bar and chain the business ends as such
so we'll take that one out we'll then work our way down we've got the extension shaft
which again carbon fiber really really light and then we've got the motor unit which is in
its collapsible State at the moment but also can be extended so really nice and easy to store and
also for professional users running around in trucks and vans and such like it's nice that
it can all be collapsible so we're down at the business end the motor unit which drives a chain
now this machine is fitted with a quarter inch picot chain so it's really really fine it'll give
you a really nice Cut speed that cut speed is 20 meters per second another key feature you've
got with this one is the quick chain tensioning assembly now ego have actually put this assembly
on a lot of their newer chainsaws so it's nice and easy to swap the chains over when you come
back to it you don't need a tool to tension it literally it's as simple as turning the knob
and it will do it up as tight as it needs to be so eager fitted the light assembly to the motor
and just remember the light is an indicator as to where you're
cutting it is in line with the guide bar to light up those dark areas in the canopy
so you've got self-lubricating chain and as you can see the visibility on the Chain
Reservoir is really really clear so the other big thing with this like the ppcx
there's electrical connections that run through the shaft this means it's easy
to connect up and you've got no lack of power from drive shafts going to the motor
so working our way down the tool we come to the telescopic part you've got a quick easy
catch so it means you can extend it by up to 60 centimeters and coming down to the trigger end
we're going to use a 4 amp hour battery today same with a lot of the other ego tools you just
slip the battery in and it clicks into place like so being that we're using the 4 amp hour
battery we're not going to compromise on the run time and also we're going to keep weight
down to a minimum as well you've got a nice soft grip handle with two-stage trigger so one thing
that is really noticeable even before you use a machine it's picking up and seeing how light it
is I've got the battery in here is it already at four meters in length and it actually feels
really really good in the hand now we've got some dead wood down in the woods we've
got some Ash and we've got some limbs that we're going to take down so we're going to
put it through its paces and see if it's as good as the ppcx in the range currently and
just remember this is part of the professional range so it comes with two-year Pro warranty wow
wow
