Milwaukee, like Ryobi, is owned by Techtronic Industries Power Equipment, which means the A+ BBB rating and accreditation are in its favor, but those negative reviews are still worth considering. Plus, Milwaukee Tool has its own BBB page — it’s not accredited and has a B- rating.
However, the relatively low number of customer complaints via BBB is what makes Milwaukee the best pole saw brand on our list: Only 90 complaints are attached to Milwaukee products specifically. Compared to other brands with hundreds of complaints and dozens of negative customer reviews, Milwaukee’s lack of negatives is impressive.
Not only that, but after 100 years in business, Milwaukee tools have evolved to include cordless options, lithium batteries, and One-Key inventory systems for crews with tons of tools. The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Telescoping Pole Saw receives rave reviews, though it’s pricey even without the battery and charger included.
Milwaukee is also hands-down the best-reviewed pole saw brand, based on The Home Depot’s customer reviews. Pages of Milwaukee pole saws populate the retailer’s “top rated” selection, with many of its more affordable pole saws (around $229 to $279) receiving near-five-star ratings. Milwaukee’s equipment bundles also receive thousands of positive reviews at an affordable price (under $800).
Milwaukee’s customer service might be annoying, especially if the parent company takes things over. However, even bearing that in mind, Milwaukee seems like the best option on the market for a pole saw.
