BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Pole Saw Kit — 14 ft Reach, 8" Bar, Battery & Charger Included

The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Pole Saw Kit (LPP120) is a battery-powered pole chainsaw that reaches up to 14 ft to trim branches without a ladder, and includes battery, charger, oil bottle, wrench and blade guard.

If you need a lightweight, cordless solution to prune limbs, clear overgrown hedges, or remove small branches from trees, this BLACK+DECKER pole saw combines reach, portability and a 20V MAX lithium-ion battery for yard work with no direct emissions. Designed for homeowners and property maintenance tasks, the LPP120 offers an in-line power head for better visibility while cutting and disassembles for compact storage. Typical performance claims include the ability to make up to 100 cuts of 1-1/2" pine branches per charge and a cutting speed of approximately 375 feet per minute.

How far can I reach and what cutting size will it handle?

The pole saw extends to two usable lengths: 6.5 ft and 10 ft, giving a maximum overhead reach of about 14 ft. It uses an 8-inch cutting bar and chain for everyday yard trimming and can handle limbs up to roughly 6 inches in diameter when used correctly.

• Two-length center extension for 6.5 ft or 10 ft usable pole
• Up to 14 ft overhead reach for branches without a ladder
• 8-inch bar and chain for cuts up to about 6 inches thick
• Rated for repetitive 1-1/2" pine branch cuts—about 100 per full charge

What does the battery perform like and how long will it run?

The kit includes a 20V MAX lithium-ion battery and charger that retain charge well and deliver steady power for routine trimming. On a full charge you can expect up to roughly 100 cuts of 1-1/2" pine branches; actual runtime depends on branch density, wood type and cutting technique.

• 20V MAX lithium-ion battery included with charger
• Long idle charge retention compared with older NiCd batteries
• Estimated 100 small-branch cuts per charge under test conditions
• Part of the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX system for battery interchangeability

How easy is it to use and maintain day-to-day?

The LPP120 is designed for homeowner convenience: it’s lightweight for overhead work, the in-line power head improves maneuverability and sight lines, and the unit breaks down for storage or transport. Routine upkeep is simple—periodic chain sharpening or replacement and adding bar oil keep the tool performing reliably.

• Lightweight design reduces arm fatigue during extended use
• In-line power head improves visibility between branches while cutting
• Tool disassembles into sections for compact storage and transport
• Includes oil bottle, wrench and blade guard for maintenance and protection

Is this safe for non-professional users and what accessories are included?

While no power tool is risk-free, the pole saw is made for homeowner use with user-friendly features and safety accessories included. Follow the operator manual, wear eye and head protection, and never operate from a ladder—use the reach the pole provides instead.

• Includes battery, charger, oil bottle, wrench and blade guard
• Replacement chain model RC800 is available for service
• Zero on-site emissions compared to gas models—easier start-up and maintenance
• Intended for above-ground trimming; keep bystanders clear during operation

Who is this for: The BLACK+DECKER LPP120 pole saw is aimed at homeowners, renters with trees or large shrubs, and small-property stewards who want a cordless, low-maintenance tool for routine pruning and light branch removal. It’s a practical choice if you prefer battery convenience, need extended reach without a ladder, and value a compact unit that stores easily. For heavier commercial tree work, a larger bar, more powerful motor, or professional-grade equipment may be more appropriate.
