I purchased this saw years ago to trim orange tree in FL my 2nd home. Used it 1 time.

The next winter upon arrival tree had a blight and was dead. I planted a palm. Now 6-7 yrs later I got out the saw for it's 2nd use. On the extension pole ,the saw is dead.

Direct connect to electric the saw works great. The pole is dead. I need a new pole. Customer service a joke.

1 hr wait still no agent. I am a huge Remington Arms fan. Power tools...garbage waste of money poor to non existent customer service. Very sad and disappointed not to mention lost $'s The photos alone show this is a like new item.

Sitting in my garage unable to be used. I have owners manual still new but I cannot locate the receipt. I thought it might be w/manual but is not.

The photos, model, serial should be proof. I register all of my tools at time of purchase.

My pole saw extension pole does not work but saw works on it's owned

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Was not taken seriously about my problem I have many products of Remington the pole saw was only used about six times over a three year period and quit working the saw works by it self but no when you hook it up to the pole. I asked if I could send the pole part back so they could fix it and they said no way, but they would replace it for around $100.00 I might as well buy a new one. I will still buy Remington products but not a pole saw.

Lousy Pole Saw Supply

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased a Ranger II RM1035P pole saw several years ago and had good service from it. Recently, my nephew broke it beyond repair, so I looked immediately to get another one.

No dealer had it in stock: Home Depot, Lowe's, Northern Freight, True Value---no one.

Not even Amazon had it in stock. But the Remington Power Tools website cheerfully advised me to check all these and other sources for the item---and all of them were "out of stock."

So, after some researching of brands, user reviews, prices, functionality, and apparent quality, I found what appears to be a comparable saw from another manufacturer on Amazon and just bought it. Others undoubtedly have been disgusted at this breezy Remington website babbling about the wonders of Remington pole saws that are not available.

Who knows how many sales they have lost.

Tough luck for Remington. No reason for me to go back, ever, if I like this new one, and there I was, ready to buy and Remington blocked the way.

User's recommendation: I'd be very wary. It does not bode if everyone else can supply something and Remington suddenly can't.

Bad chainsaw?

Wouldn't start and when it finally did, it wouldn't stay running. So I cleaned out the carburator and I'm going to replace the gas. I'll let you know if I am still having problems.

Technical assistance for pole trimmer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I contacted the company for assistance with an electric pole trimmer that wasn't working. The number provided on the Remington website wasn't working properly, as it would not let me select a language to proceed to the next menu. After routing through pissed consumer I got a response within 24 hours. However, the response was not helpful. Remington was bought by MDI and stopped providing service or warranty to it's products, so I'm SOL.

Worthless Pole Saw (Ranger 2)

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have bought three of these over the years. The first two malfunctioned just after the warranty period. The third one had a defective pole -- no power. Closest authorized repair dealer is 4-hr RT. Would cost $44 in tolls, ferries, gas + parking half the cost of the pole saw! Filed a case with MTD, but no response in more than a week.

Cons:
  • Malfunctions or defective mtd horrible customer service

Preferred solution: Get MTD to respond (ref:_00DA0hHew._5002Gwd42v:ref). Send prepaid postage + box for defective pole, so I don't have to travel for 4 hrs + spend $44+, almost 1/2 the cost of device, to send pole to repair center. Send free replacement.

User's recommendation: Don't buy this worthless pole saw

All 3 service centers you sent me to never worked on and don't service Remington tools. There apparently are no Remington tools service centers in Northern Virginia.

User's recommendation: Don't buy power tools from Remington. They apparently don't have an adequate customer service/support system and apparently have gone to great lengths in order to insulate themselves from customer warranty claims.
