Holy smokes! He dropped over a CAN$ 1000.00 for that thing, with a
spare blade and chain, a few other things. The handle is heated so it
is easier to operate with a thinner glove. The carb also has pre-heat
of some sort which makes starting real easy in the cold. He's a
surveyor and uses it to chop down stuff in the way of his instruments
when he lays out monument systems. He's often used another saw, a
Husky with similar features and liked it just as much. Must be a
Festool vs Fein thing. Good stuff is good stuff. Period.
Good luck with yours..and get some of those chaps, my buddy won't open
the case without them on his legs. Makes a whole lot of sense to me.

Thanks for the follow up. The particular model I am looking at
doesn't have any cool pre-heating, and I got a chuckle out of reading
about it. If it gets in the twenties here, it is considered a natural
disaster, so preheating isn't really necessary.

I was glad to see some good news on Husky.
