Thank you

there is no "S" on brands in this question. There is only ONE brand of
chainsaw. STIHL. the rest are toys.

I can't believe all the nonsense I'm reading in these responses. None
of you have any idea
what the guy wants a chain saw for, and to insist -- without knowing
this -- that he simply must
have a Stihl, is simply idiotic.

If he heats with wood, and will be using the saw for six hours every
weekend cutting
firewood, then, yes, he probably needs a Stihl.

If he's a typical homeowner who's only going to use it for a few
hours a year, *any* chain
saw will do _just_fine_.

yeah, _IF_ it'll start when he needs it. And _IF_ the chain doesn't
break and slap the **** out of his arm. and and and.....


What makes you imagine that a chain wouldn't have the courage the break
on a ("holy") Stihl ??



I've never seen it happen. With 5 Stihls, 30+ years and hundreds of
cords of Osage Orange (hedge) cut.
