Agreed. Go for a Husky! I recently bought the Husky 350 w/18" bar
through Sears. They sent the first one UPS and it came in the retail box,
no outer box. In addition it had a cracked handle. So Sear had to order a
new one, which I requested come to the store. I assumed that Sears receives
incoming shipments on pallets. The saw arrived and I brought the broken one
in for a credit.

I second that. Either a Husky or a Stihl. My dad bought a Craftsman chainsaw
and after a year or so some of the inner gears in the engine were worn out
because they were made of plastic. It was more expensive to repair the saw than
to replace it. He swore he'd never again buy a Craftsman chainsaw.
You get what you pay for. Buy a Husky or a Stihl.
