Thread: Considering a new Stihl chansaw

Here's my take on saws.
I have been using saws 5 days a week for 40 yrs.
I have owned most common brands.
I really rate the small shindaiwa the 352s inperticular as have been using them for years fencing.bomb proof and perform.
I had 3 big stihls stolen a couple of months ago and with the insurance thought long and hard about what to buy.
I had a couple of big bars for an 880 so that was a no brainer, got a minter for 2k of TM.
Decided not to get a 661 but got the 461 as my 460 that got stolen was my favorite saw and am not disappointed with the 461.
I then wanted a saw for the post driver for pointing and decided on the latest autotune 362.
Very impressed thus far as plenty of power and light to use.
I had enough left over to buy the latest stihl 200c battery saw and man I am impressed with that.
I did 7 stays with it and it still had half it's battery left.
Really convenient to use when doing rails as has a really fine chain for a nice finish.
I reckon husky and jonserd have gone backwards in their build and reliability and I have bought oleomac and never again.
I bought a $200 Chinese 50cc saw which I lend to my mates which actually goes not to bad.
I quite enjoyed restocking my stolen saw supply as that will last me till my 3 boys are fighting over the stihls as they are screwing the lid down!
