Who would take the gamble?

Where do you get it serviced?

Hey Tom, the saws are husky clones, husky parts will fit.

Yeah, that's what we need. To buy more Chinese junk. Go for it and let us know how it goes.

 

[Rickytree]

I will. Might be a bit, but will post. Talk to seller today and he said sold about 600 so far and no real problems. pull start came off ... other than that , not much. But he is selling them and trying to sell them. For the price which is 550 Canadian, can't go wrong. Better than the 750 that I guy I know gets them for. Around here they are 1000 or so..

Those with closed eyes with fear don't go far.

External parts may fit...may not.

There was a Chinese rip-off of a Stihl a few years ago. there weren't many good things said about them.

I'd be more confident in a used genuine saw than a brand new copy no matter where it was made.

Seems like a seriously bad idea. Must be violating a few international patents. If the knock-off lets you down at the wrong time it could cost you way more time and money than you saved on the purchase.

This reminds me of the thousands of storm damaged vehicles from Hurricane Sandy (submerged in salt water) that have been cleaned up and are currently being re-sold thoughout the U.S. Look great on the lot, great sticker price, suck to own.

I am still going to order at least one and try it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
