Dislike

I prefer a full wrap handle on large saws. I think its safer and more versatile. You don't have to cut with the top of the bar unless you want to, when making cuts from the same side of the tree. You have more hand options to reduce fatigue on big trees and it's easier to cut right and left handed. The drawbacks are full wrap handles make a saw heavier and people say that you can't stump cut low enough.

Love, for logging, for the reasons Landon mentioned.
Hate, for residential tree work, because you can't flush stumps and can't cut in tight corners or crotches, as we often have to do.

I prefer a full wrap for use up a tree but on the ground it leaves the stump higher which is dreadful if stump grinding has to be done.

They can't get stump super low,I actually like them for that reason ,keeps my chain out the dirt,customers want lower cut or stump out,gotta pay!!
