Reply With QuoteHmm... this is exactly what I need. I was thinking about going with a Husky but I can't afford the outlay right at the moment however I have a few jobs which need pursuing very soon so I might just get one of these little things.

Hi all,
could`nt resist at the price $99.
Thought Id try a little experiment. I have used a lot of chainsaws over the years and really dont expect this 1,2 last like the quality brands but the price diff is getting redic. Its really designed as a small pruning saw but it could be very handy 4 bush camping & 4x4ing. I used it 4 the first time yesterday & it ran fine. Its extremely compact but with a thumping 25ccdonk its hardly a power house, although with a sharp chain & a few strategic cuts u might be suprised what u might get through in a bind.
The design with the handle over the motor makes it very convienient 2 use & because of the lower power kickback would be at the lower end of the scale.
The other (orange) saw in the pic is an echo 35cc model but costs closer 2 $700 just 2 give u a comparo.
Anyone interesed can purchse them from (u guessed it) Bunnings. A new chainsaw 4 less than a tank of fuel, I could`nt resist,maybe Im just a sucker, time will tell

I bought a small saw for a job a couple of weeks ago. I needed a small saw I could climb up a ladder with and my 042 and 066 were not suitable. I could not bring myself to buy anything from Bunnings and bought a good 12" Husquavarna for around $250 on special from the local dealer.

Funny I bought one last weekend. I thought I'd throw it in the back for fire wood and just incase we have a fallen tree accros our path. It was so cheep that if it dies I'll just throw it away!

We have two of these chainsaw's and they are bloody great cut like a champion, top quality chain, we have cut alot of big tree's up with these saw's and they are still going strong.
For around $150 including postage you can't go wrong!!

That also sounds like good value but I thought I`d give this a mention particuarly 4 its compact size, U know us D1 drivers , its always a struggle with storage spaceOriginally Posted by long stroke

My other gripe with the expensive brands is that the parts can even be more expensive. 4 example , 2 replace the pull start on a shidawa blower will cost u more than the chinese copy I MEAN THE WHOLE MACHINE

You pay for what you get.
A chain for my Baby saw is $51.00
The 125cc monster is $100.
Yours is great for pruning and firewood,when it dies grab a newby.
Ask for a local AULROian to show you how to sharpen a chainsaw.It easy enough but someting you need to be shown how to do!!!!! Not something that you can find from a cornflakes packet,there is an art to it
Goodluck
