Mine arrived today.... can't wait to fuel her up and give it a rev.
because we live in a society where people want quantity rather than quality.......they want one of evrything and 2 of some things.....and if it brakes just throw it away and buy something else to occupy the low concerntration span.
I buy good quality, im not rich so alot of what i buy is second hand......and with that i actually learn stuff as i get to rebuild it and service it myself.
I make my living using tools so i have seen the market change in the last 15-20 years.........it hasnt changed for the better on most accounts.

:lol2:
A mate of mine (chainsaw repairer, he should have known better, and no Serg, it wasn't Matt ;) ) bought half a dozen of those to on-sell a couple of years back.
Two now adorn his workshop as a daily reminder not to buy cheap Chinese chainsaws :D
They might be 62cc but they only have the grunt (if you are lucky) of a 45-50cc name brand saw, and while their back up is OK from the Oz importer, the saws themselves are still rubbish. (IMO)
They'd be Ok for very occasional use, but for someone that likes good tools, or is a serious firewood cutter (as in your only form of heating during winter) look elsewhere.
I'm not a Saw expert and probably wouldn't use one much.
But I felled 2 trees cut them to fire wood lengths. The saw never looked like packing up. Quiet and no smoke. Blade still sharp. I'm happy, it would have cost me the purchase price to hire one.
I presume it would last me years for what I want it for. So I'm at least happy
