    Well my first saw has lived up to that reputation . In saying this i did do alot of research at the time with all the brands around then and it all came back to the sthil
    Considering the old saw still works and still runs very well with only air filter cleaning , spark plugs changed , chain sharperning and numerous bars and chains and sprockets replaced it has been a absolute gem hence buying another

    I am not convinced the new Stihls are as good as the old ones. they seem a lot lighter construction and a friend has already has trouble with the air filter on his new Stihl not sealing correctly.
    Check the air filter design carefully.
    I would consider a Husqvarna chainsaw next time I need one, but my little saw is only 16 years old and has a lot of life left in it.
