The Official "Say Anything" Thread

[GK]

I read with great interest the Husky V Stihl rivalry online.

The low end model Stihl I was after had a number of people quite unhappy with it. It also was $100 more, had a non adjustable carb and I didn't think much of the local dealer. The Husky dealer is a km from my house.

I know Stihl make good saws, but I had a qu Mark over the low price point model I was after.

I remember that thread.

The reason I bought my Jonsered is I ran my other saw over with the truck.

The local dealer, and a guy that went way out of his way for his customers, was a Jonsered guy. He gave me a hundred bucks for my old saw and I was back cutting that afternoon.

Good reading!

Dang those Chinese are prolific at copying anything they get their hands on!

All depends what you're doing with the saw.

I've had awful experiences with Huskys.  My previously much abused 20+ year old Stihl... still... works.

But my new - old design - Mothermake the beast with two backser of a new Stihl..

works

even better  

It is heavy though.  Can't have everything.

Is Jonsered still a "real" band?  I seem to rmember that they're made by somebody else now.....  

Husky... for example

My local dealer is the all rounder. They've had the shop for 20 years. It's a family business and they're sadly becoming rarer these days.

Swedish white goods??  

All the Scando brands, maybe.

The Germans are still made in Brazil  

My Husqvarna brushcutter  was a Mitsubishi.

[ducpainter]

You're probably correct.

My Jonsered says Electrolux on it, but like I say it's 20ish years old. A lot has happened in the world economy since then.

My 20 year old Stihl says "made in Germany"

My new Stihl is German... with a South American accent.

Carlos would like it 

I do too.

[ungeheuer]

Anyway....

Konnte es sein . . . but, Stihl is Bosch's "low end" in some tools and still "independent" on other stuff . . . The Bosch's Campinas factory, turns out Bosch, Stihl and Dremel tools at the same time . . .
