Sometime shortly after we had a big ice storm and I bought a small (12" bar) Stihl saw to clean up the mess. The saw hasn't seen a lot of use but it still works fine. I used it this spring on a maple in mom's yard that had been killed by beetles. Before I came out here to Corpus Christi I was using the now pushing 20 year old weed eater to do 3 yards. Love my Stihls. I've also got a Husqvarna blower that I'm way less than impressed with. It's run good for years, but the damn thing probably has the worst ergonomics of any power tool I've ever used. I keep hoping it's going to die one of these days so I can replace it but so far no such luck.
Yes, Husqvarna is Swedish crap designed for the oddly proportioned. It annoys me that they use Stihl's distinctive orange color scheme on their products.
