I bought this saw a few months ago and have to say that this saw their money is weert !!! One thing is clear to a professional saw Stihl they can not against but just that they should also not at all well !!! However, the saw has really enough power for thicker stems and they are not so quickly after. I think it is often underestimated but I am fully satisfied and would buy me at any time. For sawing firewood and thicker trunks it is perfectly adequate and also in the garden she copes without any problems, as long as the power cable is sufficient. For me from strong buy recommendation!
