Stihl
Husqvarna
Something else
Not even sure if those two are comparable to each other.

Not what it once was.

Stihl


This, or Echo. I personally prefer Echo, but that's just me.

Edit: This is based on a small sample size. My grandfather's Stihl has been in the shop 4 times in the past year. I haven't had any such issues with my Echo.

I've always owned a Stihl chainsaw, but my next chainsaw will be an Echo. I have an Echo post hole digger that is reliable and low maintenance, and I have also borrowed a relative's Echo chainsaw (after losing a bar nut on my Stihl) and it's great.

455 Rancher. The wife showed up one day after work with it two weeks ago. She said she was tired hearing me bitch bout my Craftsman. This saw is a beast, a little heavy though. I love it!
