Stihl 028 AV Super

Old thread, but I'm going to chime in also. The Stihl 028 in all its models rocks. It's Stihls perfect saw IMHO, and I own quite a few of Stihl's sub 60cc line-up. There is no better Stihl made. I prefer the full magnesium (older) 028's to the ones with the plastic handles. Just a preference, no real reason against the plastic handled. I also prefer the 16" .325 b/c as it just screams on these saws when tuned properly at 12,800rpm.

I do LOVE my 028 Super bought new over 30 years ago. And last year I bought another one on Ebay for $231 that is in great shape, and has run flawlessly since I got it. They are just absolutely fantastic saws, and if taken good care of, they will run practically forever! They have become a touch heavy as I've gotten a touch older, but are still great saws!
