Doesn't surprise me.I had heard that the average homeowner saw has less than 10 hours use in its life.

If someone doesn't burn wood for heat/only cuts for a cabin where a cord will last years/owns a saw only for yard cleanup think how little use it would get.
Even a guy who gets a semi of logs delivered doesn't put that many hours on a saw because there's no felling/limbing involved just buck every bolt into 5 or 6 pieces.
Then there's the shelf queen crowd. If someone wants to tie up capital on tools that are barely/never used that's their prerogative. If you enjoy fine tools, feel the need for a spare, or always want to have the exact right tool more power to you. If its purchased to stroke the ego or attempt to impress people around here then grow up.
