Hey unclemoustache, not everyone has the disease. I only have one but am considering two.
Saws? Or wives?

Now now......let's not be putting words in me mouth.
What he means to say is if you are going to get a backup saw for your backup saw, it might also be prudent to line up a backup wife. And perhaps a backup for her, as they can be kind of easy to go through once you start following our advice.
Hey unclemoustache, not everyone has the disease. I only have one but am considering two. I do have a nice felling wedge in case something gets stuck and I could get another chain and bar in case I needed to free a saw that I could not get with my wedge. Even a smaller or larger bar with a new chain would be far cheaper than another saw. Just sayin.
Hello.Hey unclemoustache, not everyone has the disease. I only have one but am considering two.
IMHO, for firewood 50cc is the smallest practical size and that will handle almost anything within reason.
I have a real dislike for Stihl MS290's but that is a personal bias against large heavy and bulky saws that are way overpriced.
The best value for saws right now the Echo CS-590, (60cc) for under $400 and has a 5 year warranty.
For weight wise, my 440 is about .9 pounds heavier than the 290, and the Echo 590 is about .3 pounds heavier than the 290. Will take the extra power of the 440 for the little weight difference. I don't mind swinging it around.
