so i went to my local dealer, they are a pretty big name with a few stores around, looking to buy a top handle. Mind you im pretty new to climbing and all my cutting on ground has been with a 455 rancher. I asked about the echo 355t which has been getting some good reviews and he didnt want to sell me one, kept talking up the 201t. Frustrated i said id come back and in the mean time i asked for some files so i can start sharpening my own chains. i have a 3/8 chain so he gave me a 3/8 file and i left. fast forward a few weeks and i realize the file is too small and its about that time to get my saw so i go back. I sit down and say i want a 355t. hes a good salesman so i ended up getting the 201t, which i am a little dissapointed with. while im there i tell him the 3/8 file was too small so he gives me a file that says .325. obviously i got home and found thats even smaller so wtf! some quick research on my end and i was off to the hardware store to get 13/64 file and a 5/32 for the 201t. but im still stuck with the 201t and spent all day trying to get it tuned in and am now looking to mod it. so my dealer sucks, my saw sucks, i feel like i got had, but now i can sharpen my own chains!!
