I recently went to the local Stihl dealer (also a tool rental company) and asked them what their most reliable saw was. To my amazement, they claimed that MS170 was far more reliable than any of their professional saws (the most popular of which is the MS261). Apparently even though their MS170s and MS261s have seen similar use on the rental side of things, they've had to repair and replace many MS261s and have had to do nothing to the MS170s. To be honest this kind of blew my mind.
It got me thinking, is the MS170 really the most reliable saw they currently manufacture? And furthermore, are there any saws that, back in the day, were even more reliable than this saw? Would love to hear your opinions!
