New Saw Hype

[Four Paws]

What new saws are fresh out, or coming down the pike soon?

What saws are you excited about and why?

What saws are total let-downs that we should all stay away from?

Personally, I am buying up duplicates of all my old favorites before they are LONG GONE.

Ok, I will say it. I was impressed with the 441. I dont wanna talk about the weight thing, it never bothered me. It had an awesome powerband. It reminded me of my 026 on fuel usage, it got awesome fuel economy. The modification factor I believe will be worked out by all of you mod experts in time, just like all new technology. Whether Husky came out first with the stratified engine or Redmax or whoever, Im convinced the 441 is BY FAR the best example yet of what most all 2 stroke engines will be in the very near future.

It's too wide for my liking...just don't care for the ergonomics. Seems wider than an 046/460 - whether it is I don't know.

Of all the saws out on the market right now, I am most curious about the 165 Efco, and what has changed in the 'upgrade' from the 962.

I can remember when the Homelite XL-925 was the 'hot' new technology.
