some of the old ones are quite stylish. spark plug removal was a PITA. Had to cut up a T-wrench just to get into it.
might have something to do with them being so associated with electric/pole saws instead of big pro ones...
remember that model that was army issue? i'd be into seeing that.... was it olive?
Sawbones has one, a 745 if I remember right. He posted a pic or two on a therad I started. "Combat Engineers and Chainsaws"
