How can we tell if the saw is genuine or fake?
Id like to think that I spent good money at the Stihl shop to not be ripped off.
I recently bought a brandnew MS381 for $1495NZD and have been reading through the forums and seeing more and more warning signs.
What is a true way to tell if the saw is a genuine Stihl.
The Saw has a made in Brazil sticker on it which had me ask the Mechanic. Arrantly chroming is not allowed in some areas so a new Stihl base was opened in Brazil for these newer machinces. The sticker only informs us that that is the last place of assembly.
I have attached a pic of my new saw for you to look at.
Please tell me it is the real deal.
PS I'm new here all the way from New Zealand.
Cheers
