Strong saw, great quality. If I were to spend that much I'd squeeze out a few more dollars for a 2172.
they dont sell them owere here just huskies , 2166 is the strongest of the Jred in my country . But i like red/black more than orange
I have the 365xt which is the husky version of the 2166. It is a good firewood saw for your larger firewood. It can be modified to equal the 372/2172 by grinding off restrictors in the transfer covers.

I had a complete brain fart. I was thinking of the 2165. Yes the 2166 is a 2172 with very little effort.
For how long do you have it , any problems ?

I've had my 2165 for about 10'years and still like it! It's a good reliable saw no problems r issues so far. I've got a 24 inch hard nose bar on it currently. Have fun!
I have had my365xt for 18 months and have had no issues. I have cut wood up to 32" in diameter with it. I also have had a 2165 for 4 years and replaced an on-off switch and a sparkplug on it. I have cut up to 38" diameter wood with it and it has been very dependable.

Even though the exact model is relatively new, the design features are very well proven, and there is no reason to worry at all! :msp_smile:
Even though the exact model is relatively new - thats is a reason i worry becouse its not been proven yet ?

What about that awful handle angle? I thought that was a deal breaker.

the front handle ?

Don't worry. They're just teasing Sawtroll a bit about his dislike for 90degree handlebar angles, as used on basically all chainsaws except Husqvarnas.

Yes, it is about the streight across handlebar of the Red Huskys (Jonsereds) - however it matters much less on a primary felling and bucking saw, than on a saw that is used a lot for limbing. :msp_wink:

Far from all others actually, at least with reasonably modern saws!
