What is the diff between 029S and MS290?

[Joel D'Angelo]

Noticed they have the same displacement. Are they the same saw? Thanks

Mostly cosmetic difference, they gave the 029s new covers when they changed over to the MS three digit model designation, plus they put those gas and oil caps on it that everyone loves to death

Flippy caps vs screw on caps.

Flippy caps vs screw on caps.

This makes sense. The old style caps are superer.
