Many of my saws are "special" to me.
The 3400 Poulan "Ugly Bastard" was the first saw I built totally from scrap parts and the first saw I ported, so it is special.
I sold it once to a friend and regretted it every day.
When he decided to upgrade, it came back home to stay!
The 056 Super was willed to me by a GREAT friend who died of cancer.
That saw will ALWAYS have a home.
The 7901 that I made from a 6401 is pretty dear to my heart.
Before I got that saw I thought an 041 was a big saw!
My 6400 is a great saw. I call it "The Surpriser".
But the saw that I never go to cut without anymore is the Makita DCS401 that I ported.
It is light, powerful, easy to start and will run forever on a gallon of mix.
My "go to" saw for everything up to 12"!
