They kind of look like Husky's.
I have heard good things about the Tanaka saws, and they do have a 7 year consumer warranty. I am seriously considering buying one of the 33EB saws over the past couple days, it has a $50 Visa card rebate and they can be had on ebay for $200.
The reason I would consider the saw is that Bailey's has the 1/4" sprocket to convert it over to 1/4" pitch. While a tad pricey at $32, it still provides a quality carving saw at less than $200. They have a Walbro carb and the cylinder is chrome (I believe many of the Stihl cylinders are chrome).
I am not interested in buying one, but would like to know more about them so I don't say something dumb like that again without knowing wtf I am talking about.
You might check out the Hitachi as well. it sure looks like the same saw and carries the same warranty. I was looking at one at Menards a few weeks ago. They weren't offering the gift card but it seems that they were on sale for around $150 It seems very "plasticy" and chineese. Could this be the next Ryobi type deal?
The best way is don't comment. Just read it and go on. That way you don't have to back peddle later. Just my thought...Bob
My first saw was the Homelite 33cc ranger from the DPOT. @ the time 11 years ago it sold for 130 w/16" b/c. Could this Tanaka be compared to the 33cc Ranger?
If I had this Tanaka 33cc to choose from @ the time I would probably still have it around to be used, although I still have that Ranger I never use it. It has 3 year old spider webs all over it by now.
No the Tanaka is much better that than the Homelite you describe. It compare more to the older small Echo line, cs290 and the like
The Hitachi is the same saw. I was bidding on one at the bay, but got bid out. These are quality built saws with a walbro carb and a chrome cylinder.You might check out the Hitachi as well. it sure looks like the same saw and carries the same warranty.
