Fake...
I cant tell for sure, but the t27 torx head screws throughout the saw look wrong (they almost look like allen heads to me)
I suspect a fake because I have a Chinese 038 copy in my shed myself. Mine came with no Stihl logos or stickers but the saw in the linked eBay auction, particularly the starter cover, looks just as cheap, shiny, and cheesey as the one I have.
Oh, and the serial numbers mean diddley as they are copying those as well...
Well spotted. My 038 copy has allen headed bolts with a slot for a flathead screwdriver incorporated into the screw. It's a piece of sh*t but gets used a bit on jobs like digging holes etc...
That's a heavy shovel.
Sadly it runs really well but vibrates like mad and is just cheap, cheap, and more cheap. Actually I hardly use it, I don't want people throwing rocks at me down the street
It's one of those saws I may just lean out on video until it blows up. That'd be fun, right up until it disappears in a mushroom cloud and takes my leg off...
Wear chaps.
Chaps don't stop Chinese crankshafts at 200mph
I'm gonna do it though. Just have to - full pelt, lean it out, rubber band on throttle, no bar or chain, then run, whilst videoing
im eagerly awaiting that video
