Just to put the boot in a little bit more, :pumpkin2: that 355T echo looks no different than a 350/360T, the fuel caps are nasty stiff sharp-edged warped plastic about the size of a dime, you dread having to re-fill the thing, the ergonomics are atrocious, the resin handle gives an instant feeling you're holding something unpleasant, after weilding a pro husky or stihl the 350T feels like a mushy piece of tripe, they're ####ters those models, just because the 355 has apparently gained a thimblefull of power won't improve them, echos have NEVER had an explosive performance engine, the hyped 355 won't make it even in the ball-park of a 200T

Do you ever post anything positive, or are all your comments just slams on whatever the topic saw is?

You don't like Echo. We get the point. Enough.

he has posted several vids running a variety of top handles.

You guys must have short memories. Frick, even a mod on the band wagon. Try searching before commenting Bob.


Not in this thread.

I've never seen any in other threads either that I remember.

But, if it's like you say, getting a link posted in this thread should be no problem.

Either way though, it won't change the fact that ppg is a real "thorn" about Echo saws.
