Exactly what he said.
Husky cuts faster in softer wood.
Stihl has more torque when it counts.
Stihl is lighter.
Husky is narrower.
Husky feels smaller in the hands.
Both reliable.

I like the 2 ring piston of the Stihl compared to the 1 ring Husky. For me it means the Stihl should retain its "Optimal Compression" for more years than the Husky.

I was faced with the decision between Husky and Stihl
I still have a 25 year old Stihl, works really well - even if a bit heavy for its size.
I was also happy with my18 inch Husky.
But wanted to upgrade to at least 20 inch with the potential to run a 25 inch bar. So was looking for around 3.5 Kw
The Husky model has had a history of problems !
It's been around for a number of years, before Husky announced some modifications.
The modifications did not address the huge number of complaints ( which were quite serious ), and there was no admission by Husky that they were at fault.
Worse still, they did not appear to accept any warranty liability.
For me, they have lost a potential customer.
I now have a Stihl 362 which is 3.5 Kw, and can run a 25 inch bar.
As an engineer, this machine is far better constructed, has a nice balance and is just so easy to use.
I have been converted away from Husky, back to Stihl - because I no longer have any faith ih Husky
