I love these ads, is it a typo or are they trying to pull a fast one on an unsuspecting party. ie they see a nice Stihl or Husky rated at 56 CC's for $400 but then this one appears with 2015 CU IN for only $350!

No, I didn't get it. If they were asking $125-$175 I would have picked it up simply because the clutch and oiler are starting to act up in the Crapsman and IMO it's not worth fixing, just like this saw. Disposable. Run it till it breaks then get a new one.

It's supposed to be 2.15 cu in. 2.5hp is correct.
There is NO comparison between a Craftsman and a Shindaiwa This is a pro grade saw, not a cheap homeowner saw.

It's time to fire the proof reader for this company's advertising. This is why you need someone in that department who knows something about engines and well life in general.
