Thanks guys! I am going to check one out seriously. In fact, I am on the phone putting a down payment hold on one right now!
My retired Jonsered dealer (now just does service on all brands) was telling me horror stories about those. Apparently the case melts if you run them too long...I would say 85 percent of the saws sold in my area are from the fleet supply store that sells Husky/formerly Johnny/Stihl but they bring stuff to the smaller shops for repair so these guys see it all.Just last friday a buddy bought a Husky 240 off the shelf for a small clean up job. We couldnt get that thing to run for **** to save our lives. He took it back within an hr and got a ms170. LOL!!!
I do not think you can go wrong with one of those. Their build quality is impeccable. The 32 and several other small models are built in their asian factory but I was unable to discern any quality difference from the German models.Thanks guys! I am going to check one out seriously.

Lol! Nailed it! He got it from Farm & Fleet.My retired Jonsered dealer (now just does service on all brands) was telling me horror stories about those.

Congrats on the purchase!Awesome! I am looking for a tiny saw to carry around on the quad. By the time I get the quad loaded with other tools and things I don't have much room left, so the smaller and lighter the better...as long as it cuts.
The one I ordered has a 16" bar. I will probably be looking for a 14 or even a 12 for it. I'll use the 16 on my ps420.
My first "plastic" saw...or clamshell or whatever you call it will be in my hands sometime next week.
Thanks again!
435What Husky does that coincide to? If it is the 240, stay away. If it is the 440 it would be a nice saw.
Legit saw then
I have had a couple of those saws and didn't mind it at all FWIW. I found the Makita tool-less assembly works smoother than the one from StihlI wanted the ps 32 and all set to purchase online when something told me to call. They only had the makita w/ tool less tensioner and I just can’t do that. So pissed.

Check with @MillerModSaws, I would bet he can beat that price.I’ve found the makita equivalent with the standard chain tensioner at HD. Didn’t want to do big box but oh well.
I already ordered it from HD. I’ll know next time. I would much rather support small business.Check with @MillerModSaws, I would bet he can beat that price.
That was fast!My saw is coming tomorrow.
