OK, I can't resist.

What's wrong with the 7900?

Mine is too light for the power.

Seriously, anybody got any problems with one?
 
They are ugly, too much power, dealer suppor sucks, you can't get them on the internet and I don't own one yet:angry2:
 
They are most definately NOT ugly. Did you ever notice the resemblance here?

I never had thought of the similarities before. I don't know if I can ever look at another 6400/7900 series saw with out ever thinking about the Alien now (or Sigourney Weaver :heart: in the escape pod scene). :D
 
I don't own a 7900 so I can't comment on the saw specifically.

1. Dealer support and dealer knowledge.
2. Dolmar's commitment to the chainsaw market.

If I were a betting man and you asked me which saw manufacturer would be around in 10 years, I would put all my money on Stihl. Saws, trimmers and blowers is all they make.

I don't know if Dolmar will be around in 10 years. As I understand, Dolmar is owned by Makita. I would imagine that Dolmar's sales are a drop in the bucket for Makita's bottom line. Since Makita is not really into OPE, I don't see how Dolmar fits in unless there will be a Dolmar line of OPE in the future. The future of Dolmar is all going to depend on the quality of dealers Dolmar selects, whether Dolmar is losing money and how patient Makita will be if Dolmar is losing money. If Dolmar is making money, they have bought time while they sort out their dealer network. This is a lesson in "time will tell". Let's hope for the best because competition breeds innovation and performance which is what most of us are looking for.
 
With that attitude, you'll never know the pleasure of running one!!

:fart:

Its not a attitude, Its just I think they are ugly and cheap looking :cheers:

And that just leaves more for you to buy.

And one more thing, you ASK!
