These are great saws IMO/E. Great light well designed saw with good smooth av & power. A bucket of saw for the price, if I didn't have one I would consider this saw. Don't think these saws are not good as the 562 is top dog, the 555 is equal in build quality and perform well for their displacement. My 555 is smaller in size/bulk than my Stihl ms261. They are about the size of a high end 50cc saw.
