HYPOTHETICAL - Which saw would you grab in an emergency?

[MCW]

Hi peoples.

Hey just thought I'd start a thread on what saw you would grab in an emergency. Size or bar length doesn't count at all but lets suppose this...

A family member has just had a tree fall on them so you have to grab one saw. Which saw in your arsenal would you race for just KNOWING it will start without a hitch and get that killer branch off your loved one

In my case I would grab my little Husky 353 but I have confidence in all my saws starting. It's simply that my Husky 353 has not missed a beat at all and just oozes 100% reliable, so far anyway

7900 or 346. Either are about as untempramental as you can get about starting.

Shiat Matt, that's a tough one! Good question. In my case the one in easiest reach, or the first one I saw of five in my shed. Because all are, and have been very reliable I make sure they are, and stay that way. And they are all full of fluid's, sharp, serviced, and ready. And they all start with a few quick pulls. Wont own a saw that make's you pull, and pull.

Easy, 441R M-Tronics that has been modded, with a 28" Stihl LITE bar and Full Skip Semi Chisel. For all practical purposes its a one pull starting saw, thats start to finish, one pull. It doesn't care about the temperature, elevation or fuel it will compensate and push the performance as hard as it can. It will have more than enough power to pull the 28" through just about any hardwood, enough that it makes the 660 completely unnecessary, and it will get more wood cut on that first important tank in an emergency than any other saw made, period.

That's what I would pick up,

I guess since the 660 is the only one at my house it gets the nod.

One of my 044`s, any one of the 5 of them will start in a pull or two and perform flawlessly.

My Stihl 026 and 036...one in each hand...they're light enough to run with both..!!

346 and MS440. I want that limb off as soon as possible.

 

[derwoodii]

lite fast 023 or 025 aaw any of ma newish Stihls or ma 310 with tungsten carbide duro chain it could cut a car roof off. As my job sees me respond storm or asap problem trees, friggen always just after knock off or dinner time, I need all ma stuff always in the ute fueled sharp ready to go.

 

[watsonr]

The 044 has never let me down!!

 

[shelbythedog]

MS362 because it starts in 3 pulls everytime.

 

[MechanicMatt]

My 026, I love my 362 but the 026 always starts 2nd pull. The 362 takes @5 yanks.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

It'd be a tie between my 681 and XPW.....



681 in the left hand, XPW in the right.......??

 

[jus2fat]

I know the question was 1 saw and I gave 2...

I want 2 in case I happen to pinch #1 and can't pull free.
I go to the 2nd one instantly...!!!

In a life saving emergency...we are all adrenaline fired and susceptible to mistakes..!!
