I buy and use all husqvarna products now because my stihl dealers attitude got in the way. Not only that,when i did try to buy a string trimmer from him,he talked me into a kawasaki trimmer! I went there for a stihl. It was a big mistake on his part,Ive bought 4 husky saws,3 string trimmers,a blower,a pole saw,and many other things from my husky dealer,who by the way is excellent.My husky dealer sharpens my chains free,and just takes good care of me,if i need anything, i get it right away,and ive never had to wait for parts,everything i have needed was in stock.
