be nice is there waa still a dislike button here......Not sure we are allowed to link product websites on here?
But on Forester's own site they list several bar tips and the one that looks most like the bar above has a single rivet- 45 degree shoulders and a part number printed on the tip that reads ORT38.....
Looks pretty Oregon like to me.
But hey, if the price is right, it holds the chain on the saw and does not wear /bend like Trumps opinions..... all good.
That's what I was thinking. I didn't have $100 into a new husky branded Oregon 36" bar and EXL chain! Of course the shiny DOES make it cut faster...Just buy a Cannon! That price point, why not a Sugihara?

Yeah, thanks.Was hoping these guys got a few more days of bargain-seeking glory. At least until their orders were delivered and the proof was hard to avoid.Yeah the Forrester Platinum bars are decent bottom shelf bars. But I wouldnt be paying over $100 for anything 'Forrester' period. They are not related to Tsumura in any shape or form, the Chinese RSN noses.can be produced in any design, they copy stuff that's what they do. In this case its a nose used on Powermatch bars by Oregon and also used by Carlton on their German Speed Tips. The Canadian ST's are the traditional Windsor pattern. Forrester also stole the Windsor pattern form their 'Pro' RSN bars. Im not a big fan of brands that do that sort of stuff but the few Forrester bars I have, have been all right certainly a level above most of the Chinese garbage.View attachment 812525
28" sugi with chinesium chain here is USD95 + deliveryThat price point, why not a Sugihara?
Meh. Not enough BLING BLING28" sugi with chinesium chain here is USD95 + delivery
28" powermatch is around $70 in US.
28" tsumura bar is around the same price ($67) at comstocklogging
28" lightweight tsumura about $84 at comstock
I'm sure plitz or whatever they are called have a super-bling upgrade race kit...Meh. Not enough BLING BLING
They may try to make it look like like that for that reason.Ok, i was wrong. I didn’t zoom in on the little pic to see the tip and i was thinking Laser Ultra bars not Forester.
