Hello all and thank you for all of your help over the last few days.
I had decided on getting the Stihl 260. Then I was in Home Depot today renting an auger for work, and asked the guy about the Makita chainsaws which they rent there. He said they actually sell the rentals after a certain amount of time and can even order the saws new and sell them as well. But then he gave me the phone number of a local Makita repair shop and said they have really good deals. I called the repair shop and the gentleman there said that yes, he sells reconditioned units with full warranty's.
So, I can get the Stihl 260 for around $400 or I can get the Makita 6401 for about $300. Do I need that much saw? No. Does the testosterone in me keep telling me to get. Naturally.
Just looking for some input from you experts out there. Has anyone used the DCS6401?
Any comments would be appreciated!
