It is an excellent saw with very good power. What you should not forget the saw is real old school! On the market since all most 20 years! So it still has the chain tensioner in the front of the saw, noodle clearance is not perfect, further no modern fuel economics. But it is still built today. I just bought a friend a brand new one a month ago so yes they are still being built today! That is what one would call a quality product over time, only being surpassed by the Dolmar 115 as far as I am aware of.
I have the 962 and like it A LOT! I am sure you have seen my videos.
You won't be unhappy with your purchase.

.........................................................................................ONLY STEALS!!! ONLY STEALS!!! ONLY STEALS!!!They are good saws for the money, with a caveat.
I've owned an Oleomac in the past. Great value for money, but when it starts falling to pieces (and it will) you'd just be better off buying a new one. Spares are available but may take more time than you'd like to get them and aren't that cheap when the price of a brand new Efco/Oleomac is taken into account.
Of course if you only cut a few cords a year and don't throw your saw around it may give you years and years of valuable service before needing replacement.
yeah,,and with a bit of port work,,they will howl..gypo on here,,used to have a 999...was legendary.....When I was looking for a new saw, the pro's I spoke to all comentated "not like an italien stalion but like an italien bull". Not the fastest kid on the block but built tough like a bull. One fellow even complained that his is still running after years in pro use. He wanted something new but his Oleo was still running strong.
