Look at my tag line. Yes, I own them. I was also a dealer for them until I closed my shop the end of 2013. I currently work for a Stihl dealer. I have sold and Homelite (back when they really were Homelites), Husqvarnas, Jonsereds, Sachs-Dolmars and Efcos. The only ones I haven't had the privilege of operating much are Stihls. My current favorite saw is my little 132s, which I think puts both the Husqvarna/Jonsered top handles (which I have personal experience with) and the current crop of Stihl top handles, which I only have second hand experience with. My father-in-law likes his MT3500 I sold him more than his 20+ year old Jonsered he has always bragged on. I will put my 152 right up there with any of the mid level saw I have used. That includes such saws as the Sachs-Dolmar 112, the Homelite SXL-AO, the Husqvarna 455/Jonsered 2255. I may not use saws for a living, but having been a rental manager and owner of a rental company I had to have personal experience with everything I sold and rented. If you, sir, have never used an Efco saw, I would encourage you to try it. I, for one, am not a brand snob. I like good, solid, well performing equipment. Efco fills that bill. I would not have invested a large amount of capital to become a dealer, after doing my homework.
