i have 3 of these bars in 28 inch length ,i rate them as a good bar ,yest they are a little heavier than an oregon light or stihl light ,i can notice the difference in lightness over a standard es bar ,but they dont flex like my oregon one does ,if appearance matters to you the finish holds up pretty good ,the tips are well made ,only thing i dont like about them is they have a 92 link chain ,my stihl and oregon use a 91 link so i have to have special cut chains for the sugi bars ,i think the 32 inch are 105 like a stihl or oregon though
