Here are a few shots of the Ryobi 10532 from Home Depot that was mentioned on another thread. I went down there yesterday afternoon and grabbed one, There were 3 or 4 way up on the the third tier of the rack. $119out the door. I am impressed considering its probably the lowest priced gasoline saw in there. The saw is marked made in China but the engine says
ZENOAH JAPAN on the jug. The carb setup makes me think its strato charged and the engine seems of a higher quality then the usual clam shell Homelite/Poluan stuff, it has a bolt on jug. It is practically all plastic but has full metal crankcase witch encompassed the bar mount and bar studs. There is no cat but there is only a 5/16 hole on the face of the muffler. I drilled a couple more holes and removed the carb screws with a red electrical butt end connector and dremeled slots for a screw driver. I used it for about an hour today and was impressed - its a little screamer. I also put a VX non-saftey chain on it. Full spring anti-vibe as well. Not bad for a $120 bucks.
