With all the people bashing Poulans (newer versions I gather?) aren't they American made?

I've had several POS saws: #1 pioneer P52-would fall apart while running
#2 Stihl 038- just under powered always down

Fill your hands, you SOB!
For a climbing saw a McCulloch 797 is really worthless.
Mac 110 and anything that cloned it or is like it.
Any saw that makes you disassemble everything short of cracking the case just to get to the carb is not cool. The two best shops around here have specific policies for working on them saws. One of them won't do it, and the other requires a 1 labor hour immediate payment upon dropping it off.

can you say a 2yo thread?
Of course, but the worst chainsaw might have hit the markets yesterday.
I have a lot more faith in AS than the Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Actually, there's a bunch of candidates coming up this year that should qualify.
Right now there's 2 saws I run from at the sales, the Mini-Mac and the Mac Cat plastic saw. Maybe it's just because I've not been very successful getting them to run right. I'd even take a Homelite 150 over those two.

33 cc saw, plastic, homeowner type saw. I bought it used because it was cheap, and at the time I didn't know that much about saws. It worked fine for about a year, then the chain oiler quit. Being the tinkering type, I looked around online for another pump. Found one for $50.00. Which is more than I paid for the saw. Then I decided to take the thing apart for my own education to see how saws are built. I found out first hand the difference between a pro saw and a disposable saw. On a disposable saw, you can't get to the oil pump without a near complete teardown. So when the oil pump on one of these things blows, what you have remaining is a parts saw. Ain't worth fixing it.
