I ran Shindaiwa machines for work with the landscaping companies, thats ALL they buy here, that and Echo. you tell me what the quality is if thats what they run. I gotta love the Shindaiwa trimmers, and the edgers, they're built rock solid for their purpose, and perform great. Japanese quality is generally great, as is the performance of their 2 strokes.

Komatsu saws in the US are sold as Redmax
I have a Komatsu G415 and a Redmax G561 both are of excellent quality

Patrick62, since you're on a roll, what do you think of Makita? Club Cadet? Efco? John Deere? POS? Oleomac? Jonsered? Dolmar? Partner?

I stand corrected, I had never heard of them before. The price was right up there with the Echo's. The quality is probably pretty fair. I know the little echo I have has some quality in it (or it would have died by now).

As for the German's making Stihl chainsaws, the German machine work was noted even before WWII.

Maybe I should look for a Jred.... just for the fun of it.

Thanks for the feedback!

everything else Ok though..the point I tried to highlight is misconceptions about defining quality...quality don't mean a bean if you can't afford to buy it...and if youre one of the uninitiated...and you haven't heard of this site...what do you do...we've all made purchases in the past we have nightmares about...we the initiated

This sites an initiation in itself :blush:
