What's the largest single selling point when you buy a chainsaw?

Brand? Color? Or?

Brand? Color? Or?

For me to even consider a new saw, it must have a sharp blade on it.

One that's so good that it's never needed a new sparkplug or it's chain sharpened.

I know this was just a yank on the chain, but I'll bite, in order of importance:

- does the label say Husqvarna
- can I expect at least a few years service out of it
- can I lift it
- can i afford it

i'd like a chainsaw with a bag on it, like a belt sander....it would make chainsaw killing a fun hobby and a lot less messier.....

If it has 365 or 066 written on it and its a good deal.

 

[miking]

local dealer

 

[J.W Younger]

A big log out back

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

I don't buy saws I "acquire" them.

 

[little possum]

I check to make sure it has no JB weld on it, and it must have all the fins. :biggrinbounce2:
Kidding

Reliabiltiy, parts availability, and reputation of the saw helps. But I dont buy new saws.
