We all remember Poulan, Homelite, McCulloch, Jonsered, Dolmar, and several other good saw brands such as Pioneer and Solo that may have been lesser known to many buyers. We have also watched them tank. I guess we have the " Big 3" now. Any wagers on which of the big 3 won't be around in 15 years? If I am still kickin in 15 years and this site is still up, I would like to come back and see who was right.

They'll probably all be gone from fuel powered OPE if the green /left who currently rule most of the civilised world remain in power
I would say you are correct. If I am not mistaken, Husqvarna has the most battery powered saws in the line-up now.

Notice that the three letters commonly used when referring to the type of equipment we are discussing were "censored" out of my comment? Why the sensitivity?

The reason it was censored out is because those letters reference a competing forum that started from a fight here years back.
We likely won't even have the legal right to cut down, trim, burn, look at or even take cover in the shade of trees if the green loonies keep pressing the buttons of the Governments of the world at the rate they are doing it now. Farewell to anything made of paper too. Bye Bye toilet paper even.

We have really only had Stihl and Husky for decades. Everyone else was and are bit players.
Whats the third?Besides Huskqvarna and Stihl
Echo.
Echo is quickly getting a foothold, so I call them the third.
what is the 3 letter word? Maybe give me first and last letters
Ever see Dr Strangelove? Remember the 3 letter code to recall the bombers?
“Our Personal Essence”
I would say that there are enough loyalists from each brand to keep all three going. I can find reasons why they would say each brand is best. The problem Echo might run into is the aftermarket parts aren't available as much and repair parts are higher priced.
Testing, O P e, is this the 3 letters?
Lol. Love that movie.

I was close. I think he had it written down multiple ways, but it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.
In 10 years Gasoline Chainsaws will most likely be outlawed by EPA and Makita will be be in pole position with their 40 volt battery powered saws.
