Ms150 truly awesome little saw

[Gardenmac]

Probably not the right forum but I did buy the ms150 as a carving saw. Not used it to carve properly yet but it has been truly awesome in dropping a mature cherry, thinned a laburnum hedge And took out mature buddleia:001_smile: that had overgrown the hedge. Next week I'm using it to drop a multi stemmed mature plum tree.

Yep, great saw, doesnt quite rev out well enough so i made a mild adjustment to the exhaust and now it really goes like stink. It revs much more cleanly and has just a tad more power on bigger stuff. Unfortunately will wreck any warranty you have though!!!

👍 Yep have to agree, took a chance and only took out the 150 on fri to fell a hornthorn gbl, snedding and logged it up no problems, then topped a load of connies. Didnt feel it on me harness and could of carried on all day with it but sadly ran out of work lol

I think sthill have changed the type or structure of the plastic for cost reasons:( ( that's not fact just my opinion)

Sounds like you had a faulty part, hope it works out for you.

The plastics are very thin on these saws, & require care in handling.
