saw under £200 inc vat?

Why buy crap just spend a bit and get a saw that will do the job and last:confused1:

yep only reason to do it is for fun. 150/200 quid plus a days labour (potentially irritating day at that) and your looking at what you could buy a decent working second hand saw/new bottom end saw.

[spudulike]

I have a suspicion that there's a fair/massive amount of psychology at play in the positive reviews of the Huztl saws;

 

Give Bob a 60cc Chinese Brand XX saw to try and he says "rubbish! underpowered crap!".

 

Give Bob a Chinese copy of a Stihl 036 and he says "Oh! Is good! Almost exactly like a Stihl!"

 

Not that the fake Stihls/Huskies are necessarily bad, but I'm sceptical about whether they are much better than a bog standard Chinese £60 saw (which people are perhaps too happy to rubbish).

 

That said, I might buy a kit for giggles.

Got loads of those already. I wouldn't expect one of these kits to last years. I've got a rough idea how a saw works, building one from scratch in a rainy day should be a good learning experience

Speaks for itself really

Indeed,

 

If a cheap crank can fail so catastrophically then who knows what else?

Chain brake for example.

 

Better to spend your cash on something decent.

There seems to be enough guys making a living with these £900 Chinese chippers vs the 5k offerings. Don't think anyone's suggesting a kit chainsaw is a viable tool to rely on
