Would you buy husky 353

Doesn’t sound too good, anyway I would say early 2007 ish,  would need to see the set no. to confirm

i bought a mint condition 353 about 3 years ago,  the boys almost argue over who gets to use it over the full fat pro saws.  They are brilliant value for money as are the Husky 450E semi pro saws.

Have used and trained with them for years and still have them.  Whilst some some saws may have seemed a little quicker or have a bit more grunt, to me they ticked all the boxes with pro features ( side tensioners/quick release top cover etc) handled well, but when we bought them didn't have the pro price. I put them in the same bracket as the 365's, solid build and do what you want without any frills and i have only replaced standard consumables (bar/chain sprockets etc) and have never found a weak part. I have a friend who still has the earlier 351G, just replaced the carb in it and at 22 years old still runs sweet.

If it's a genuine model then a good bit of saw for the money.

I had a 359 for a few years and that was totally reliable .
