New top handle

[Rich Rule]

I have tried one.  They cut great no doubt.

 

I just can’t get over the Fisher Price element.

 

They just feel a bit flimsy.

My first Echo still runs as well Rich.

 

The retune problems have been sorted with the second generation carbs.

 

Having to basically port a saw and void the warranty doesn’t say a lot about the quality of the original, does it?

 

You really should try an Echo some day.

A bit like Trigger’s Broom?

[Mark Bolam]

They do look toy-like.

I thought it was a bit of a joke when it turned up.

 

They are amazingly robust in use though.

I’ve had to replace a broken exhaust cover, and top plate which I lost on my last ever I swear to God conny hedge reduction.

 

That’s far less than I ever had to do with my 200T!

They are lighter than the Stihl as well….

 

Fully fuelled.

And filthy.

Well if that's right then yes your saw is lighter but it's SH1T...

 

😬.

Yes, I deliberately chose it because of it’s poor performance compared to the mighty Stihl.

 

Funny how none of the good climbers on here haven’t upgraded from Echo to Stihl really.

Probably because they can't afford to on poor climbers salaries..😂

I thought I was a decent climber. 
 

I have obviously been using the wrong parameters for measurement. 🤪

[Mark Bolam]

You are.

Think how good you could be with an Echo….
