Agreed. And considering that Screwfix are offering them from £50, it shouldn't be too fiscally imprudent. 

Interestingly cheap.

 

Their blurb says "Oregon Full-Skip Chamfer-Chisel Chain" yet the spec says Oregon 91PJ057X

 

which is just a low profile??

I have just bought a new makita corded  one as my old makita model  died recently after over  20yrs

Was using it yesterday seemed to have more power then the old one & only  uses about 1/4 as much chain oil. (The old electric motor had lost its   power from new perhaps?) Also has captives nuts on clutch case and tesioner is on the on side rather than the front so two other improvments. Only thing I dislike is the safety trigger seems  abit more annoying than the older model.

 

Shopped  abroad in eu as nowhere in UK was selling the models without the  tooless clutch clovers...

Screwfix are noted for their descriptions being somewhat " lax". Usually, the Details section is correct. Usually.

It seems to be badged as a Pro model, so perhaps that's why? I'm still running a 4041 of similar vintage, which my son bought. It has cut many, many tonnes of timber.
