Fair enough, I had better experiences with my 372 clone, I prefer only buying second hand if its someone I know. Lots of stolen kit floating around that I dont want to touch. If I see something on ebay, I ask for purchase history/invoice and rarely get a reply.

 

Anyway, what have you bought?

I got one of these bags last week, it is perfect size for carrying the cordless batteries and keeps them seperate from my files and saw tools.

If you’re going to get into the ethics of it, then I’d suggest the ‘clone saws’ are themselves stolen IP, manufactured worse.

Just an interesting little titbit about your name.

New harness, Camp Tree Access ST. I like it a lot, theres no silly knotted rope bridge for everything to catch on.

I got the wrong size, which has tiny leg loops, but Fletcher Stewart are swapping it to the adult size for me. Excellent service from this shop!

A few new items this week.

 

 

Its not identical, slightly louder but same engine design/character. I may be mistaken but it feels more powerful - but thats likely from the more open exhaust. I like it! Will give it a proper try tomorrow.
Dislike - bar nut retaining clips not included, and just standard bar nuts, it uses two of them.
Like - the on/off switch is a momentary, auto return to on switch. All saws should be this way.
3/8 full chisel chain as standard!


The 12" bar I'll swap to the Makita to test that. I've put the 10" Echo bar and 3/8 full chisel on the Clone 2511 for testing tomorrow. 12" may be too long for this size saw I think, atleast for what I intend to use it.

The clone also fired up first pull. Very easy start.

 

 

 

Could have used the clone 2511 today, we were clearing two domestic leylandii hedge rows, and I dropped the 2511 twice from being balanced on a stub a few meters up. I didnt have a lanyard or harness on..

I have the 003g, bit of a longer bar on.

Tempted to stick either .325 or 1/4 on it, rather than 3/8lp

I have thought about .325, in the 18v not seen a sprocket but you can definitely get 1/4. I'm going to try Stihls 3/8 1.1 full chisel next as the Oregon chain it comes with has such big safety bumpers you can barely cut with the bar buried so I had to file them off.
