any1 no when the new husky climbing saw is out?

[High Scale]

I have always quite liked the shape and design of the Husky climbing saws, well, apart from the fuel and oil fillers being in the same area, but apart from that and the terrible non oiling problem, (In the example that I used) they have a pretty nice balance and power.

I notice the Husky has decent old school combi spanner fuel n oil caps. I would consider using it just for that.... no more oil down the leg or stuck fuel caps from the plasticky Stihl contraptions.... Your thoughts please skyhuck:001_smile:

I don't know why they bothered to change the simple screw cap design, the newer design is just too fiddily.

i think husqvarna must know they cant afford to made a mistake a 3rd time...for that reason alone i think the saw may be one to watch. it certainly feels better in the hand than their previous 2, thats a good start!

 

were you allowed to start it steve and give it a spin or just handle it:blushing:

when i was on 38/39 only 3 of us out of the 4 were doing 39,but the 4th chap was assessed on 38 and stayed to watch us on 39!

the 3 on 39 had 3 different saws ms200t,338xpt and a echo

the chap who only completed 38 loved the 338,the look, the feel,the weight,the shape?

so what cant they get right?

is it build quality,durability,cutting speed:sneaky2:

There apart on the new one that was one of my issues with other huskey climbing saws.

 

its the chainbrake i dont like but think it maybe more tougher because its connected at the other side of chain brake.

was there a reason why you could not take it for a spin [no engine:lol:]
