husky 242xp

[sussexlad]

hi guys, i have managed to aquire a 242 (for £45!) although i havent seen the saw yet apparently it needs anti-vib bush or something along those lines, where is the best place for spares, if any?

thanks in advance!

I too got given one by an Estate I look after. Bought a few spares From Honey Bros as they're local to me. Am I right in saying that back in the day these saws were highly rated?

Yes i think it does - its the 42 not 242

Not just back in the day - even now.

 

Absolutely awesome for snedding and super light.

 

I'd pick one up over a 346 for thinning any day.

Understatement! The 242xp is a legend putting it very mildly.
