I dont see the problem, yes its not a top quailty machine, but its an honest description, hes not trying to make out that its a stihl like you usualy see.

I'm fairly sure its not been made in Germany, which makes it false advertising.

would u be happy to assume that its safe to use and have the required stamps to ensure it meets safety regulations......... its probably not a saw a 'professional' would buy so leaves it to general public to buy and use who perhaps don't realise the safety issues that maybe present!
