Echo? Echo!

Stihl or Husky…Stihl or husky...OR Echo?

 

Heard a few positive comments about the Echo top handle saw, but do I trust my hard earned cash to a relative unknown?

 

Stihl I`ve worked with before over the last two years in Canada and Husqavarna I`ve seen everywhere working to par with their German cousin..

 

But Echo, I hear their light, trusty and cheaper but are they sturdy? do they have the guts?

 

Fill me in guys.

Cheers

I'd stick with Sthil if i was you, since you've been using them already. Sthil all the way for me mate.

 

Echo dont do it for me, they look cheap.

[James_skingley]

Yeah dont they, I thought I might break it in the shop. They look like they might be sold in the littlewoods catalouge...

[Peter]

if you can afford it, buy a stihl, if you cant afford it, save up till you can afford a stihl.

[James_skingley]

boring first question

[Peter]

Er, no, Manchester. Bit like LA, but without the palm trees. Plenty of hard drugs and armed robbery though.

[James_skingley]

Yeah I like Manchester too. Went there last year to see Kriss Krisstopherson managed not to get shot or take heroine for one night,which was nice.

 

Sofar it seems to be angled towards Stihl, cant say im suprised but thought there may be an Echo fan out there...

Stihl for me too, i have nearly caved in a few times with husky and echo but i just dont have the bottle. Also it's the parts thing for me aswell, i have a mid 90s jonsered, 60cc good saw, well made, powerful but been waiting over 3 weeks for a piston now, even an older stihl you can get parts in 3-4 days and theres loades of dealers.
