has anyone ever used one of these?

Saw you would only want a 201t to last 8 months???

 

good way of looking at it.

 

the only reason i would buy one of these would be as an emergency backup (as in i would hope i would never have to use one), but then i'd rather just have an old 020t or 200t as backup....

Always interested in how long cheap stuff lasts. Helps to keep prices of proper stuff real. Eventually they will get the quality right. And the other bonus is they never get nicked. Unless the tea leafs are really stupid.

Very often the cheap stuff does not actually do what its intended to do, yet alone last. I had one in the other day ( just a cheapy, not one in the OP ) it started and ran OK but the clutch was so small and weak that the chain stopped as soon as it met any resistance.

It took ages just to get through an 8" cord, by which time the clutch was smoking. This was an almost new saw. Money wasted IMO.
