[predator]

thank you

 

i thought i was going dafter than i am already & as the lady stated in her hemail its an import>>>>> & i thought all stihls were imported

I really don't understand how people can get away with selling these, as they don't even look anything like a Stihl. Something needs to be done to stop these horrible looking imitations that obviously don't pass any health and safety inspections coming in to the UK. Some poor so and so that knows very little about chainsaws will no doubt buy one of these for back garden use and hurt themselves badly.

saw some watchdog type programme a while back,it had these fakes on there,pieces of junk and dangerous,issues with chain brake etc

Looks just like a Stihl to me, it is orange and grey afterall:lol:

 

The only place Stihls are not imported is the country of origin - Germany
