Personally I'll stick with my 201T but a quick search on ebay and you could use this as a cheap saw. Not convinced on the build quality at that price tho...

I don't have a problem with the weight of the 020, does using a lighter saw for much of the time mean that your arms becomes weaker, meaning that when you do use the 020 it appears heavier?

 

PS, I personally don't want to be going to the gym to keep my arms strong enough for the 020.

 

No I dont think it works like that huck,,but the little saw might just as easily reduce the wear & tear your upper body goes through.

 

Give one a try & see how you feel,nowt to loose if you can lay your hands on one.

been using Echo 2600 and Zenoah G2500 for years now, both great wee saws. Was misled by advertised weight of Hitachi recently, piece of crap. Use 335/338 for larger stuff, notice big difference in weight.

That Tanaka I have is eaven heavier than an MS200T, same CC roughly, less power. BHP/KG ratio not great!

One the guys i work with has the ms 192 which is very nice, on a lighter note, haha, i saw a top handled saw by a czech company called hecht in my local tesco of all places, my neighbour bought one for the garden and at 120 euro seemed quite a bargain... just hope he doesnt hurt himself

I've recently picked up an 019T which needs a little attention. I may or may not keep it once it's done but that's a lovely handy little saw...

 

Where abouts are you in Slovak..?

How about the new Stihl 150? Absolutely tiny apparently...

Much as I love my little echo,I'm always interested in alternative kit,but they dont import these into the uk,same as the 192.

Shame.
