Efco is the same saws as oleo mac, both italian made I think.

 

Italian version of arbtalk has alot of discussion on efco/oleomac.

Was reading there about active 40.40 (another italian brand) as cheapo version of the stihl 201 rear handle. They seem to rate it.

very interesting there poll for different size chain saws see the sthil and shindawa came top of polls in the 45cc class oleo mac only scored 2% was hoping to see it at the top of the league

hampshire garden machinery are dealers for efco which is the same as oleo mac

I have a Efco 156/Oleo 956 which is the current 50-something cc pro saw offering.

 

Pro: build is ace, saw is very much like a Husky 254xp. Great for firewood.

 

Anti: old school and heavier than equivalent modern saws.

 

I love it (project saw) but I don't use it professionally.

Also!

 

UK support is terrible compared to Stihl/Husq unless you're near a decent dealer. There is literally only one online source for spares, albeit quite a good one.

 

Also also!

 

Spares are rather more expensive than Stihl/Husq.

EMAK is the parent company; same saw; red or orange/grey. I don't dislike them
