Malaysian" 365 " copies on fleabasy

[Stubby]

Have any of you seen the " Husqvarna 365 " saws on ebay from Malaysia ? The plastic mouldings and crank case appear to have been reproduced faithfully yet there is something about the patina that smacks of repro . The shape and dimensions look good in the pics but I am sure its not kosher ! They have even copied the box pretty good and the manual . I just wonder what the motor is like . There is one on there at the moment at £29 . No way am I tempted but Innocent people are going to get had I am sure . Is this a crime ?

Just had a look, seems a bit fishy. That packaging box looks well dodge, and the felling-aimer line 'whatdjamecallit' looks like its been coloured in with permanent marker, the safety info stickers look like they've been stuck on by a half-blind sleep-deprived Malaysian factory worker too.

If its a copy its the best I've seen, why do you think its malaysian?

 

It would be easy to tell in the flesh but from a picture it certainly fools me....

Cos on the listing it says " from Malaysia " but it could be from anywhere I suppose .

I'm sure these have been brought up before.

 

And yes the felling lines have been drawn on as they don't come in a colour on the genuine saw. Also the line under the bar nuts is a thick black sticker.

 

I must admit that compared to the husky real pictures it is very close.

Will soon no if it was a fake when spud gets one in the post with a note asking for it to be ported.

I think you mean punted .............in the skip !

Just noticed that the chainbrake on the left hand side of the saw is attached into the fan housing on the dodgy one, but on the known 365 its attached to the main saw casing
