Time will tell how good it is. Got a lot of work in next few weeks.

 

I'm under no illusions its a Chinese saw.

Lets see how long it lasts!

 

Got some clearing to do from high winds last year and a fair bit of cutting so will see how long before I break it.

Is it really worth the risk?

Looks decent enough. Chain brake works.

 

Don't see any more risk tbh.

 

Its a cheap chainsaw.

Efco are the second oldest 2 stroke engine maker in the world and if you go back to the 80's 90's im sure you'll find their engines in stihl's and husky's and just about every other petrol tool manufacturer. They only started making tools around 2000 i think.

I've had a 132s top handle which was under powered and replaced with a 200t but i've also had 136,4210sp,156, ground saws and i still have the 136 in the shed. Cracking saw's for the money and a world apart from the chinese saw's.
