New Stihl Policy

[Steve Bullman]

👎 2.5years and just gone on to my second pair only because i couldn't be arsed sowing some holes up

 

You're not seriously complaining about getting 2.5 years out of a pair of trousers are you?

 

Jeeez...you should have tried the trousers we had to work in 10 years ago before the new fangled fabrics came on the market....6 months they would look respectable for if you were lucky.

Just checked with our local Stihl shop and the same applies here in NZ. No online sales. He, fortunately, is not a Stihl franchisee as such but just a stockist. Also fortunately, we have never needed to order anything online and, unlike others, our local Stihl guy is good. He gives us good discounts, lets us trial new saws, gets repairs done same day or by the following day and his mechanic is good enough that we take out husky to him as well. Seems like we landed on our feet.

Husky are pro online sales, to the point they were talking about making stuff possible to buy direct

Echo does not have the same policy as Stihl. Nor does Husky.

just my two penneth worth,

 

I am now in the market for another saw I'm running a stihl at the moment mostly logging and occasional felling all my own maintenance/sharpening etc, and almost exclusively due to Stihls policy I will be getting a husky next as I cant be chasing around for consumable items which I normally pre order in advance and from being almost exclusively Stihl equipment I am now only running with 30% of Stihl kit my PPE is due for a revamp after Christmas and that will not be stihl.

 

So the customer will start seeing Husky more and more and Stihl will start to fall from the public vision of the professionals choice, which from Stihls marketing point of view will be suicide as a previous post alluded to Joe public wants to use what the professionals use which could well be Husky

you can still buy stihl stuff online without restriction

I think the online dealers are ignoring the restriction- goood on them
