Husky 550xpg

True. They had long enough!

 

Crikey, they really could have cornered the market couldn't they?

[NI Tree]

they are brilliant

You and me both mate, can't add that much more weight surely.

 

heated handles adds 200g to the 550. maybe it's a ball ache fitting it into the top handle design...

The t540 was a slam dunk.. I know a few who have tried both and prefer the 201, but they are fast becoming a minority... I can't wait to get myself one but if they'd made an xp g.. I know husky owners who will swap in winter to a Stihl if a hh is available even on a worse saw.. a better saw with hh, market sown up tight for a decade imo.

[Mark Bolam]

Totally agree mate.

I reckon your right.. all that switch stuff and the hh pack.. might make it bad on ergonomics or rsi in wrist or fingers.. total guesswork though.

anybody using this version ,want to sea how the h/h working

 

I have one. the HH make a big difference. keep turning them on and off but great in the cold and the wet. I only have 2 saw without heated handles. Wish they had them. Personally i won't buy a saw without them.

That is about rounded off numbers - I doubt it really weights that much....
