Solo chainsaw

[TurtleWoods72]

I've been able source genuine Solo parts from a Germany dealer who advertises on fleabay.

 

 

Why does everyone who uses ebay refer to it as 'fleabay' ?

 

Much like the people who rave about the bargain tools they bought from 'Halfrauds'?

 

You can't please some people...

Now finally got all parts ordered. Good saw but parts far to hard to get, so I dont recommend Solo saws. Air filter is going to cost me £32.50 aswell

I can't understand that either, so much easier to use than Bumtree or Preloathed

Great news you got sorted :thumbup:

Yeah just got 4 to 5 week wait for parts from abbey,swindon. guess they getting them from Germany.

Disappointing that Solo never got back to me, maybe mailed them 5 times!

They probably couldn't understand your thick scottish accent.

Disappointing to hear how hard it was to get the bits you needed, I'll have to take extra special care of my 646 now I know it could take 6 weeks to get replacement parts should I break anything! On balance I think it's still worth it, I would've had to buy a stihl ms241 if I wanted a comparable saw which would have meant spending another 500 quid or so, I can live with slow parts availability for that saving!

Yeah it is worth it I guess for the price. My 652 is amazing, eats wood no probs. See there going for around £500 now,I got mine for £240 last year.

 

Just wish parts were easier to get and a little cheaper.

 

Going to be extremely careful with it now.

Who's selling 652's for £240 new?
