why do some people take the stihl/husky debate so seriously?

You need a trip to Tescos to answer that one.

Hi.

 

people seem to like certain brands

 

Dosnt matter so long as it does the job, trouble is manufacturers needlessly 'improve' their saws & in doing sometimes inject defects which they wash their hands of when people get their fingers burnt.

 

But same thing goes on in all sorts of industries, car manufacturing for example

Yes having a monopoly is best for profit so creating a false monopoly by brand loyalty is a good ploy.

 

Like TCD I'd justify my use of Husky saws in my type of work 30 years ago but I'd be daft to think nothing had changed since, one thing I am aware of is that power to weight seems to have improved with the Stihl 260 and 261s I pick up occassionally nowadays.

Of which I prefer the 260

Maybe same reason as people fighting to the death over whichever football team they support.

No rhyme nor reason to it and shows lack of intelligence imo.

Me too especially to work on. The 261s I've worked on have been standard non electronic carbs, I have yet to try a newer one.

Still have a Quasar from back when Terra Nova was Wild Country.

 

Of course Phoenix were even better
