Favorite Saw?
Real saw, a mans saw, a saw with an engine, we're talking CHAINSAWS BABY!!!
![]() My favorite saw, hands dow with no hesitation, is my Husqvarna 359 w/ 26" bar. I have bigger and more powerful saws, and smaller saws, but the 359 is my can-do saw. One of the better balanced saws Husqy makes. Excellent throttle response, plenty of power, light enough to use for several hours without fatiguing. The 359 is the best all rounder I've ever used, and it's not even a pro grade saw! ![]() What's your favorite saw?

Re: Favorite Saw?
No doubt what yours is Husqypro.
I do love a Stihl though.

Re: Favorite Saw?
Long as it doesn't have safety chain I'll give it a try. If I'm going to screw up and cut myself I want to do a proper job of it.
Even some of Husqvarnas pro series saws now come with safety chain. Madness!

Re: Favorite Saw?
I got about 5 Stihl's.
All we ever heated with at my parents was firewood. I didnt see an option for a Festo.

Weve only ever had stihls, but I have used a Husky, and I wouldnt have a problem buying one for the right price.

Re: Favorite Saw?
87.5% for Stihl? This poll is biased. I demand a recount. We must have some sort of a hanging chad issue here.

Re: Favorite Saw?
I favor Husky's, but you forgot Shindaiwa. They too make damn good saws. I dont see Partner up there either.

Re: Favorite Saw?
I tried to get as many of the major brands as I could in the poll. Feel free to vote other on any brands I may have missed as your favorite.

Re: Favorite Saw?
Really a tough question because most people have only tried one maybe two saws. You really have to try many brands to answer a question like this objectively.

Re: Favorite Saw?
The only one I have that actually WORKS is an old electric 14" Wenn with a manuel oiler.
My father has a 26" Homelite thats about 50 years old and he went to get a new chain for it and the salesman went into the back and pulled an old rusty chain from a pail and said "I don't know where we got this and I can't get anymore so just take it". Its a beast, in five minutes my arms feel like they are about to fall off and my thumb is soar from the stiff oiler. I'm with-hold my vote for I haven't used enough chainsaws to make an accurate vote. |

Re: Favorite Saw?
ICS makes my favorite chainsaw, but I use mine for cutting concrete. For wood I own a Stihl and a Poulan, the Poulan is easier to start.

Re: Favorite Saw?
I always hear that husqvarna is the best (cut off saws), but I prefer stihl.

Re: Favorite Saw?
My two favorites are a stihl ts400 & the yard boss. I keep both in the truck at all times.
