What Cutoff Saw Would You Buy?
We are getting ready to retire two Stihl TS400 gas powered cut off saws with diamond blades. We use them primarily to cut concrete, pavers and retaining wall blocks and cut wet 99% of the time. We have had several problems with these saws over the years and are looking at trying out another brand. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Re: What Cutoff Saw Would You Buy?
What chainsaw would you buy for Commercial use??
These Demo Saws are nothing but overgrown Chainsaws with a "water feature". Me...........Stihl or Husqvarna.

Re: What Cutoff Saw Would You Buy?
What problems have you had?
I prefer Stihl. Husky is a fine saw I've just had better luck with Stihl.

Re: What Cutoff Saw Would You Buy?
The Stihl TS-420 has taken the place of the TS-400. If you're not happy with that model, I would try Diamond Products' SpeediCut, or SpeediCut Jr. for the more price sensitive contractor. I have had success selling both to my customers. Stihl seems to remain the brand of choice with the majority of Contractors.
