Homelite for best bang for the buck, Stihl FTW

If you’re just doing a little stuff around the house the Poulan works good. I have a 14" Poulan I bought a few years ago at Chase-Pitkin for $88. It’s not a great or powerful saw by any means but I’ve got more than $88 worth of work out of it. It’s also much lighter than pops’ Homelite SXL for limbing trimming.

The Craftsman is a Poulan.

If you are cutting lots of firewood or trees and want it to last for years buy a Stihl. They also make the best weedwackers too IMO.
