dont buy the poulan… you already know why
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.
i have a Husqvvarna that I bought during the storm last year (didnt have much of a choice) its a great saw dont get me wrong, but seen as how you HAVE a choice, get a STIHL
Whatever kind he uses… they always seem to work pretty well :shrug:
all i have left to do is put a new chain on mine then you can use it. i took care of the other stuff while i had my mini vacation lol
