I bought this saw for £139 and it is excellent value for the money, starting is faultless if you follow the instructions,the chain is still sharp after 30 hours of use and is of good quality, it uses very little fuel for the work it does and it came in a good quality case, the only fault i found is the fuel pick up can move around in the tank and cause starvation at some angles when cutting, i find this saw to be a tough reliable tool that does what it should do when used in a safe manner.
