[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 2818271, member: 1055"] I'm a Stihl guy, everything I have from them is rock solid, and I bought with the same perspective of having it until I die... That said I haven't bought a Stihl chain saw yet. I do have an Echo, bought it from a guy in the neighborhood that used it once, $350 saw for $100, it was almost brand new. I've put it through hell, ice storm of 2007 I ran the snot out of it, and even thought I had killed it when I accidentally used straight gas instead of pre-mix. Noticed the lack of power, and the excessive heat eventually and drained the fuel and added mixed fuel. Really thought I toasted the top end. The saw runs fine, and starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull still, won't die, so I can't buy a Stihl until it does. I suspect it living through my stupidity is more of a testament to the 2 stroke oil I use, but still, a cheap saw would have grenaded, IMO. [/QUOTE]
