  1. The chain brake hasn't worked for decades on my chainsaw. But you know what, I know it's a chainsaw so I never try grabbing the business end of the tool.

  2.  @gorkyd7912  what do I care about resale value? I'm not in the used saw business. If I buy a saw it's because I need a saw. And no used tools ain't worth jack. Ten cents on the dollar, maybe. Unless you're selling to a fool.

  3. Yeah but I could buy 5 cheap saws for what the Stihl costs.

  4. You don't sharpen knives with files. They make ceramic rods.

  5. Considering how crappy it can be to work on chainsaws tossing it might be the best option.

  8. Yeah it's not on par with the Stihl but I'm not a lumberjack either so I don't really care.

  10.  @towboatjeff  It may have been bored or stroked. Or maybe it is the same. A lot of Chinese companies are pretty lax when it comes to specs. They seem to just make values up at times.

  11. Who knows what the longevity of the far eastern brands is. But for what they cost you can just buy a new saw.

  12. The Stihl cost 5 times as much but was not 5 times better.
