You can't buy the husky pro line of saws at the big box stores. You can buy them on line.

Should something go wrong with it where would you take a husky saw to have it worked on? Pretty sure Stihl only sells products where they can be serviced.

JD sells Stihl and that would be my last choice for a service location.

I had a husky 20 years ago and paid $500.00 for it. It was one of the hardest starting saws I ever had. I have a Stihl now and it starts easy and performs well. I would probably try a Jonsared if Stihl quit making saws - which is unlikely.

Why is that?

The husky pro line saws are fairly easy to fix and rebuild yourself. Parts are easy to get online. I do agree stihl has a much better dealer network. My stihl dealer fixes any brand chainsaw you bring him.

Very unlikely stihl goes anywhere but jonserud and husky are the same saw with different handles and covers. All owned by the same company.

High, shop labor rate and I have had bad luck, being ripped off, having incompetent people TRY and fix my stuff. I want some guy, who works on saws all day long, who has repaired thousands, working on mine.

I had taken my Poulan Pro in to a local Stihl dealer for service a number of times over the years. The last time I took it in was right at the start of the firewood cutting season and he told me he was only servicing Stihl saws now. He said after the rush dies down he would take a look at my saw. I was mad. That was a few years ago. Last week I went in an bought a new Stihl from him:confused3:

You rewarded him for bad behavior.

They teach that in parenting class. :laughing:
