Excellent review of these saws. It nice to see a review after gear has been used for a while rather than it coming straight out of the box 😁 I encourage you to use the grey clip on the back of the Husqy again, this is fantastic as it means you can stow it away with one hand rather than having to move the clip and/or the caritool. I wish all saws had this clip for easy stowing of saws. Keep up the great work!!

Exchanging with Husqvarna for the T540i XP battery saw after having lots of stalling issues with the new Husqvarna 130. No problems with the string or hedge trimmer battery version. No servicing the engine/carb is one less thing to worry about. May lose the sound but it's not a car! Just need it to get the job done reliably. Excellent review!
@wayne-wango-wever83933 роки тому
I believe the words you where looking for was back bar or back cut. Thank you for the in-depth review. The Huski would have me a little hesitant on a purchase because of the smaller chain gage as battery saws generally put out more torque than gas powered saws.
@ahdefga3 роки тому
You can switch out the chain drive gear with a spare part from 535i to get 3/8" pitch and switch out the bar to either 1.3 or 1.5 mm for the 540i XP to use other chains! Cheers

Good review but I disagree that the Stihl should have an on/off button. Being able to instantly use it without having to wait for the electronics to wake up is great -- I hate having to press the On button and wait 2 seconds when limbing or sawing logs etc. The chainbrake makes on/off switches unnecessary. Been using an MSA200 for 3 years, now have a 161T, and the extra safety button on the handle is not a problem.

Use properly sharpened chains that you don’t need to push. The ECHO is a game-changer. Light weight and nimble. I’ve worked with people who constantly stalled chains on an MS200T in the cut. A properly sharpened chain will self-feed and cut faster than laying on the saw. No interest in 1/4 pitch chains or saws that look like a converted Dust Buster.

With all due respect for your great in depth analysis and knowledge, is it only me that thinks all of the chainsaws have too loose a tension on the chains? Looking at the video with the saws on the bench, all the saws chains seem to sag slightly. A loose chain could likely come off and there would be damage to it.

Another factor is the batteries. Having other battery powered tools to me means that I should probably buy a saw that uses the same batteries as well. For that reason I bought a Milwaukee 10 foot pruning chain saw. I will get the hand held chainsaw later . Electric saws DO have their place I agree.

Thank you for not having any background music that is just a distraction. You say your main issue with the Echo saw is that due to its lightness etc, you would be concerned people would use it with one hand? As it is a top handle saw, that isn't that what it s designed for, just like all the other top handle saws. What is the issue you have with using the top handle Echo with one hand? Isn't that what it is designed for?

Congratulations you make everything very useful videos One advice because i have the Stihl MSA 161 T ,the small battery AP 100 it do not recommend from the manufacturer,because dropdown the power.I had done a test with small battery AP 100 and the chainsaw it have the 50 % less power cut.Τhe manufacturer suggests battery from AP 200 and up. I do not like the third switch at Stihl MSA 161 T ,i like better the third switch the system Echo - Husqvarna.
