i had some work to do at my place. super happy i had to buy a chainsaw to do it.

went to the shop and grabbed the first Stihl i came across. the sales person talked me down, and sold me an Echo. they only sold Stihl, Husky, and Echo.

my Echo is insane. (sorry) it has "retard strength". i nicknamed the saw "LENNY" i took it up to the mountains with a bunch of coworkers to clear a few downed, GIGANTIC trees. my Echo was the best running tool of the bunch. it was the smallest, and i think i cut the most. i do know i rescued every saw out there. at my bowrange, i bring my own saw for work. i cant seem to get their Stihls started as easily as mine.

oh, when i bought it, the guys made me watch a safety video and he gave me a safety talk and demo. took one hour. i figured it was worth it. best take away: never loan the saw out..they didnt have the safety talk.
