[QUOTE="ga.prime, post: 1180533, member: 14046"] I have a Husqvarna and a Stihl and I like the Husqvarna better. It's longer, starts easier, has better balance, and has a longer adjustment on the chain. Don't have the telescoping one, it's a lot heavier to tote around than the non-telescoping. The saws can and will get pinched even when cutting from the top of the limb because many limbs tend to swing left or right rather than fall straight down. But, I've yet to have one pinched bad enough to abandon it. You'll get a lot of sawdust in your eyes and shirt pocket. Probably should wear safety glasses but I don't. I must have cut a million limbs and forks out of trees with these things. I've never had a saw pinched cutting a fork out. The worst I've had happen was a heavy hickory limb fell straight down after I cut through it and I had dropped the head of the saw down to the ground ahead of the falling limb and the limb landed on top and broke the head clean off the shaft. That was a $200 mistake. That was worse than the time a falling oak limb sideswiped my ear and about ripped it off my head. [/QUOTE]
