I own half dozen husqvarnas and 2 stihl saws. Never had any issues with eother brands and most were bought used and abused, after a good once over I will take any one of them into the woods with nothing but a saw wrench, file and gas and oil. I even have a "sears" saw that was built in the mid 80's that I bought for 15$ needing a new sproket could not find through sears, finaly found out it was a husqy saw in a sears case. I hand ported and polished cylinder and muffler mod and it screams for 8-10 hrs a day with nothing more than a sharpening and tightening of chain.
