Yes cheaper brandless thing is cheaper.
Why on earth does this exist?
Everything is bigger in Texas (and Queensland).
Other places need smaller chainsaws.
(for those not into classic horrors, this is a reference to "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre")
Same price at all Sithl dealers currently, recently purchased one from a Stihl shop.
I am told this pricing is due to go live at all stihl dealers on the 1st of sep.
Like the design.
Was tempted by this a while ago but don't quite see the point when a pair of loppers or a decent hand saw will do the job. Already have Stihl pruner multitool attachment and a small chainsaw for taller/bigger branches.
I have this, find it very useful for backyard pruning. There's a lot of things that I struggle to use secuteers on that this gets through with ease. And much quicker than a hand saw for bigger stuff.
I don't think it's perfect though. There is no ability to tension the chain (even though it says you can in the manual you actually can't). Also strappy side branches/twigs/sawdust tend to get caught up under the cover and can knock the chain out of place.
