Lloyds Kelso had a shelf full of husqvarnas yesterday, having completely restocked it since Saturday...
When they don’t return a phone call they don’t deserve the sale 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also they like to price a good bit higher than others for the same thing 😏 was looking for a cylinder head for our saw last year they wanted over £200, could get the exact same part online for less than £50

That Hyundai has to be a steal- even comes with 2 chains?! I mean are these companies getting rid of stock or what?

Mine turned up today, so we’ll soon see.

Been happy enough with £70 Screwfix 40cc saws for the last few years, with a view that they were so cheap it was no great loss once they’d outlived their warranty. Handy, lightweight saws, even when given a bit more than perhaps they should be chewing at.

£101 for a 62cc saw with a 3 yr warranty seems like a good deal as a replacement though (my bigger Stihl stays back for proper jobs).

Only criticism I have of the Chinese clone saws is that the anti vibration is nowhere near as good as even husky 2xx series saws.

Performance wise there is nothing wrong with them and fit and finish isn't too bad for the money either.

I have a 572xp on a 24inch bar and it's nowhere
near as nice to use.The 390 is a bit heavy on the fuel but
never feels lacking.
The fuel issues were the reason why husky were forced to stop making them ,,too many EU emissions regulations ,,daft thing is though ,,the big saws are still made in Brazil but they dont have the CE sticker on them .
I rather have a thirsty saw that doesnt fall at the first hurdle than some computerised softy that's guaranteed to go wrong
